Length: 3 days CEUs: PDHs:
Participants of this course study and apply techniques on the proper design, dimensioning, and tolerancing of GO gages, NOGO gages, Functional Gages and Fixtures per the ASME Y14.43-2011 Standard, entitled, Dimensioning and Tolerancing Principles for Gages and Fixtures. Anyone involved in the application or interpretation of dimensioning and tolerancing of products would gain a thorough understanding of these principles through the knowledge of how to gage and fixture them properly, by attending this course.
Taught by the chairman of the Y14.43 Standard, this course is a mixture of lecture, discussion and application working directly with a wide assortment of handout materials and the standard itself, which lays out the rules, guidelines and principles approved by ANSI and the Department of Defense on how to design, dimension, and tolerance gages and fixtures correctly.
Course participants should have a basic knowledge of the Y14.5 Standard in order to optimize their training experience.
Each participant will receive a copy of the ASME codebook, Y14.43 - 2011 Dimensioning and Tolerancing Principles for Gages and Fixtures.
You Will Learn
- To apply the rules, principles and practices of gage and fixture design, dimensioning and tolerancing per the Y14.43-2011 Standard
- To extend the principles contained in ASME Y14.5M-1994 and ASME Y14.5M-2009, (which are not gaging Standards) to gages and fixtures, so that they can be applied to manufacturing and inspection
- How choices made on design, dimension, and tolerance gages and fixtures determine whether good parts will be rejected and/or bad parts will be accepted
- How to correct in-house gage and fixture designs
- How to collect and analyze variables data from Coordinate Measurement Machines (and from a variety of inspection equipment)
- To put into practice the proper simulation of datum features
