Truck & Bus Checking Fixture/Gage Standards (T&B 391), December, 1989.
A. Introduction
Production part suppliers shall utilize this manual in addition to their own
standards and minimum requirements when quoting, designing, and
building fixtures for General Motors purchased parts.
B. Scope
Phase 2 Gage:
Production gage Phase 1 gage plus all measurement ports, check
rails, etc. to support data needs from M2 builds through production
and beyond
Pull Ahead Gage:
A production intent gage brought forward in time to support PPO for
IVER builds
A. When fixtures are required, the part supplier is directly responsible for all
elements of the fixture procurement process. In addition, the part supplier
shall document all relevant activity. Due to the varying complexity of
component parts covered under this document, the supplier must contact
the procuring unit to determine the appropriate extent of the GM SQEs
involvement.
B. The Supplier shall ensure that the following apply to all fixtures:
5. They are required to have variable data collection devices for all
dimensional critical measurement points (PQCs). For critical
measurement points, the variable data collection device positioning
details (SPC ports) must be hard attached to the fixture. The
variable data collection devices must be capable of meeting all
AIAG Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) requirements.
The supplier shall maintain the change columns of both the fixture design
and the fixture. The change column shall reflect the latest production
design level whether the fixture has been affected or not.
3. Details and devices for supporting the part (risers, datums targets).
Measurement points
Feature lines
Functional holes
Historic (lessons learned) areas of high process variability
For attribute check details on interior and exterior trim parts, the
use of scribe lines or tolerance bands (check rails) are an
acceptable method for part evaluation.
Concept Approval (form 1927-29 request for gage construction and design
review) is required.

l?id=121049&togglefolder=22654&doc_lang=en&lob=quality the part supplier
shall obtain Concept Approval from the GM Supplier Quality Engineer, the GM
Design Release Engineer, Gage Specialist and the GM Dimensional System
Engineer prior to initiating the fixture design process.
Any change which may occur during the fixture procurement process that has
significant impact on the original concept must be reviewed with the GM Supplier
Quality Engineer.
V. Design Requirements
The checking fixtures used to check the fit, form, and function of the part
to the vehicle will be designed in a cooperative effort among the GM Supplier
A. The Design source shall refer to the concept sketch, the GD&T, the
written description, and the measurement points provided (as well as) the
customers Technical Review as the controlling expression of the design.
If any of this information was not supplied in the SOR or at the Technical
Review, it is the suppliers responsibility to obtain from the GM Design
Release Engineer the information necessary to satisfy all support
program deliverables.
3. Profile / contour
4. Part size
6. The fixture must be able to measure gap and flush at locations defined
within the GD&T.
3. Part size
4 Profile / contour
4. The stock list shall include all stock sizes, and must identify
standard items by supplier name and full catalog number.
1. 2 way gage pins should not restrict part movement in the none
locating direction. Slides are recommended in this application
G. All details utilized for part inspection including check pin sizes shall be
identified on the gage design. In addition, all removable and
interchangeable details shall be identified including their associated
function. The use of color coding details has proven to be an effective
technique in communicating the use of multiple model applications on the
same fixture. Interchangeable details require the following:
I. The gage design shall be such that no detail overhangs the gage base
when the detail is in any position, e.g. Swing in details (clamps, SPC
ports, flush and feeler rails, etc).
J. All part information including math data used in the design and required
for fixture construction must be identified on the fixture design (including
latest revision level and date.)
C. For variable data collection devices, a standard zero block with bushing is
to be mounted to the fixture base.
G. All loose and interchangeable details such as hand knobs and check pins,
Dial Indicators shall be permanently attached to the fixture. The use of
self storing (restrained), tethering devices or recoil type cables is
recommended.

Property of General Motors
A. The certification must include (at a minimum) the following: datums, and
functional gage features such as data collection devices, feeler checks, flush
checks, nets, gage pins, pin locations, mating part representations,
construction balls, etc. The certification must also include certification to
multiple locating schemes (e.g., with / without fasteners) per GM
requirements.

D. A new fixture certification is required for any fixture shipped outside of the
region from which it was manufactured. This is to verify that no shipping
damage has been done to the fixture.
Guidelines for acceptance of an Average and Range Gage R&R study re:
C. A Gage R&R study should be performed after any modifications are made
to the fixture which might affect the repeatability and reproducibility
performance.
X. Maintenance Requirements
XI. Glossary
Body Position:
The positioning of the part in the fixture in the identical orientation the part will
have in the final assembled vehicle.
Design Concept:
The first level of development in the fixture design process. The purpose of the
design concept is to establish and document the requirements of the fixture.
This will ensure that the fixture design includes all of the requirements of the
part supplier and GM.
Documentation Required:
Standard Product Characteristics that are deemed important to part function
and Product Engineering will require process capability data documentation.
Gage Certification:
The dimensional verification that the fixture details (i.e. datums, SPC details,
etc.) have been manufactured to facilitate accurate part measurement
Gage Design:
The final construction drawings that will enable the fixture builder to construct
the fixture that is intended for the part supplier...
