This three-day course is an advanced GD&T course designed specifically for those who must operate, program, or interpret the output of Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM’s).

If you are responsible for CMM operations, this course is for you. This program is a comprehensive education in the Y14.5M standard as it pertains to CMM metrology with focus on the practical application of GD&T disciplines to CMM operation.
TARGET AUDIENCE   COURSE LENGTH AND COST
This program is designed for anyone who is responsible for operating, programming, or interpreting the results of measurements from, a Coordinate Measuring Machine. It is not a beginner course in GD&T, and it is not specific to any particular CMM software package.

WHAT’S COVERED

OBJECTIVES:

  • Review the concepts of the Y14.5M standard
  • Expand the participants’ knowledge of the concepts and the language of the Y14.5M standard as it pertains to CMM’s
  • Gain confidence in using the Y14.5M standard's concepts with the CMM
  • Recognize CMM software, hardware, and measurement philosophy strengths and weaknesses
  • Develop "work-arounds" to overcome CMM weaknesses

PROGRAM OUTLINE:

The program begins with a review of GD&T. We then continue with practical evaluation of CMM measurement philosophy and capabilities, as well as its pitfalls. The subject matter covered is (as a minimum):

  • Introduction -- Objectives, review GD&T
  • CMM operation -- concepts, philosophy, practice, and misconceptions
  • CMM software -- what is being calculated per the ASME/ANSI Y14.5M standard and what is not
  • Effects of Datum features of size
  • "Work-arounds" for the shortcomings
  • Review of actual prints (participant and instructor supplied) including actually measuring on the CMM
