The purpose of this article is to discuss automated analysis and report generation of
key characteristics measurement data. Key
characteristics (KCs) are those features of a
part whose measurements must be kept to
the nominal values through process control
to minimize the "Taguchi Loss." KC measurements are taken using different
types of metrology heads, such as laser
trackers, or other types of scanners. The
actual process discussed in this article
requires gathering KC data using laser trackers.
