What is True Position?

If you are drilling a hole which has an X and Y location, you have to be able to measure Cp and Cpk for both the X and Y dimensions as well as the overall location of the hole:

Note: Tolerance is 1/2 the diameter of allowable true position. There is no LSL.


Maximum Material Condition (MMC) Cpk

If you have a cylinder with an inside and an outside diameter, you can determine Cpk using the MMC template. The X and Y offsets are optional. You just need measurements of the outside and inside diameters to calculate Cpk (N4).

Bonus Tolerance

QI Macros calculates individual Bonus Tolerances for each part that is measured (Outside/Inside Diameter and X/Y Offsets) in the MMC Cpk True Position template. These tolerance values are located in column K and are calculated by using the True Position Tolerance value found in cell B9.
