Experimental demonstration of Measurement System Analysis

This work presents the application of Measurement System Analysis (MSA) and the advantages of the Six Sigma approach in the validation of a servo-hydraulic tester. The diagnosis of repeatability and reproducibility by using repeatability (R) and reproducibility (R) gage analysis (so called Gage R&R Type II tool) which shows the correct operation of the measuring system including uncertainty of staff and measuring instrumentation. The Gage R&R Type II tool is based on the analysis of variance, called ANOVA. The structural approach to the subject has also provided knowledge of the error of the measurement system.
