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?

  • all depends on training & the level of people you're working with.

    ive been on both sides of the spectrum.

    my current company is amazing with FOD prevention. training is great, people really care.
    my first company was terrible. i came home looking like a coal miner every day and if you tried to tell them what FOD was they'd tell you to f*ck off in polish so they could get back to drinking the acetone


    Yeah and I guess "huge" is relative. The first machine shop I ever worked in was coal miner dirty but the place I am now is definitely not that dirty. I just have to kick parts back a lot to be rinsed off and I clean a lot of holes with Q-tips but it definitely is not as bad as what you were saying. That sounds like a nightmare!
