生产率和产品质量,一直是生产中的两大重点。生产自动化和产品高质量、高精度同样是机械制造行业发展的两大方向。人们在这两大方向的努力都离不开检测。比如,自动化生产中的许多信息需要通过检测来提供,各种可能出现的故障也要通过检测去察觉和避免,所需要的精度也要靠检测来保证。同时,许多先进技术要成为实用,其关键也在于传感器技术的应用,而且,越是柔性的生产过程,越是需要先进的传感器。 Productivity and product quality have always been two major priorities in production. Production automation and high-quality, high-precision products are also two major directions for the development of the machinery manufacturing industry. People’s efforts in these two directions are inseparable from testing. For example, many information in automated production needs to be provided through inspections, and all kinds of possible failures must be detected and avoided through inspection. The accuracy required also depends on testing. At the same time, many advanced technologies must become practical. The key lies in the application of sensor technology. Moreover, the more flexible the production process, the more advanced sensors are needed.
