Machine capability study (MFU) running MIMCal

In this chapter you will learn how to use MIMCal. This software module is the basic tool to run the machine capability study MFU

Chapter contents:
1. Settings for the machine capability study MFU
2. Evaluation of results
3. Display of results for distinct needles
4. Time trend for X/Y/A deviations


 

Settings for the machine capability study MFU:
top

1    -    Select "Set" - "Settings (1)" and finally "MFU by MIMCal (2)".

3    -    Select a value for sigma to define the tolerance range: 3 sigma = narrowest range, 6 sigma = broadest range of tolerance.

4    -    Tolerance value for X and Y axis

5    -    Tolerance value for angle A (in degrees)

6    -    Refresh display of tolerance settings

7    -    Confirm and save new settings

 

Run MFU measurements:
Select to start cyclic placement of the glass component. This is the core process of the MFU study. Results are written to "MIMOT_1/SYSMAP/MFUKON1.TXT".



Evaluation of results:
top

1    -    Select "MFU by MIMCal (1)" from Edit

2    -    The selection window provides a list of measurements - sorted by date and time

3    -    Confirm selection

4    -    Delete measurement results

The following analysis pane shows up:

1    -    Date and time of measurement

2    -    Machine status

3    -    Head status

4    -    Needle status

5    -    Select detailed status for needle n

The following pane opens:


top

1    -    Date and time of measurement

2    -    Number of machine

3    -    Indication of head/needle/angle for the resulting measurement values

4    -    Tolerances which have been defined in "SET"

5    -    Show previous/next angle

6    -    Print

7    -    Printer settings

8    -    Show previous/next needle

9    -    Display a timeline of results for needle measurements

10   -    Diagram of deviations in X and Y directions

Clicking (9) you will get the following time trend display:


top

1    -    Name of the measured axis

2    -    Date line of measurements

3    -    Select deviation values of the X axis

4    -    Select deviation values of the Y axis

5    -    Select deviation values of the A axis

6    -    Go to previous needle

7    -    Go to next needle
