COURSE OVERVIEW

Come explore the world of dimensional measurement in this 5-Day program. Whether you are a new employee to a PW plant site or a PW supplier, or one looking for refresher training, this program will cover many intermediate and advanced topics required to understand in a hands-on manner what it takes to properly utilize the most common measurement instruments used on aerospace engine components. This course builds up on the previous “Principles of Inspection” course that covers the fundamentals of measurement instruments, GD&T basic concepts, basics of surface metrology and gage selection criteria. The ability to measure properly and to evaluate measurement systems used is becoming more prevalent in today’s competitive manufacturing landscape that interacts with tighter product tolerances, applied process controls and product acceptance plans.

TARGET AUDIENCE

PW Supplier Quality Engineers/Representatives, Quality Engineers, Inspectors, and Manufacturing Engineers. This course is also open to PW suppliers. Anyone involved with root cause corrective action investigations, planning out manufacturing processes, first article inspection reviews, PPAP reviews and involved with applying PFMEA and process control methods.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this certificate program, students should have a solid overview of:

• Math skills used in measurement applications

• Hands-on application of reading and using basic mechanical gages (e.g., 0-1” Micrometer, 0-6” Digital Caliper, Depth Gages, Gage Blocks with wringing, Go-No Go Gages such as pin plug gages, Surface Plates with Height Stand & Indicator, Sine Bar, etc.),

• Surface Quality - Contact and noncontact methods. R and S parameter. Effect of filters and cutoff lengths

• GD&T tolerances, including calculations and inspection setups for datum boundaries, total feature tolerance, fundamentals of functional gage design, datum stability check on a feature control frame based on degrees of freedom constrained by different datum features at RMB.

• How to calculate and check position tolerances for a pattern of features.

• Measurement System Analysis (how to conduct a Gage Capability Studies using Minitab statistical software for variable data, both unilateral & bilateral tolerances, and attribute data; what is gage bias; gage stability; gage linearity; measurement uncertainty)
