Dirty parts

Hello colleagues! Hope you have a great weekend and the sun is not burning around like in our region Sunglasses
In the light of recent events at our enterprise, it became interesting to me. Do you face the fact that poorly cleaned or completely contaminated parts are brought to you for measurements from production? Often, a small piece of metal adhering to a part can significantly affect the measurement results. In addition, part that is poorly cleaned from oil contaminates the probe, and microparticles adhere to it during measurement. One way or another, with a large number of measurements, I have no desire to check and clean every detail. We agreed with the production that they will do it, but last time we had to redo a large number of measurements due to poorly cleaned parts.
How does it work in your company?

  • At my last job, if the part wasn't clean enough, we sent it back to the shop to be cleaned. My record was five times. The biggest problem I had was that the other CMM operators didn't care and ran the parts anyways which always caused headaches cause they were reporting back bad information to the shop. My new job is much better about cleaning parts. The most I have to do here is run gage pins through the holes.
