Good day to you all
Here’s my problem: We currently use 2 CMM’s on site to measure aerospace fan blades. We then ship the blade to our customer at another location; they are also part of our company. As the foot of the blade is a critical area to them they re-measure the blade on their CMM. Our results are no were near theirs, so we have a correlation issue. None of the CMM’s in question have had an MSA conducted. What’s the best way to proceed? Also this is a new product with its own unique challenges.
Conducting an MSA on 3 CMM’s, taking 10 blades measured twice by two operators for each machine would be a huge resource issue, and for two of the machines we would be able to have the machine for that length of time.
Another factor to throw into the pot is the way the blade is located on the CMM, our site and our sister site (customer) are different.
One person has suggested that we take an artefact and each site measures it a couple of times per operator and then analyse the data using nested Anova. Would this show repeatability and reproducibility to a statistically significant level to allow us to have confidence in the results?
Really, what would be the best way to proceed without doing a full-blown MSA on every CMM, but giving us the confidence in the results of the machine?
Thanks for your assistance.
