WORK INSTRUCTION FOR RECEIVING GAUGE MANUFACTURING DATE : 18.08.2018
REV NO. : 00
PURPOSE :
The purpose of this document is to provide the guidelines and points to be taken care
During the Manufacture of Receiving Gauge
SCOPE :
This instruction sheet is applicable for all the R eceiving gauge used in the company.
RESPONSIBILITY :
Development Head-For Manufacturing the New R.Gauge & All individual customer custodian of production
department & Quality Department is overall responsible
1) Gauge 3D model should be developed from part 3D model and 2D prints of gauge design should be generated.
Gauge tolerances should be 10% of part tolerance (dowel pin holes, block locations, end points and bracket locations)
3) Zero point end should be fix and locked at mean position & variation on overall length shall be checked at the other
end .
5) End checking pin length should be 2D upto Tube diameter 10 mm. It should be 1.5D upto 16 mm & 1.25 D upto
25.4 mm & 1D Upto 35 mm or covering max. straight length ( Straight Length in Bend Tube -5 mm) whichever is
less.This method can be overruled in case customer specification is mentioned in drawing
8) Other end (last cordinate) of part checking pin should cover Min./ Max. tolerance, (75% of full tol.) with go / notgo
locking pin system. Or Red/green/red marking (groves) for min -max position.
9) 75% Tolerances to be used in Intermediate blocks for GD&T control in final inspecion gauge and to be reduced for
intial process.
9a) Straight length of the block should be maximum available limit Example if straight length between two bend is
100mm then guiding block should be 90mm.
10) All sliding parts incl bush , pin , etc shall be hardened & grounded to have a better wear resistance .
10A) All pin sliding diameter should be standardized it should be(dia 12mm,14mm,18mm etc.) as per suitability.
11) Z axis controls shall be provided thru a sliding pin or fork arrangement .
11 a) Brackets if any should be fixed at mean wherever applicable
12) The receiving gauge while use shall be made user friendly & if required shall be supported with a mounting plate
arrangement so that the inspection ease is there .
13) All receiving gauge inspection pictorial WI will be developed to ensure right inspection method is used by
inspectors . The datumn should be locked 1st then the inspection should be done.
14) Final receiver gauge will not be used for any re-work in profile .
15) Dowell holes must be esscentric during gauge manufacturing so that block can not be assembled in case of
servicing or inspection.
