Gages in OnRamp

Gages must be certified to a certain standard, based on your company certifications and calibrated to that standard master gage.

Within the OnRamp Quality Management module, you can find Gage Management. Here, you can track your gages, including information on which gages have been certified by what organization, when the gages require inspection, and a history of gage inspections to ensure that your shop is using the correct measurements.

Gage Management Workflow

Before setting up gages, ensure that the engineering and employee data has been set up. Also, you can enter data on the following screens:

You may also want to enter data on the following screens:

• On the header:

  • The Gage Location field is populated by entries added on Gage Location Manager [S1732].

  • The Status field is populated by entries added on Local Codes [S1502]: Code Group: GAGE_STATUS.

  • The Gage User is populated by entries added on Employee Master [S1722].

• On the General tab:

  • The Category field is populated by entries added on Local Codes [S1502]: Code Group: GAGE_STYLE.

  • The Sub-Category field is populated by entries added on Local Codes [S1502]: Code Group: GAGE_USE.

  • The System of Measure field is populated by entries added on Local Codes [S1502]: Code Group: GAGE_SYST.

  • The Scale field is populated by entries added on Local Codes [S1502]: Code Group: GAGE_SCALE.

  • The Unit of Measure field is populated by entries added on Local Codes [S1502]: Code Group: GAGE_UM.

  • The CMM Control field is populated by entries added on CNC Control Master [S2513].

• On the Engineering tab:

  • The Supplier field is populated by entries added on Vendor Master [S1094].

• On the Calibration tab:

  • The Calibration Procedure field is populated by entries added on Calibration Procedures [S1700].

  • The Inspector field is populated by entries added on Local Codes [S1502]: Code Group: INSPECTOR.

Gage Calibration

Once your setup is complete, you are ready to perform the gage calibration. Gage calibration is a two-step process:

1. First, you assign the gage inspector.
2. Then, the inspector conducts their inspection, updating the Excel form and calibrating the gage.

For gage calibrations that were performed externally, use Gage Activity [S1701] to manually upload the gage activity file and update the calibration status.

Gage Management Reporting

The Gage Management module includes a suite of reports that allow you to quickly review your gage location, current user, style, and status.

The following screens can also be used to review historical gage calibration information:

• Gage Cal Results [S1721] - used to review the results of gage calibration

• Calibration History [S1770] - used to review the history of gage calibration for a date range

• Gage Inquiry [S1763] - used to review and edit calibration information
