Abstract:

Changes of a production process and consecutive alterations of products can be analysed by different methods. A particular error usually influences the product very specifically. So, if is it possible to classify the unsuitable product in a specific class of deformation, we could predict changes in the production process. Inspection of the production process is performed by a measuring system with a number of probes placed on the product. On the base of these measured values we could make additional classification of the product that is not required for the production control. The additional classification classifies the product in the appropriate class of deformations and diagnoses the defects in the production process. The purpose of the paper is to introduce a qualitative system model for classification. The presented concept is very general and could be used in different application domains not only for classification. We developed this concept to classify a product in a proper class of deformation and to identify and eliminate sources for the alteration in a production process.
