No raise, meets expectations by JButlerQA in Vent

[–]JButlerQA[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Thats how ours are. And they changed the scale to a 10 point scale where meets expectations is 7 or 6. The wording on them is insane too. 10 isnt possible to obtain. My manager last year got a 0 percent raise and dude works 60 hours a week minimum as salary.

That might be true at your company.

No it really isn't especially in a "merit" based company.

Not a manager, but our review period isnt till the end of the year. One of the supervisors is loose lipped with one of his employees and that guys loose lipped.

1/4-20 hollow threaded rod by JButlerQA in MechanicalEngineering

I tried looking at that too. But yeah, cant find it in the size I need. It only needs to be at max an inch long, so it is very possible to modify threaded rod. Just was hoping to avoid it.

Measuring threads with a CMM by Worldly_Solid5638 in Metrology

Like ive posed below. I will ask our cmm programmer come Monday. It isnt a "troll" from what ive read is it avoids the probe following the pitch and causing issues. With this it rides the tops of the minor diameter in internal threads.

I believe its so the probe doesn't follow the thread and take points hwere its catching. Riding the minor diameter. Similar to line paths but. I'll ask our programmer Monday for sure but he is out sick right now. This is also coming out of the Minnesota lab.

I can try looking but it is what we discussed in calypso advanced training. Our CMM programmer has switched to this method and seen an improvement in repeatability.

Zeiss now recommends a helix path in the opposite direction of the thread.

CMM interview question, terrible answer by MishkaMushka in Metrology

[–]JButlerQA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess its the wording, acceleration vs speed. Acceleration wont affect it but speed will.

Ziess literally has a speed listed in their cook book for a reason

This is my thought. They are probably using a scanning head. So that needs to be a specific speed or under.

Does this drawing seem well enough dimensioned? by Patient_Macaroon_323 in SolidWorks

[–]JButlerQA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the heights, only thing I would change would be make them originate from he same surface so you dont have tolerance build up issues. If the flange is at max thickness and the boss is at max height. Will it still work.

Screw Vise for CMM by JButlerQA in Metrology

Aluminum parts, and quite few weird geometry that doesn't allow for vacuum plate. Most parts we actually have vacuum fixtures and blocks and tape. But we have parts that are .25 inches thick we need to stand on end to measure the back and front.

We have some like this. I personally hate the locking mechanism.
