CMM Operator Training

LaserJay
How do you train your operators? Any advise is welcome. Don't be a turd.

We have been intermittently slow at work so I have been building basically a curriculum to train new operators (we are expecting to hire people at the beginning of the year).

My "Curriculum" is basically just notes on how to run the CMM, but with some pictures and a few step by step guides. I have used one of my hand mic guys as a path finder/Guiney pig and it seems like every time I get done with a training section there are so many things that I have left out that he immediately stumbles over.

Idk I am pretty good at explaining things in person but putting them down on paper is a bit harder.

  • All my programs operate the same way: 1) Execute Program 2) Setup Instructions 3) Form to fill out 4) Program runs 5) Report

    The basics are needed: Where's the PC-DMIS icon, how to open a file, how to know which program to run, cleaning the part before running, importance of fixturing the part correctly, how to read the report, etc.

    I have a very standard procedure as well and I even build all my setups in the CAD assembly so the operator has a graphical representation of the setup.

    Yeah but how do you calibrate a probe? How do you know what probes are on the machine or in the probe rack? How do you build a probe and add it to the probe rack information?
    When dimension 19 has 4 holes and one of them fail on the true position how do you tell the machinist which hole is failing and in what direction?

    This is what I am trying to cover. Basic notes so that I don't get phone calls while I am on vacation.
