COURSE OVERVIEW

Come explore the world of GD&T as it applies to CMMs in this 32-hour course. Whether you are a new employee to PW, new to the world of metrology and CMMs, a mechanical engineer with 20 years’ experience and/or feel that you are an expert in GD&T, this course will open your eyes to how the ASME Y14.5 is applied (many time, incorrectly) to the inspection programs running on the CMMs. While the course will cover what the basics of each tolerance as listed in the standard, the focus is on understanding how and when it should be applied along with understanding the results and why the software provided those results. This course also helps to clarify terms in the metrology world which are often misused. It will also help to remove a lot of assumptions that are common within this industry and allow engineers, metrologists and programmers to communicate more clearly. Due to this in-depth review, the student’s confidence in CMM and the results it is providing will increase significantly. All labs and/or exercises will be completed offline using the CAMIO software.

TARGET AUDIENCE

PW Inspectors, Quality engineers, Manufacturing Engineers, and Supplier Quality Engineers/Representatives. Anyone involved with dimensional inspection, gage correlations, planning out manufacturing processes, and first article inspection reviews.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this course, students should have a fundamental understanding of:

• Identifying and interpreting common ASME Y14.5 specifications and symbols

• Improving their understanding of the specification’s meaning and its use in inspection

• Programming features for correct and desired output

• Creating and applying tolerances correctly to meet design intent

• Interpreting the results of the tolerance output

• Common mistakes and misunderstandings

• How to explore and explain non-conformances
