Hands-on training in Operation and Programming of CNC Co-ordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs)

Date : 14 to 16 June, 2023

Venue : IMTMA Technology Centre, Pune

INTRODUCTION

In the modern manufacturing environment, process control and quality assurance depend increasingly on the performance of Co-ordinate measuring machines. Today CMMs have replaced traditional methods of inspection with gages and fixtures thus reducing the time and manpower required in quality control operations. However, thorough understanding of concepts, measuring uncertainty, GD&T, right probing method are very crucial for getting reliable results from any CMM.

Rapid growth of CMM population all over India has subsequently generated enormous demand of Trained / Skilled engineers for successful & meaningful handling inspection challenges. This can be achieved only if the CMM engineer possesses basic engineering knowledge, Inspection skills and has a logical and analytical approach to fulfill the task.

This course will cover in detail about all the aspects a practicing CMM engineer requires to know for effective use of CMM for reliable measurement results. Hands-on training in CMM with live measurement exercises of industry components will be given more emphasis.

FOCUS AREAS		KEY TAKE AWAYS
