Abstract

Considering the incessantly increasing requirements to the quality of products and processes it is necessary to improve a quality-orientated management in all departments of any types of companies and the advantageous application of manufacturing measurement equipment.

In addition to diverse technical requirements are also to consider the requirements of national, international and company-specific norms. The companies must not only fulfill the requirements of the quality, but also the requirements of safety, environment and economy.

As follows some aspects of the manufacturing measurement technology and quality management and their integration into a manufacturing process will be introduced.

Starting with manufacturing geometrical conditions and statements at drawings (nominal state and geometrical limits) the use of measurement equipment and gages to the evaluation of geometric elements will be described. Basic knowledge to measuring standards, uncertainties as well as calibration and measuring instrument inspection will mediates. Based on physical principles equipment and methods for the registration of measurement values, form- and position deviations and surface characteristics will introduce.
