Metrology Courses

Classroom Training for PC-DMIS Advanced Training - PC-DMIS GD&T - 2 days

Course summary/agenda:

The PC-DMIS Advanced GD&T course is targeted at individuals who have completed the PC-DMIS Level 1 course and wish to enhance their understanding of GD&T and how to implement that correctly in PC-DMIS. All GD&T types will be covered with practical examples throughout to aid learning. The course will provide a platform for trainees to create reports that follow the latest metrology standards, ensuring their workplace quality processes are based upon correct metrology data.

Classroom Training for PC-DMIS CAD Level 1 (Tactile DCC) - Hexagon Technical Centre - 5 days

Course summary/agenda:
The PC-DMIS Level 1 course is targeted at individuals who have little or no experience with CMMs and want to gain the knowledge to write and execute measurement routines in PC-DMIS. The course starts with the basics of CMM operation and over the week expands to a level of understanding that will enable users to write, execute and edit PC-DMIS measurement routines and create accurate metrology reports for use in the quality control process. Topics covered include - probe definition and calibration, part alignment, measured and constructed features, the generation of automated measurement routines, and reporting measurement results.

Onsite Training - QUINDOS Level 1 – Basic  - 5 days

Course summary/agenda:
The QUINDOS level 1 - The basic course is designed for first time and experienced CMM users alike in terms of basic QUINDOS knowledge. The course begins with the basics of CMMs and an introduction to the QUINDOS software and machine configuration. The week progresses with advancing tasks enabling the delegate to build programs for the measurement and evaluation of Geometric Components, whilst learning optimised methods for programming. During the week there will be opportunities to fault find allowing the delegate to competently work when they are back in their workplace. During the course, we assess each delegate to ensure common tasks will be incorporated making the learning outcome more specific to each application.
