The intent of this ILC/PT is to provide a means for the participant to determine the appropriateness and effectiveness of participant practices, training, and measurement uncertainty relating to testing, inspection or calibration of 3 Dimensional Fixtures or Parts.
This kit contains an Industrial Inspection and Analysis CMM Validation Artifact, Drawings (.pdf), and a CAD model (.stp). Participants will measure up to a total of 13 various features (Length x2, Parallelism x1, Angle x2, Diameter x2, Perpendicularity x2, Flatness x1, Position x1, Cylindricity x1 and Radius x1). The approximate artifact dimensions are: 5.25 in x 3.00 in x 0.75 in. The artifact material is Aluminum 6061-T6. Expected resolution is 0.000 01 in and 0.0001°. All features to be measured using a least-squares fitting algorithm (LSQ). All Dimensions are expressed in inches. Unless otherwise listed on drawings, the tolerances are: ±0.010 in ; ± 1/32 in ; ± 2° ; Datums are established using tooling points.
Participants are expected to be familiar with the care, handling, fixturing, testing, inspection or calibration of 3 Dimensional Fixtures and Parts, have appropriate lab equipment, software, environment, fixturing and appropriate measurement uncertainties for similar devices.
