Now, you can inspect cast parts for porosity according to the Reference Sheet P 203 of the Federation of German Foundry Industry (BDG) and perform a 3D evaluation with regard to the most critical defect parameters within functional areas of the part. The new P203 analysis within our Extended Porosity/Inclusion Analysis Module allows you to generate porosity keys using an intuitive interface, define a reference volume exactly according to the inspection plan using the ROI functions of VGSTUDIO MAX, and get a quick overview of all global tolerancing criteria and results for the P 203 analysis. The new P203 analysis includes porosity tolerance per region, equivalent defect diameter, and the total number of defects as tolerancing parameters.
The new P203 analysis within the Extended Porosity/Inclusion Analysis Module includes defect evaluation and independent tolerancing of different ROIs within one P 203 analysis, the ability to more flexibly combine the tolerancing and filtering of defects based on their characteristics, and the option to evaluate freeform reference volumes (ROIs) only inside the object’s boundaries (surface), which makes it easy to set up a fully automated in-line inspection. To efficiently and flexibly inspect your part, the P 203 analysis function is equipped with additional features such as porosity and hot spot calculation, distance to machined surface, annotations, and bookmark image generation. Like VGEasyPore, P 203 offers new subvoxel accuracy and absolute and relative defect contrast definition.
With the added support for BDG Reference Sheet P 203, VGSTUDIO MAX together with Q-DAS qs-STAT cover the complete loop from the specification of porosity tolerancing criteria according to P203 by the product designer to statistical process control by the quality engineer. Now, it’s possible to easily transfer tolerancing criteria for porosities from drawings to the software without errors. The tolerancing keys in the drawing are displayed in the software and an overview of the corresponding tolerancing results is displayed in one easy-to-understand table. The results of a P 203 analysis can be exported to the Q-DAS software qs-STAT for statistical process control.
The results of a P 203 analysis can be documented using Reporting via Excel—or the new integrated reporting function. Introduced in version 3.4.4, the completely new integrated reporting function lets you edit and view reports in Volume Graphics applications exactly as they will appear in the PDF, customize them, automate their creation, and store them directly in your .vgl project. This allows you to report P 203 results along with a faithful representation of the overview table of tolerancing results.
The new P203 analysis supports export to Q-DAS right from the start so that you can qualify and statistically analyze your casting processes. Using the Q-DAS ASCII transfer format, VGSTUDIO MAX can export your P 203 tolerances and codes and the related global porosity analysis results.
What goes for the new P203 analysis also applies to the other defect analyses of VGSTUDIO MAX. Now, it is possible to export toleranced, global porosity/inclusion analysis results and related tolerances in the Q-DAS ASCII transfer format for process qualification or statistical analysis in statistics software, such as qs-STAT from Q-DAS.
