In a manufacturing setting, the profile dimensions of the workpiece are key quality factors. Various automatic inspection approaches currently assess dimensions based on characteristics and variables, tool paths as OK or Not OK in CNC, and online inspection methods for other machines after manufacturing. However, continuous on-machine profile dimensions and simultaneous manufacturing were left to focus. An intelligent recognition system based on a laser lines sensor using a smart profile dimension detection algorithm (SPDA) communicates real-time measurement information to the operator. It plots the current status of the Workpiece, mapping linear distance by accurate laser reflection of the exact mid-surface line of the workpiece as profile data of a symmetric shaft. It compares the length-diameter obtained from longitudinal and lateral sensors with the master data provided. The algorithm implements Python libraries for displaying panels and organizing workpieces. The standard image changes color from red to green as it is relevant to the status. The predetermined order of manufacturing parts and gradient descent optimization feature sets benchmarks to display the status of the workpiece. The real-time live measurement is facilitated with an error of less than 10%, i.e., 0.1 mm, saving manufacturing time by 30%. It also eliminates the inspection stage, and no reduced job rejection is found.
