Assignment #1
1. Assume you are the in-charge of production where you have to make a quick
angle measurement using a sinebar of 150mm size (distance the centers of the
cylinders). When you dialed the indicator for zero reading, the height of the gage
blocks was found to be 10mm. What is the angle measured?
2. Assume you are in-charge of the production development for a drilling process to
produce the holes of 20+0.25/-0.05 mm diameter. For process development, you
have taken the average diameter as the nominal value. If the following data are
the measured values after drilling, then
a) find UCLx, LCLx, USL, LSL,UCLR, LCLR, grand mean, grand R, Cp, D
and Cpk.
b) Plot the variation of sample mean along with UCLx, LCLx, USL, LSL,
process nominal and grand mean.
c) Plot the variation of sample R along with UCLR, LCLR and grand R
d) Comment about the process whether it is in control or not.

3. The hole-basis system is used to specify the fit between a hole and a shaft of a basic
size of 20 mm. The fit of the hole and shaft tolerances are chosen as H7 and u6,
respectively. Based on ANSI B4.2-1978, the corresponding numerical values of these
tolerance positions are given in the table below (All dimensions are in millimeters):
Basic Size

Hole (H7)
+0.021
-0.000

Shaft (u6)
+0.054
+0.041

a) For any shaft or hole coming out of the production line, determine the possible
maximum and minimum shaft and hole diameters.
b) Determine the maximum and minimum clearance or interference between the hole and
shaft.
c) If the attribute inspection method is selected for inspecting the hole and shaft
dimensions, select suitable inspection gauges and determine the no-go and go dimensions
of the gauges.
