A Contribution to the Capability of the Measuring Device Used in the Automotive

Abstract

The automotive sector places high demands on the quality of products and services. The paper focuses on evaluating of the measuring equipment capability, which is used to verify the accuracy of parts for the automotive industry. It is mainly about verifying the suitability and ensuring relevant values for the subsequent verification of the production process capability. The requirements for the production accuracy and associated competence are required by the ISO 9000 series of standards, especially IATF 16949 for the automotive industry. The analysis was focused on the optical comparator Keyence IM-7000, which is used for control and rapid analysis with the minimization of the human factor. The capability of the measuring equipment was verified according to the methodology from Ford and Bosh.
