Benefits of Attending These Courses

Reduced costs of inspection or calibration

Less time spent on in-house calibration or inspection

Better understanding of inspection capability

Appreciation of the sources of errors in a measurement

Helps to eliminate passing parts that later fail

Reduces number of failed components that really pass

Improved customer satisfaction

At Micron we offer a number of training courses. They can be set up to suit single individuals or numbers from, larger organizations or groups of companies.

Some of the typical courses offered are:

Gauge Management for QS9000

An appreciation of the gauge control requirements under QS9000, with an overview and examples of sources of errors in measurements, including: Repeatability, Reproducibility, Stability, Linearity, Uncertainty of Measurement and Calibration.

Appreciation of Calibration Systems

The what, when and where of calibration, covering the fundamentals such as traceability, certification (including UKAS
/ UKAS accreditation), records, frequency of calibration and standards.


Practical Calibration: Common Gauges

A hands on approach to simple calibration on instruments such as micrometers, vernier gauges, height gauges & plain plugs

Practical Calibration: Advanced

A two to five-day course covering more advanced techniques, which may include thread gauges, surface tables and plates, projectors, torque wrenches, pressure gauges and electrical instruments.

Meaningful Measurement of Component Features

A one or two-day course which considers inspection measurements from the view-point of the feature rather than the measuring equipment. This approach stimulates delegates to consider what is to be measured and the suitability of equipment, reducing the risk of wrongly passing or failing components.

Geometric Tolerancing to BS308 / ANSI Y14.5M

A guide to understanding the symbols and terminology. More advanced courses can include measurement techniques and detailed discussion of drawings.

Who Should Attend

Anyone involved in the inspection or calibration process.

Experience Required

There is no minimum qualification, however, delegates should be familiar with common inspection equipment.

Notes

Basic guide notes are included. However, delegates may wish to make their own additional notes.

Certificate

Each delegate is awarded an attendance certificate upon completion of the course.

Course Format

These are bespoke courses, generally for six to twelve delegates, with exercises and group discussion. Most courses are one day long, with "Brief" half-day introductions offered as an alternative for those on a tight budget or time-scale. The advanced courses are best run over two to five days.

Location

To gain maximum benefit from this course, we advise running it at your site. This minimises travelling, reduces costs and also removes the need to transport equipment and components. Using your drawings, equipment and components also enhances the benefit of the training.

Course Cost & Booking

The final cost depends on the complexity, length and location. Please phone our sales department for more details:
