Operator Training
Vision Systems and Optical Comparators
​
A thorough understanding of metrology system hardware and software is essential for measurement accuracy, operator productivity, and a good return on investment (ROI). To help customers achieve these objectives, Starrett offers operator training as part of its services for new and existing Vision Metrology systems and Optical Comparators. It also offers operator training both in person and remotely as needed.
Basic operator training is purchased by most customers along with equipment installation. This training typically takes 1/2 day for a manual system with Mx200, M2 or M3 manual software, and 1 day for a CNC system with M3 CNC software. Many customers choose to augment the basic CNC training with 1 or 2 days of specialized hands-on training, where operators program actual parts of the type on which they will be working. Training is with the new equipment and is limited to 3 people, so that they can all get hands-on time. Starrett’s objective is to create power users, who can then train other users when needed.
Additional operator training, with emphasis on software, is offered by Starrett as needed. Classes are typically held on-site at the user facility using the actual equipment on which operators are to be trained. Classes can also be held online with screen sharing, or at the Starrett Metrology Demo and Training facility in Laguna Hills, CA. Classes can be conducted by Starrett technicians, regional Product Specialists, or factory Applications Engineers.
