What is special about AUKOM trainings?
  • Global training standards enable internationally comparable and reproducible measurement results.
  • All AUKOM training courses are completely device and manufacturer neutral.
  • At the end of each seminar, participants receive a globally recognized AUKOM certificate.
  • AUKOM training is suitable for different knowledge levels – whether you are experienced or a beginner, there is a training for everyone.

AUKOM Level 1

The AUKOM level 1 course provides basic knowledge in production measurement technology for beginners and advanced metrologists. The training focuses on dimensional tolerancing, programming basics, measurement sequence planning and an introduction to sensor and machine technology. With level 1 of AUKOM training, metrologists can reduce measurement uncertainties and ensure that their measurement results are reliable and comparable.

AUKOM Level 2

In the seminar for AUKOM level 2, participants learn basic production measurement technology knowledge for advanced metrologists. The course focuses on form and position tolerancing, inspection plan interpretation, programming and monitoring as well as the use of suitable sensor and machine technology. The deeper understanding enables the metrologist to further reduce measurement uncertainties and make even more reliable measurements.

AUKOM GD&T

The AUKOM GD&T seminar is aimed at advanced metrology engineers and design engineers. The focus is on in-depth knowledge of form and position tolerances according to ISO-GPS and ASME as well as the innovations of the respective standards. Like all AUKOM training courses, this seminar also complies with the worldwide qualification standard. Employees from design, development and production engineering will gain an insight into the subject of form and position tolerances from the point of view of the metrologist who has to implement the drawing specifications metrologically. In this way, misunderstandings and the potential loss of time can be prevented.

The contents of the AUKOM GD&T seminar include:
  • Basics of the ISO-GPS and ASME systems
  • Function, specification, verification terms
  • Linear dimensions and tolerances
  • Angular dimensions and tolerances
  • Datum reference systems
  • Directional, positional and run-out tolerances
  • Profile tolerances
  • Independency principle
  • Envelope requirement
  • Maximum material requirement
  • Least material requirement
  • Reciprocity requirement
  • Verification
  • Tables

AUKOM Level 3

The target group of the AUKOM level 3 expert seminar are experienced metrologists. The seminar instructors impart production measurement technology knowledge with a focus on function and production-oriented measurement, filtering, program creation as well as computed tomography, quality and measuring room management. After this course of the AUKOM training, the experienced metrologist is able to communicate confidently across departments. The metrologist brings measurement uncertainties to a minimum while ensuring reliable and comparable results. In addition, the metrologist is also aware of the reduction of costs and rejects.

A metrologist is surrounded by ZEISS measuring machines and points his finger at a selection area.

How to become an AUKOM metrologist

There are many ways to use a coordinate measuring machine for measuring tasks. None is wrong, but standardization can avoid errors and uncertainties. Therefore, the main goal of the AUKOM training is the worldwide comparability of measurement results. In the AUKOM training, the metrologists learn elementary metrological terminology. This puts them in a position to communicate clearly and technically correctly how a measurement result was produced – no matter which department in which company they are talking to. Through their expertise, AUKOM metrologists contribute to fewer measurement deviations and help reduce error costs. This strengthens the company's image and partnership with other companies, resulting in fewer complaints or recalls.

The training to become an AUKOM metrologist is modular and combines teaching contents from the AUKOM training courses Level 1, 2 as well as GD&T. After completion of all seminars and a successful examination, the participant receives the AUKOM metrologist certificate, which is valid for five years.

AUKOM update training and AUKOM metrologist certificate

Change and further development also affect coordinate measuring technology. Our training content adapts to these changes too. This AUKOM seminar offers – without having to take an exam – an overview of the essential changes in the field of coordinate measuring technology in recent years. Get to know new technologies, standards and helpful tips. Keep your knowledge up to date and make sure your processes are always efficient.

Participants of the two- or three-day seminar learn new content regarding:

  • Latest standard definitions of size, shape and position according to ISO 1101, 14405, etc.
  • Product and manufacturing information (PMI)
  • Communication
  • Sensor technology
  • Creation of measurement strategies

The AUKOM seminar is primarily aimed at metrologists who have attended the AUKOM training courses on Level 2 and GD&T or Level 3 before 2020. After successful participation in the update course, you will also receive the AUKOM metrologist certificate.
