After undergoing the programme, the participants will be able to -

• Learn operation of CNC CMM for dimensional measurements through hands-on training
• Perform Part alignment and Probe calibration in CMM
• Understand the various GD&T parameters and interpret them as given in Drawing
• Inspect GD&T parameters in CMM and to generate part inspection reports
• Learn best measuring practices as well as Do's and Don'ts while using CMMs

This course will benefit Managers, Engineers & Supervisory personnel responsible for obtaining the best output from Co-ordinate Measuring Machines. Practicing engineers in quality and production functions from Machine Tool, Automobile, Tool room, General engineering and other capital goods manufacturing industries will immensely benefit from the contents. It will be specifically useful for Existing CMM engineers who may have faced significant problems in day to day applications And also for New CMM engineers who may have lot of doubts / grey areas on CMM applications and right ways of using CMM.

Pre-requisite: Participants should have basic knowledge of Engineering drawing and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance (GD & T).

This programme will be conducted by Mr. Ravikumar and Mr. Preetham B. M.
