Course outline:
Introduction to Measurement
· Measurement Error Sources
Precision hand tools and hard gaging:
· Micrometers, Calipers, Indicators, pin & ring gages and thread gaging.
Bench top measurement instruments:
· Height Gages, Bore Gages, Fixture Gages and Laser Micrometers.
Surface and form instruments:
· Profilometers, Contour Measurement, Roundness and Cylindricity Systems.
Optical measurement systems:
· Optical Comparators, Toolmaker’s Microscopes, Viewing Systems and Video Measurement Systems.
Contact coordinate measuring machines:
· Manual & Automatic CMMs, Single Point Touch Sensors & Scanning Sensors and Measuring Arms.
Multi sensor and hybrid coordinate measuring machines:
· Video Sensors, Laser Sensors, White Light Interferometers and Micro Probes.
Methods for analyzing and interpreting data results (2D & 3D)
· PC-DMIS, Measure-X, MeasureMind, VMS & SmartProfile Software
· Working with CAD and Measurement Data (Point Clouds)
· Understanding Least-Squares -vs- Minimum-Zone Fitting
· Understanding Criticality of Simultaneity Requirements within ASME Y14.5 Standard
Measurement Uncertainty / Traceability
Gage Repeatability & Reproducibility (corrected and uncorrected error sources)
Limitations of GR&R and Benefits of Measurement Uncertainty
Step by Step Approach in Calculating Measurement Uncertainty
Task-based -vs- Feature-based Measurement Uncertainty
Traceability (NIST, U95)
In each subject group an overview of the tools is followed by a demonstration of best application practices and a discussion of measurement uncertainty factors. Each subject session is concluded with a hands-on lab activity.
Various parts will be utilized during this seminar to provide the greatest understanding of measurement technology applicable to multiple industries. Students are encouraged to bring a part (with CAD modal and drawing) that represents their measurement challenges.
