MSA on Pin Gages
Hi Everyone,
TS 7.6.1 says "Statistical studies shall be conducted to analyse the variation present in the results of each type of measuring and test equipment system. This requirement shall apply to measurement systems referenced in the control plan".
We reference go/no-go pin gages on our control plans but currently do not perform any kind of MSA activity on these types of gages aside from the occaisonal attribute study during PPAP. We are TS certified but our auditors have not directly questioned us on pin gages because most of our control plans previously referenced micrometers. In an effort to improve the relationship between our control plans, inspection sheets, and actual inspection techniques, we've made the switch to referencing pin gages on our control plans. I'm curious as to how others have handled pin gages in regards to MSA and what questions auditors have posed regarding pin gages and MSA.
Any guidance, advice, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe.
