Course content

Measuring instruments, coordinate measuring machines, laser trackers, surface measurements, measurement uncertainty, geometrical tolerances in design and inspection, tolerance analysis, statistical process control, filters used in measurements, machine tool testing.

Learning outcome

Knowledge:

The students should acquire knowledge about measuring instruments and manufacturing metrology methods. One should know the principles of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing and understand the requirements to the measuring methods. The student should understand the requirements to metrology equipment and competence in a modern manufacturing company. The student should understand the relation between geometrical product specification, manufacturing process, and measurement method.

Skills:

The students should know how to use simple measuring instruments and how to conduct measurements by use of a coordinate measuring machine. The students should know how to estimate measurement uncertainty by use of basic statistical methods and Monte Carlo simulations. The students should know how to calculate stacked tolerances.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, assignments, and laboratory exercises. The lectures and exercises are in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course. Examination paper will be given only in English if the lectures are in English, but the student is free to answer in English or Norwegian.
