Losing Accuracy, One Micron At A Time
Most gages on the shop floor provide a specified level of accuracy in conditions for which they were designed. But in the production environment, where tight tolerances are a way of life, it’s critical to think about gaging requirements before putting instruments out there and possibly having them not meet expectations.
In short, if you’re trying to measure to microns, every micron counts. Thus, it is very important to ensure that proper thought is given to the gaging process. Ask yourself, “Where may I lose a micron here or there that I should be accounting for, and how do I prevent that from happening?”
When starting on the path of improved gaging performance, you’ll see how quickly you can pick up some microns, but also find that as you increase performance, the microns get harder to find.
