Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The term “manufacturing metrology” was originally used to indicate the measurement of components and inputs for a manufacturing process to ensure that they are within specification requirements. It can also indicate the performance measurement of manufacturing equipment.

This Special Issue welcomes papers revealing novel measurement methodologies and instrumentations for manufacturing metrology from the conventional industry to the frontiers of the advanced hi-tech industry. We are proud to work with a team of skillful editorial assistants and highly efficient and experienced reviewers. Under our services, your research outcomes can be realized in the production of high-quality papers within a short time. Please submit your manuscripts related to, but not limited to, the following areas:

  • Precision dimensional measurements;
  • New technology or instruments of on-machine measurements;
  • In-process dimensional control or error compensation;
  • Machine tool metrology;
  • Robot metrology;
  • Strategic planning of manufacturing metrology;
  • Traceability, uncertainty analysis of measurement systems;

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metrology is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Major aircraft manufacturers are expecting the commercial aircraft market to overcome the pre-COVID levels by 2025, which demands an increase in the production rate. However, aeronautical product assembly processes are still mainly manually performed with a low level of automation. Moreover, the current industry digitalization trend offers the possibility to develop faster, smarter and more flexible manufacturing processes, aiming at a higher production rate and product customization. Here, the integration of metrology within the manufacturing processes offers the possibility to supply reliable data to constantly adjust the assembly process parameters aiming at zero-defect, more digital and a higher level of automation manufacturing processes. In this context, this article introduces the virtual metrology as an assistant of the assembly process of the Advanced Rear-End fuselage component. It describes how the assembly process CADmodel is used by simulation tools to design, set up and perform the virtual commissioning of the new metrology-driven assembly methods, moving from a dedicated tooling approach to a more flexible and reconfigurable metrology-aided design. Preliminary results show that portable metrology solutions are fit-to-purpose even for hardly accessible geometries and fulfil the current accuracy demands. Moreover, the simulation environment ensures a user-friendly assembly process interaction providing further set-up time reduction. Full article
