This one-day course is for staff who make dimensional measurements on components and for staff who calibrate dimensional measuring equipment. 

Objectives

The course provides participants with the knowledge and skills:

• to understand the dimensional characteristics of workpieces and how to relate them to datums
• to understand the fundamental principles used to measure dimensional characteristics
• to identify and minimise various sources of error that arise in dimensional measurement

Outline

The topics covered include:

• measurement fundamentals: reproducibility, repeatability, linearity, hysteresis, closure, drift, periodic errors, filtering, cosine errors, temperature, scale errors and readability
• dimensional characterisics: flatness, straightness, parallelism, roundness, cylindricity, form, angularity, perpendicularity, position, coaxiality, runout and symmetry
• hands-on demonstrations of the application of measurement fundamentals of components and simple measuring instruments such as micrometers, callipers and dial gauges
• the transfer of measurement fundamentals to more complex measuring instruments such as coordinate measuring machines and lasers
