Change in tolerance

We have a part whose tolerance have changed. There probably isn't a way to "update" stats with the new tolerance is there? I could show a better Cpk on my parts if I could only change this tolerance.

  • Well, it will depend on WHAT axis you are reporting. If you are reporting an "M" (3-D distance or some such) OR XYZ axis, then YES, the nominal will update, then the measured should match. HOWEVER, if you are using T, it will not do you any good since the T is a deviation from a 3-D point in space (like for a vector point) and changing the NOMINAL of the vector point and getting a new T value and having it be good will NOT make the other T values in Datapage any good. The individual axis, yes, not a 'calculated' (for lack of a better word) axis based upon a single-point nominal. Do I have you confused yet?
