Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:10:29
Abstract
The course "Metrology of workpieces" deals with definition and measurement of errors in size, location, form and roughness of workpieces, with typical measuring instruments and their measurement uncertainties, including coordinate measuring machines and vision systems, QS according to ISO 9001, statistical process control, as well as with the thermal influences on geometrical measurements.
Objective
Knowledge of - basics of geometrical metrology - evaluation of size, location, form and roughness of workpieces - typical measuring instruments and their measurement uncertainties - coordinate metrology - vision systems - quality assurance system according to ISO 2001 - statistical process control - application in the manufacturing process and for the evaluation of machine tool capability
