The Gauge Specification and Approval is the document that is used to define the gauge specification and confirm that it can measure the product correctly for measuring characteristic/ area/ reference requested by Kasai UK.
The document shall be used for all part specific gauges (variable and attribute).
The suppliers gauge drawing shall be in-line with the Gauge Specifications sheet(s) and include tolerances on all dimensions, feature lines etc.
The gauge specification should be based on the latest level drawing and specifications.
Minimum Content Requirements
Gauge Specification:
The supplier shall create a part gauge specification for each gauge that has been designed specifically for the part, and which will achieve Kasai UK requirements.
Drawing
The suppliers gauge drawing must be in-line with the gauge specification sheet(s) and include tolerances on all dimensions.
Bias/ Linearity/ Repeatability/ Reproducibility
The gauge must be confirmed by the supplier for Bias/ Linearity/ Repeatability/ Reproducibility and / or other methods as required and detailed on the Gauge Specification Sheet. The supporting documentation should be submitted with the Gauge Approval Sheet to Kasai UK on request.
Identification
The gauge should be identified with the part number, design level and a unique gauge number. The gauge number shall be used to identify the gauge in the Suppliers calibration system.
Dimensional Report
The supplier must produce and retain full inspection reports for each gauge, detailing the actual dimensions against all gauge drawing dimensions. This should include all feature lines, CAD points, etc. A gauge dimensional report should be made available to Kasai UK on request.
Gauge Approval:
The supplier shall conduct gauge confirmation activities and provide reports to support the approval of the gauge.
The supplier must ensure consistency throughout all documentation for Product characteristics identification
