How to Use a Bias Study When Gage R&R Leaves Unanswered Questions

Assuming there are still questions about the suitability of a gage for a particular application after a gage repeatability and reproducibility (GR&R) study, Measurement Systems Analysis, 4th Edition (MSA-4), published by AIAG in 2010, recommends using an additional study in the calibration environment for more information on bias, linearity or stability. Each of these studies can provide information about repeatability on reference standards and other variables, in addition to information on the variable for which they are named.

 

The most popular study for that purpose is the bias study. It requires one operator, and one reference standard (or calibrated part). Typically, it uses 25 repetitions. This article will use popular software and published data to demonstrate all the uses for a bias study.

TRIGGER CODEtriggercode
What it is, why you need one and how to get one

A trigger code is a unique code number required to register your GAGEtrak license. If you don't obtain a trigger code within 30 days of installing GAGEtrak, you will receive a message from GAGEtrak saying that your trial period has expired. Obtaining a trigger code will remove this expiration date.

 

You may also require a new trigger code after reinstalling GAGEtrak because of a workstation upgrade or if GAGEtrak is moved to a new workstation. 

 

If you are using GAGEtrak 6.8, please click here for trigger code instructions.

 

If you are using GAGEtrak 7, please click here for trigger code instructions.
