Measurement Tools 3 Learning System – 96-MES3

Request Information

Amatrol’s 96-MES3 Measurement Tools 3 Learning System adds to the 96-MES1 Measurement Tools 1 Learning System to teach dimensioning and tolerancing. Students will learn both conventional and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). Conventional tolerancing is used for simple features such as length, width and diameter. GD&T is a symbol and notation system that is the standard in the US and most of the world. It is used to describe tolerances for more complex geometric features such as form, profile, orientation, location and run out. Dimensioning and tolerancing are important steps in quality control. Using GD&T techniques for tolerancing is common practice in industry, making it a skill that is in high demand.

The 96-MES3 includes: V-block and clamp set, machinist square, interactive CD-ROM curriculum, student curriculum for both theory and lab, and a teacher’s assessment guide. Students will learn skills such as calculating the limits of a dimension given its tolerance, determining if a hole meets position tolerance, measuring parallelism of a rectangular part, and measuring the circularity of a shaft using an indicator.

Interactive Multimedia- Amatrol’s Measurement Tools 3 Learning System includes interactive multimedia curriculum in CD-ROM format. The multimedia teaches the same topics that are covered in the written student curriculum including: geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, location tolerances, orientation tolerances and form tolerances. It is the perfect instructional tool for today’s classroom with an exciting presentation and high quality learning content. Each topic’s presentation includes extensive videos, 3D animations, interactive exercises, and colorful graphics that will motivate students and help them learn more effectively.

The multimedia software content mirrors the print-based Learning Activity Packets (LAPs). Amatrol multimedia software is skills-based and provides a complete learning experience for the student with theory presentation and hands-on exercises.

Location Tolerances- The 96-MES3 teaches students location tolerancing which specifies where a feature is located relative to a datum or fixed reference point on a drawing. The three types of location tolerances are position, concentricity and symmetry. Location tolerancing is very important for a large number of parts made in manufacturing. If the holes on a part are not drilled in the proper locations the parts to be assembled will not fit together. Students will learn how to inspect the location of geometric features which is a common skill needed today in manufacturing.

Orientation Tolerances- Amatrol’s Measurement Tools 3 Learning System covers orientation tolerancing which limits the direction or orientation of a feature in relation to other features. There are three types of orientation tolerances: parallelism, perpendicularity and angularity. Students will learn how to use a modular gauge and free-standing indicator to measure these tolerances. Machines such as car engines and air compressors rely on orientation tolerances to ensure that linking parts line up. If holes on linking parts do not line up the linkage will wear out quickly or may not fit the assembly.

Form Tolerances- Amatrol’s curriculum covers form tolerancing which specifies the shape of a part. There are four types of form tolerances: straightness, flatness, circularity, and cylindricity. Students will learn to measure the circularity, cylindricity, and straightness of a shaft using an indicator. A part’s shape will control not only its ability to fit into an assembly but also its performance if it is a part that moves in a machine such as a rotating shaft.
