QUAL 1101 - Layout Methods & CMM Introduction

(formerly QUAL-1100) This course prepares the student for 100% part inspection to the blueprint specifications (as in PPAP). Students first learn the proper methods to measure parts on a surface plate using height gages, angle plates, and indicators, as well as the Optical Comparator and other necessary measurement tools. The course stresses the tool selection, sequence, and documentation to develop the independent work skills needed in a manufacturing job. The course covers Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) configuration, probing systems, part coordinate system, alignments, tolerancing, editing, and report generation and interpretation. Students then will measure the same parts using a joystick Coordinate Measure Machine (CMM). This course duplicates job requirements and methods for a surface plate layout inspector or entry level CMM operator. (4 contact hrs) South Campus.
