Sunbeam Auto Trainee Quality Engineer Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

There are two main types of gauges: measuring gauges and inspection gauges.

• Measuring gauges are used to measure dimensions accurately, such as calipers, micrometers, and height gauges.

• Inspection gauges are used to check if a part meets certain specifications, such as go/no-go gauges and plug gauges.

The best defect of a product is one that is identified early in the production process, allowing for quick resolution and preventing further issues.

• Early identification of defects helps in preventing costly rework and recalls

• A minor defect that is easily fixable is preferable to a major defect that requires extensive rework

• Defects that are caught during quality control inspections are considered the best defects

A snap gauge is a precision measuring tool used to quickly and accurately measure the outside diameter of a workpiece.

• Consists of a frame with an anvil and a spindle that can be adjusted to fit the workpiece

• The workpiece is placed between the anvil and spindle, and the gauge is 'snapped' shut to measure the diameter

• Commonly used in manufacturing and quality control processes

There are two main types of receiving gauges: attribute gauges and variable gauges.

• Attribute gauges are used to determine whether a product meets a certain specification or not.

• Variable gauges are used to measure the actual dimensions of a product to ensure it falls within acceptable limits.

• Examples include go/no-go gauges for attribute gauges and calipers for variable gauges.

A plug gauge is a cylindrical shaped tool used to check the diameter of a hole or bore.

• Plug gauges are used to ensure the diameter of a hole is within specified tolerances.

• They come in various sizes and are made of materials like steel or tungsten carbide.

• Plug gauges are inserted into the hole and if it fits without any resistance, the hole is within tolerance.

• If the plug gauge does not fit or fits loosely, the hole is
