MCH 129 - Machine Quality Control and Precision Measurements

Credit(s): 3

Students will develop the knowledge and skills to prepare them to analyze and evaluate the processes and methodology required in an industrial production environment to determine if quality control standards are being met. Topics include: use of non-precision measuring tools, use of precision measuring tools, use of comparison gauges, and analysis of measurements in a CNC environment. (Fall Semester)

Course Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to

Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of Precision Measurement and Quality Control Procedures.
Accurately measure and record the outside diameters of a test piece with the Micrometer.
Accurately measure and record the outside diameters of a test piece with the Veneer Caliper.
Accurately measure and record the depth dimensions of a test piece with the Depth Micrometer.
Accurately index a part on the CNC Lathe and indicate the table and a vise on a CNC Milling Machine within .0001” with dial indicator.
Accurately index a part on the lathe and indicate the table and a vise on a CNC Milling Machine within .001” with the control console.
Define quality and the precision requirements associated with a CNC produced part.
Demonstrate quality assurance and quality management techniques.
Describe a reporting and responsibility structure for production facility quality control.
Accurately measure the inside diameter of a test piece using inside micrometers and telescoping gages. Accurately measure and identify threads, national coarse, national fine, acme and metric.
Be able to convert metric measurements to inch , and inch to metric.
