Note, it's extremely important that air is CLEAN and DRY, as particles and moisture can destroy air bearings. Power should also have additional protection from surges, faults, and low voltage. If the lab contains any sophisticated electronics (SEM, XRF, etc.), dirty power can kill those tools.
I am kinda a Metrology noob but I just got an OGP 302 this last year and it's been a blast measuring parts with it. I know temp flux is the enemy but dust has been harder to control in my tiny shop
as you might know what you are talking about , i have a UNS thread to do, they give me a major/pitch/minor but not a route rad the only way to get it all in tolerance is making the route rad bigger but they keep saying they want a standard UN route rad and as its a smaller minor it is always out of tolerance, we have made these parts for 10 years but the new laser measuring machines they have have picked the problem up lol
@@markhorner4982 i thought the only way to change the root radius was to get a customer ground thread mill with what ever radius you need? I also have never been asked to measure root radius on my CMM
I suppose if you wanted to you could design the part to be used at 40 C, manufacture it at 40 C, and measure it at 40 C. But you would just need to make sure everyone involved in the process knows that 40 C is the temperature to be adhered to. I imagine whoever has to do the work in the 40 C environment wouldn't be very excited about the heat, though!
Engineering the part around its thermal coefficient is much easier than manufacturing at 40C (104F). Imagine trying to keep that part's tempature at that tempature during the manufacturing process. Not to mention your measurement standards or equipment at that tempature. Would you ever want to work in a shop all day that is climate controlled to hold tempature at 40C?

nice sharing
I'll be building a lab for my new CMM next week. Thanks for the tips!
that's exciting! what machine are you getting?
Thank you for this video, it was very informative.

If the part is going to be used in 40C plus temperatures. Why are we testing it at 20C?
That’s up to the engineer to design the part to expand
20C is the standard

good video
I don't know of any AC that can give you 20C inside when the outside is 43C.
20C will also require me to wear a jacket in the lab.
My coworkers and I used to joke that down jackets were our unofficial uniform when working in the lab! 😂
Can we have a closed room fully automated metrology lab with 20C temp. And humans can sit outside in comfortable 26C temp.
