Background

The enhanced understanding of measuring jobs and influencing parameters enables measuring technicians to reduce measuring uncertainties and thus to make measurement results more reliable and easier to compare. The minimization of costs and waste is supported.

The seminar lays and consolidates basic knowledge of production metrology for beginners and advanced metrologists. The didactic approach used in the seminar is based on the latest findings. The seminar covers the latest knowledge regarding dimensional tolerancing, programming basics, measurement process planning, and the machine and sensor technology used.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association is organizing a 4-day training on "AUKOM Certified Metrologists LEVEL 1" in association with Carl Zeiss (a certified partner of AUKOM)
