    Functional Gage Design PDF

    Uploaded by

    martin
    The document discusses functional gauge design and provides examples. It was presented by Gary Griffith, an engineer with 44 years of experience, at a technical conference on April 8, 2014. The presentation covers topics such as the purpose of functional gauges to inspect for fit and function rather than precise dimensions, different gauge materials and their properties, establishing part datums, and examples of gauge designs for features such as hole patterns and boundaries.

    Alpha & Beta Risk

    Alpha Risk
    Rejection of Good Product
    Follow the
    Beta Risk <10% Rule
    Acceptance of Bad product

    Functional Gauges should be designed and built for


    minimal Alpha Risk

    Ref: Functional Gauge Designs - Griffith Training


    Premise for Functional Gauging

    It must be a geometric tolerance applied at MMC


    RFS cannot be successfully gauged

    LMC cannot be successfully gauged

    MMC applications on the part create a fixed virtual


    condition for fixed gauging

    Ref: Functional Gauge Designs - Griffith Training


    Advantages - Disadvantages

    ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

    Fast functional inspection Rejects borderline good product


    Represents the actual Must be reworked if part drawing
    interface changes
    Gauges the virtual boundary Cost prohibitive
    Easy to Use Cannot get quantifiable results
    Will not accept bad product

    Functional Gauge Materials

    Gauge Material Selection Criteria:


    The part material
    Intended use of the Gauge
    Frequency of use of the Gauge
    The environment where the Gauge will be used
    Specific Gauge features that will be used the most
    Moving versus non-moving Gauge features
    Gauge features that will, or will not, make contact with the part
    Ref: Functional Gauge Designs - Griffith Training
    Typical Gauge Materials
    (Wear Members)

    Grade A Tool Steel


    A2
    Cold Worked High Wear Resistance
    C 1.00
    Air Hardened Medium Toughness
    Cr 5.00
    Medium Machinability
    Medium Alloy Mo 1.00
    RC 57-62

    Grade D Tool Steel D2


    Cold Worked C 1.50 Very High Wear Resistance

    High Carbon Low Toughness


    Cr 12.00
    Low Machinability
    High Chromium Mo 1.00
    RC 54-61 V 1.00

    Ref: Functional Gauge Designs - Griffith Training


    Popular Gauge Materials
    (Gage Bodies)

    17-4PH Stainless Steel


    - Precipitation Hardened

    High Strength

    Corrosion Resistant

    Medium Machinability

    Ref: Functional Gauge Designs - Griffith Training


    Popular Gauge Materials
    (Gage Bodies)

    Plow Steel (1045-1055):


    High Carbon
    Fine Grain
    High Wear Resistance
    RC ~ 16 - 22
    High Toughness
    Oil or Water Quench
    Medium Machinability

    Ref: Functional Gauge Designs - Griffith Training


    Gauge Makers Tolerance
    and Wear Allowance

    Functional Gauges are supposed to reject borderline good


    product
    If too much of the part tolerance is consumed, they will reject too
    many good products
    10% or less stackup is the standard rule (e.g. old Mil-Std-120)
    The complexity and cost of the Gauge depends largely on part
    tolerance and machinability rating.
    Fixed Gauges are always plus against the part
    Functional Gauges cannot be designed to accept bad product

    Ref: Functional Gauge Designs - Griffith Training


    Gauge Materials and Wear Areas

    Gauge bodies can often be made from mild tool


    steel, but wear features should be better

    Gauge Pins:
    Grade D2
    Gauge Body:
    Plow Steel
    Gauge Datum
    Sleeve:
    Grade D2

    Gauge Tolerances Stackup

    Gauges Must Establish Applicable
    Part Datums

    Ref: Functional Gauge Designs - Griffith Training


    Fixed Versus Slip-fit Pins Slip-Fit Pin Design

    Slip-Fit Pins
    Often used when datums must be mounted
    first
    Offer the flexibility of identifying specific
    features that are out-of-tolerance
    Fixed Pin Design
    Fixed pin designs
    Less expensive, but
    Problems in locating certain datums
    Problems is locating specific features
