Sheet metal defects pose a serious cost and quality problem for automotive companies. Automobiles shipped to the customer with dings, dents, buckles and other sheet metal defects do not meet the level of quality expected today. Much cost is currently being expended to inspect and repair the sheet metal both at the assembly plants and the stamping plants. An objective surface quality rating standards has been established for automotive sheet metal panels. This standard allow for ready integration into a production quality control system in stamping plants. Examples of it's use are given as well as comparisons to more traditional methods of rating sheet metal quality. The superiority of the fully automated rating system is shown.
