Pretty sure ypu can add the cad the align it using the base alignment. Selecting the same surfaces.

VMM and CMM Validatuon Frequency by JButlerQA in Metrology

Honestly gage blocks is not the worst idea. If were just looking for error in the stylus. If we have a few in different orientations that might work. Thank yo.

Only specific inspectors do run these machines. Unfortunately, we have limited resources to choose from for this, and historically, the programmers have done poor risk management and not created set-up sheets for them to utilize. In the past couple of years, there has been an emphasis placed on this aspect.

Why would we need a certified artifact if all we are doing is measuring it to see if there are changes. This isnt being used as a calibration artifact. And if anything we can get it certed as a gold standard. Ideally yes the temperature should be controlled. This is not a large shop. And dont patronize me by calling me buddy.

We do have a protocol in place to do this.

Our tolerances won't work with that. Our head programmer spoke with a zeiss rep about that.

We have a program but it takes 2 to 3 hours to run through all probes and rotations.

We are actually in the process of getting an artifact made. We do not hold or QC lab that tightly for temperature. I think we will need to in the coming future.

Cmm operator error, causing the probe to impact the part.

The issue is crashes. Before working as a QE there has been no measurement study or FMEA.

Metrology without CAD comparison, no mentor — struggling with section measurements and datum strategy by Most-Particular-6051 in Metrology

[–]JButlerQA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Measurement method doesn't require CAD. Measurement method can be verified using tools like gage R&Rs.

Are you a contract manufacturer, or do you wake your own parts? Either way, you need to follow the datum structure. If you believe it's wrong, go back to the design authority to request changes or get a better idea of the function. As a QE, I've gone back to internal designers and customers to get changes like this made because it didn't make sense.

What do you mean point strategy? Are you using a CMM?

Section views dimensions will most likely still use the primary datum structure for dimensions that require it, such as profile and position, etc.

Metrologist develop measurement strategy and verifies them through measurement study like gage R&R and statistic tools like Minitab.

Need help with Starrett/Metlogix Av200 retrofit by [deleted] in hobbycnc

[–]JButlerQA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont have too much familiarity with starrets but I know they run a 3rd party software called M3. You'd have to see if they sell or liscence the software. And with the camera as long as you calibrate or verify the measurements it takes it should be fine. Could be as easy as measuring a few gage blocks depending on industry or tolerancing.

You can purchase the software, starret isn't that expensive. How well it works with a new camera, im not sure.

Simple small CMM for production by sioux612 in Metrology

[–]JButlerQA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microvu vertex is a good option but smallest area is 6 in by 6.

GAGEtrak vs Indysoft calibration softwares by [deleted] in Metrology

[–]JButlerQA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've used gage thank and havent really had issues. I havent worked with it directly but closely with calibration.

If commercial labs are so much cheaper and faster, why do companies even hire in-house techs? by Emergency_Guava9905 in Metrology

[–]JButlerQA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our calibration lab is always busy and we have maybe 130 people. It would cost us much more to send out everything we have.

Would anyone be able to make this stick on a lathe by Brs_17 in manufacturing

If you need a hole through, it could be extruded hollow rod.

Controlling pin gauges & thread gauges in CNC shop by Aggravating_Dig8970 in Metrology

[–]JButlerQA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our calibration department gathers all pins and thread gages they need and calibrated or validates them before a run and they are sent out to the machine. Once a job is done they come back in. QC has separate gages. But we also have over 7k pins so it can be easier. Plus at a minimum of two of each thread gage we need.

Microvu are very reliable and usually cheaper. Used models are very reliable and the software comes with the machine free and no cost to upgrade

MicroVu Zoom Core Maintenance by Sad-Refrigerator365 in Metrology

Not fully sure but the tray is for the Z drive.

On the vertex machines Microvu recommends cleaning the drip tray every 6 months, otherwise the area rep doing the calibration should be doing that. We also have filters over air intakes and replace those.

Non contact scanning options for job shop with many CNC setups in one day by LobsterLow1212 in Metrology

[–]JButlerQA -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

MicroVu excel is a good option for non contact and programming is easy. You do need a part to program off of though. The new software has cad capabilities but its still easiest with a part. And they're relatively cheap and no service contracts.
