MG2010 Modern Industrial Metrology 6.0 credits

Administer About course

The aim of this course is to build knowledge in the field of measurement of physical objects. To fulfill this goal methods and algorithms will be taught for the purpose of solving different measurement tasks in the manufacturing industry. Understanding of necessary statistical analysis methods to be used for estimation of uncertainty, repeatability and reproducibility of measurements is an example of an important goal. Using and handling data from coordinate measurement machines (CMMs) also tools and algorithms for precise data handling in the image processing field will be learned.  Students will learn how to extract information from images that can be used for estimating dimensions of objects and also learn how to estimate errors in that process. Besides using standards for calibration of metrology tools also self-calibration methods will be taught as a way to separate errors sources in measurements in one and two dimensions.

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

Students admitted to Engineering programmes (five-year) or Master's programmes (two-year) that has completed one of the courses MG1000, MG1016, MG1026 or MG2104 or have equivalent prior knowledge in manufacturing technology.

Literature

You can find information about course literature either in the course memo for the course offering or in the course room in Canvas.

Examination and completion

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • LABA - Laboratory work, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • PROA - Project work, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Other requirements for final grade
