As smart factories have grown to embrace more advanced technologies such as AI, machine learning, and smart sensors, they’ve also evolved to include more developed forms of metrology.
Ensuring Data Integrity
Greetings my fellow compatriots invested in quality assurance. This topic goes straight to the crux of any quality enriching process. No, we are not talking about Measurement Uncertainty Analysis (MU), Gage R&R, or Cpk. Before any of those methods come into play, the primary driver for any quality process is ensuring core data integrity. Without ensuring data integrity, everything else is an exercise in futility.
Flatness – Surface vs. Feature of Size
Surface flatness is the type of flatness that most people are familiar with. On a drawing, the flatness callout can point straight to the surface with a leader arrow or be extended out from the surface and away from the feature of size.
