Rolling Gauges are gauges that generally need to be calibrated on a daily basis and are normally calibrated by the operator. Gauge Inspections are designed to walk them through the process.

 

To start, click on the Gauges button from your Home Menu. 

(This step may not be necessary if you just created a new Rolling Gauge)

 

Next, click the Edit button next to the Rolling Gauge that you want to create inspections for.

(This step may not be necessary if you just created a new Rolling Gauge)

Note: If you do not have any Rolling Gauges, a tutorial for creating them can be found here.

 

 

This will bring you to the Edit Rolling Gauge screen. Click on the Gauge Inspections button.

 

You will then be brought to the Calibration Blocks page.

A Calibration Block is a part with dimensions that are known to be accurate for use in calibrating a gauge.

To create a new Calibration Block, click the New Calibration Block button.

 

Note: This table will be empty the first time you arrive here for each gauge.

 

This will bring up a form for creating a new Calibration Block.

Give your Calibration Block a Serial Number and a Name/Description.

Click the Create button.

 

This will bring you to a page where you can begin to add Inspections for this Gauge Block.

 

Enter the Characteristic that will be inspected and the Inspection Description.  The Inspection Description section will appear when operators are performing this inspection. Here, you can put as much detail as you need, to help the operator do the inspection correctly.   The Measurement Min and Measurement Max will create a range of acceptable values that the operator can enter during the inspection that will pass. The Measurement Actual is the exact measurement for this characteristic of the Calibration Block. The Unit of Measure will display next to the min and max. (Example: If a hole needs to be between 1.2 and 2.2 CM to pass an inspection enter 1.2 as the Min, 2.2 as the Max, and CM as the Unit of Measure)

The last part of creating your block inspection will be the option to Add Images/Files.

Click on the Choose Files button.This will bring up the file explorer on your computer to search for files.

File Types supported: Video(.mp4), Image(.jpg, .jpeg, .png), Document(.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx)

When the form is complete, click the Add button.

 

This will add the inspection to the table on the right and clear the form so you can continue to add more inspections as needed.

 

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have created your first gauge inspection.
