I hope this is in the right forum, if not, i apologize.
Having issues in our Final QC area. We have gone through 7 pairs of calipers in one years time in this area. Everytime it seems to be "grinding" and "squeeking" when opening and closing the calipers.
I just put a new pair down there 2 weeks ago, and already this is happening.
I do not have any backed reasoning, only my opinions. I feel the rate of inspection is to high for calipers to handle on repeated use. I have tried to train and "slow" the inspection process some, but it's hard to get operators to slow down when there supervisors are telling them to hurry and get the lot out.
We have been through SPI, Mitutoyo, Starrett and Fowler. We get the same results on all, but only in this area. No other area has similar problems.
Clean environment as well.
Does anyone have some suggestions on where to turn as far as testing, training or anything else I could use at this point??
