8:00 am – 4:00pm

This course provides the student with theory and skills needed to perform dimensional inspections. Students will learn to study a part print, select, and use the proper measuring tool(s). Concepts introduced include precision, discrimination, accuracy, and calibration. Previously learned print reading skills are expanded to include Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing.

Objectives:

• Build working knowledge of precision, discrimination, accuracy, repeatability, traceability, calibration, and tolerancing.

• Identify, select, and use portable measuring instruments and attributes gages.

• Make open setup measurements using common measuring equipment. Compare and contrast absolute & relative dimensions and measurements.

• Operate or explain computer assisted optical comparator, manual coordinate measuring machine, and a precision spindle.

• Recognize GD&T symbols, and interpret and measure conformance to Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing call outs.

• Check surface texture and flatness using a profilometer and optical flats.

• Understand and participate in gage control systems.
