Short course description
Content of the short-term learning experience
Participants in the course will learn the importance of ensuring the quality of measurements in the process and product quality assurance system as well as the basics of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing of products (GD&T). The interpretation of the requirements of international standards for quality management systems (SIST EN ISO 9001 and IATF 16949) and for the geometric product specification (SIST EN ISO 1101, SIST EN ISO 5459, SIST EN ISO 5458, ...) is supplemented by examples from metrological practise and the planning practise of production systems. Geometric principles and quantities that are important for geometric dimensioning and tolerancing are explained in detail. Selected special cases of GD&T are also explained. Finally, the importance of communication within the company between the design, work preparation and product control departments is emphasised. The lecturer has excellent expertise in the field of metrology, planning of measurement processes and the confirmation of the geometric conformity of products.
