16 Fuzzi Probe Innovation Project: A Novel Approach to Bore Diameter Measurements

Summary

Accurate bore-diameter measurement is essential for maintaining safety, performance and efficiency in manufacturing processes. This project addresses that challenge by developing a real-time, digital measurement system for use in Boeing production environments. The device uses mechanical vibration, an accelerometer and a Hall-effect sensor to measure bore diameter with high precision. Results are displayed through a user interface, indicating whether measurements meet specifications. The goal is to improve measurement efficiency and data visibility while maintaining established standards of accuracy.
