Manufacturing Metrology
About
About the course
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
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 relations between geometrical product specifications, manufacturing processes, and inspection methods.
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.

Further on evaluation
Mandatory work from previous semester can be accepted by the Department by re-take of an examination if there have not been any significant changes later.
If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral. All parts of the assessment must be passed in order to get a passing grade for the whole course. Re-sit exam in May/June and August, students can only attend one of the re-sit exams.
