Course Objective

To provide fundamental to advanced information in applications and analysis of measurement equipment used to determine compliance to mechanical engineering drawings per the ASME Y14.5M-1994 Standard.

Prerequisites

Precision GD&T: Introduction & Fundamental Principles or equivalent knowledge.

Course Objective

To provide advanced information in applications and analysis (per ASME Y14.5 and ASME Y14.5.1) involving optimization strategies for given design applications, manufacturing methodologies and measurement implications.

Prerequisites

Precision GD&T: Introduction & Fundamental Principles or equivalent knowledge. It is critical that each individual reviews this course content to ensure a positive level of proficiency in all areas. If not proficient, it is suggested to take this course prior to the advanced course to ensure an optimum level of understanding.

Course Objective

To provide hands on insight to fundamental measurement error sources and to learn how to use shop level measurement equipment. To provide insight on how to test the calibration on instruments using precision artifacts to ensure gages do not drift from their original calibration and induce an undesirable bias. Students will also be introduced to how to analyze the repeatability and reproducibility of measurement instruments (GR&R).

Prerequisites

“GD&T Intermediate Principles” An interpretation level knowledge of GD&T is required to allow all participants to be successful in this class. If students do not have this level of competency they will not understand “why” measurements are being taken a particular way.

Course Objective

Provide a foundational understanding of measurement uncertainty per the ASME B89.7.2 Standard on “Guidelines for the Evaluation of Dimensional Measurement Uncertainty.” To solidify fundamental to intermediate information in interpretation, application and analysis of measurement uncertainty using multiple measurement instruments and sensors to determine compliance to mechanical drawing requirements; To understand the strengths and weaknesses of the GR&R approach and a total assessment of measurement uncertainty .

Prerequisites

“GD&T Advanced Applications & Analysis” and “Applied Dimensional Metrology” All individuals must have an advanced working knowledge of GD&T and a foundational knowledge of Applied Dimensional Metrology to be successful in this class .

Course Objective

To provide business level insight to all management levels of the technical challenges and business level implications of GD&T and measurement. To provide direct insight to the implications effective GD&T has on improving product development cycles and customer/supplier relationships. Establish a core foundational understanding of the scope of GD&T applicability to all departments/divisions within area the company.

Course Objective

To apply tolerancing optimization techniques using multiple analytical methods and tolerance analysis techniques to a wide variety of components and sub-assemblies, from the very simple to the more complex situations commonly faced in industry today.

"GD&T - Advanced Applications! An advanced knowledge of GD&T is required to allow all participants to be successful in learning tolerancing optimization and tolerance analysis techniques. If not proficient in GD&T at an advanced level it is strongly recommended that all individuals take or retake the advanced course prior to the tolerancing optimization and analysis course to ensure an optimum and proficient level of understanding.
