1.4.2 Assembly

Each unit is used primarily as a single or multiple tool process/controller/monitor installed in a work station or work area. It may be wall mounted, table mounted, beam mounted, suspended overhead, pedestal mounted or used without mounting. Always choose a stable location to avoid the possibility of unit damage and/or operator injury through hitting, falling, vibration or inconvenient mounting. All cables attached to the unit sho cause injury to the operator or to passersby. Like all electrical devices, the control system emits some heat. It should therefore be positioned where air can circulate freely around the housing.

Refer to Illustration "J" of the parts manual PL12-1405 for mounting hole dimensions.

1.4.3 Location considerations

Your unit should be located to allow access to the front panel and connectors. The unit should be installed for unrestricted and comfortable viewing of the LCD screen by the operator. The LCD menu screen, key pad and connectors must be readily accessible for the setup. Dependent on the peripheral equipment purchased, the unit may be located in a remote position but should still be accessible.

Attachment of accessories and tools should also be Items to be considered are:

• Location of printer.

• Attachment of a data collection unit, if desired.

• Attachment of remote annunciators, socket nest, or remote pa

• Attachment of the unit in a network to a computer.

Linking allows automatic application changes for a programmed number of positions (rundowns). You can program up to 96 positions. Each application is run when the start switch on the tool is activated in the order specified by its position. Upon completion of the cycle, the application will then automatically change to the next position. This automatic change is available for eight groups, termed tightening groups. The corresponding tightening groups can be selected via the external inputs (0-2), or via the Run Screen. This feature can also be used for Batch Counting by entering the same application in the desired number of positions.

5.1 Understanding Statistics

Your unit provides a wide array of statistical and data reports (charts) for the control of manufacturing processes. The following provides a description of the control chart for variables and an

tline of the procedure for its use. Known as the

ou variables can be used whenever a quality characteristic can numerical value. When properly used, it can bring substantial improvement in product quality and a reduction of scrap and rework.

When we control a process, we monitor the variation of the product. During production, samples from the process are measured. By plotting the results of these measurements on the control chart, we are able to see if the process is operating in a stable manner (in a state of statistical control), or if the pattern has been disturbed by an event that drives the process out of control. In other words, the control chart tells us what the process is doing - when to take action and when to leave it alone.

Although it is a powerful tool, the few basic statistical concepts and the us

5.1.1 The Nature of Variation

Variations in measured product are always present because of random fluctuations and inconsistencies in machines, material, and operator perf alike.

When variation is random and stable, the process is in a state of st 1:page 97). The process has an identity, and its performance variation is caused by conditions that are inherent to th run out, bearing clearances, differences in material properties, accuracy of measuring equipment, and operator performance. We call this "common cause" variation.

When variation is sporadic and unstable, the process is out of st 1:page 97). The process loses its identity and is no longer predictable. The unstable pattern is caused by such events as tool breakage, tool wear, called "special cause" variation.

Statistics

5.1.2 The Normal Curve

Most processes in statistical control have a fixed pattern of variation. The mathematical curve that describes this pattern is known as the normal curve (see a) Fig. 5-2:). The normal curve is symmetrical about the average. It is high in the midd the average increases. Since the shape resembles a bell, it is sometimes referred to as a bell curve.

The normal curve is defined by two cond amount of variation from the average. We can think of these as the center and width of the bell, respectively. The center is the arithmetic average of all items produced. The width is expressed in terms of the standard deviation which is a statistical calculation for the amount of variation from the average. The standard deviation, represented by the Greek letter sigma (σ), holds a fixed relationship to the normal curve, as follows (see b) Fig. 5-2:):

• 68% of all items produced will

These two characteristics - the average and the stan statistical process control. By taking sample measurements during production, we can predict the average value and the amount of variation for all items produced.

5.1.3 The Procedure

The procedure for establishing a statistical process control program consists of three phases. The first is to obtain statistical control - a state of random and stable variation. The second is to establish process capability. A state of statistical control in itself does not assure that the process is capable of meeting the specification. The limits of variation must be equal to or less than the total specification tolerance. The third is to monitor the process throughout production using the control chart, to detect and correct conditions that upset the stable pattern of variation.

1. Select the Characteristic

Since a separate chart is required for each characteristic, pr selected requirements. A good candidate is a characteristic that is important to the function of the item. Others include those that are causing a high cost loss because of scrap or rework, and those that require evaluation by destructive testing.

2. Designate the Sample Size

It is usually desirable to keep the sample size small so that

variation within the sample is at a minimum, but not so small that statistical validity is lost. The control chart described in this document is structured for a sample size of five units. If a ufacturing or quality engineer can provide alternate fa

3. Designate the Sample Frequency

Selection of the sample frequency should be based o

economic considerations for the cost of measurements and the potential loss that may occur if samples are not taken often enough. Early in the production run, samples should be taken more frequently and then extended after satisfactory control is verified. The frequency may be expressed as a time interval or as a portion of quantities produced.

4. Assure Measurement Accuracy

Measurement accuracy is mandatory for successful st ment must be of a type suitable for the characteri

stic being evaluated, and must be calibrated and properly used. Decisions resulting from the analysis of a control chart will be no better than the measurement data.

5. Complete the Data Sheet Headings

It is important that all heading entries on the dat

sheet be completed. They include the part number and description, the operation performed, the name of the operator, the machine or equipment used, and the specification limits. The data sheet and control chart can provide evi-

gan

dence of quality for use by the Quality Assurance or

ization if the information is properly

recorded and traceable to the products manufactured.

6. Start Production

Take samples of five units (preferably consecutive un

s produced) at the designated frequency,

and record each measurement (X) on the data sheet. For each sample of five calculate the aver-

) and range (R), and plot the results on the chart (see Fig. 5-3:).
