ENI Labs, a member of the Applied Technical Services Family of Companies, verifies the accuracy of gages using gage repeatability and reproducibility. Variation is a certainty in manufacturing processes, but Gage R&R is an effective way for engineers to assess variance and establish a tolerable range of variation that preserves product quality and functionality.
What is Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility?
Gage repeatability and reproducibility or Gage R&R, is a statistical method that measures the variation in measurements yielded by a measurement system or device. The methodology is important for establishing uniformity in the outcome of manufacturing processes. During the process, engineers take a series of measurements to verify that the measurements remain consistent over a set duration when obtained under identical operating conditions. Gage R&R is useful for understanding the following:
- The difference between measurement system variation and process variation
- Operator-influenced variation in measurements
- A measurement system’s ability to distinguish between different parts
Our Gage R&R Services
Our highly trained engineers use our state-of-the-art facilities to carry Gage R&R services that help our clients strengthen their manufacturing processes. Our statistical analysis and data collection services enable our clients to make informed decisions about their processes, helping them make quality-boosting and cost-saving adjustments.
The Importance of Gage R&R
Gage R&R provides manufacturers and engineers with the confidence needed to ensure their measurements are trustworthy and thus acceptable to use in important processes. Gage R&R has many practical uses, such as the following:
- Ensuring that machined components fit together properly
- Maintaining consistent paint thickness for automotive vehicles and aircraft
- Ensuring that pharmaceuticals have a consistent chemical composition
