› 2 Measuring Equipment Comparison

Fellow Professionals,

I am trying to compare two measuring equipment, and I would like to confirm that the method I am using is the most appropriate.

The Facts;
1- What is being measured is the width of a line
2- The line is a Au plated circuit printed on a clear material
3- The measuring equipment is an optical inspection system that scans the edge of each side of the line and provides the width
4- The measuring system acts with almost no human interaction.
5- Lights, magnification, and position of the parts in the equipment are the same as both systems work with the same software

The test method;
1- 20 pieces with the same feature were selected.
3- All pieces were fabricated at the same time & under similar conditions
4- One feature is measured within each piece once.
5- All 20 pieces are measured in each equipment for a total of N=20
6- A pared t test is used to verify whether u1 = m2
7- The variance will be tested also to be the same between both pieces of equipment

Please let me know whether you would consider a different method should be applied.

Thank you,
Fer

A good document to use when

A good document to use when evaluating measurement systems is the MSA (measurement systems analysis) guideline from the AIAG (automotive industry action group). This is a reference document that can be used to demonstrate compliance to the ISO/TS 16949 quality standard which requires that measurement system uncertainty is known and controlled.

There are many elements of measurement uncertainty. The ones addressed by MSA are repeatability, reproducibility, linearity, bias, and stability. Depending on the methods used (i.e. ANOVA), you will be able to also identify interactions such as part / gauge, operator / gauge, part/operator.

Good luck!
