2) Workpieces whose critical Ioeat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
elements have not been identified and qualified<br />
to a compatible capability level will<br />
cause <strong>the</strong> statisticalevaluation to fail. Bore<br />
geom.etry variation impact lead, <strong>in</strong>volute,<br />
and radial runout error.<br />
3) Little bore geometry error means less<br />
lead, <strong>in</strong>volate, and radial ranout variation.<br />
4) Little axial face runout error means less<br />
lead, <strong>in</strong>volute. and radial ranout error. Fig.<br />
S iljustrates <strong>the</strong> effect o,f face wobble <strong>in</strong><br />
determ<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g lead variation.<br />
5) Greater bore geometry error means less<br />
contact between <strong>the</strong> mach<strong>in</strong>e workhold<strong>in</strong>g<br />
fixtur,e and <strong>the</strong> actual bore of <strong>the</strong> gear ..<br />
6) Less contact berweea mach<strong>in</strong>e workhold<strong>in</strong>g<br />
and <strong>the</strong> actual. bore of gear means greater<br />
lead, <strong>in</strong>volute, and radiel runout variation.<br />
7) Less random variation of number and magnitude<br />
of bare geemetry errors from part to part<br />
and throughout a given sample of parts means<br />
lead, <strong>in</strong>volute, and radi~ runout variation shall<br />
be :<strong>in</strong>."statistical control."<br />
8) A greater random variation of number<br />
and magnitude o[l:>o·]',etI,eometry errors from<br />
part to part and throughout a. given sample<br />
~f parts .. means lead, <strong>in</strong>volute, and radial<br />
runout variation shall be less "staristicalty<br />
capable."<br />
For <strong>in</strong>spection workpiece/workhol.d<strong>in</strong>g<br />
repeatabijity <strong>the</strong> e <strong>in</strong>herent variable can<br />
be implied from <strong>the</strong> foUow<strong>in</strong>g statements:<br />
1) At best, <strong>in</strong>spection workhold<strong>in</strong>g "approximates"<br />
<strong>the</strong> mach<strong>in</strong>e workhold<strong>in</strong>g axis<br />
of rotation,<br />
2), There is always a difference between mach<strong>in</strong>e<br />
work:hoId<strong>in</strong>gand<br />
<strong>in</strong>spection workhold<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
which means that me axis of workpiece<br />
rotation<br />
and <strong>the</strong> axis of <strong>in</strong> pection rotation cannot<br />
be identical.<br />
3) Greater random variation of number and<br />
magnitude of bore geometry errors f:rom<br />
part 'to part and threughout a given sample<br />
of parts meansgreater difference between<br />
ma~h<strong>in</strong>e workholdmg and <strong>in</strong>spection<br />
workhold<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
which means lead, <strong>in</strong>volllte, and<br />
radial runout variation will be less "stati.sti·<br />
cally capable. ".<br />
4) Inspection mach<strong>in</strong>e software, designed<br />
1.0 draw <strong>the</strong> average trace of leads on feur<br />
teeth 90° apart and u <strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> sum-of-leastquares<br />
method, can show random mead<br />
