Target Audience
Inspection, Engineering and Production personnel and those who would like to become more proficient in and diversify their CMM programming skills.
Prerequisites
- Knowledge of Print Reading of drawings with tolerances
- Knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing
- Knowledge of Basic Dimensional Measurement Tools
- Basic knowledge of PC and Windows
If you lack experience in these areas and you do not pass the pre-skills test, we offer various courses that will give you the knowledge necessary for taking this CMM training. We offer standard public and on-site courses, as well as lower-priced online and self-directed learning courses.
Course Objectives
In this training, participants will expand on their existing knowledge with tips and tricks as well as seldom-used functions to improve performance with respect to productivity (more data in less time) and quality (better data). Special alignments, auto features, constructed features and patterns are all areas of focus. CAD model manipulation and applied GD&T round out the planned topics, always adjusting the training to the skill and experience levels of the participants.
Our instructors are well-versed in PC-DMIS, Calypso, MCOSMOS, CMM Manager, Measure X, and MeasureMind. Whether you’ve got a FARO, Zeiss, Brown & Sharpe, Mitutoyo or OGP application, QC Training Services, Inc. can improve your CMM performance.
