I have used the gear module in solid edge and it does not work well for reverse engineering (what i do). does anyone have a way to draw the curve? all of the web based generators i found use metric module, I use mainly DP. I used to create using a LISP in autocad but my Autocad is gone now.
We have traditionally used off the shelf honed steel tubing from several suppliers over the years that sell the tubing for hydraulic cylinders. Additionally, all the cylinders I have reverse engineered have the crosshatch like an automotive engine.
However, I now have a cylinder made from a...
I was hoping that there was some standard that governed this. I prefer to place "hone" on the print because some of the people downstream from me have in the past for example had a part with a +-.010 tolerance flame cut when I had wanted it lasercut, now all my prints designate laser cut or...
Honing creates a cross hatch pattern that helps retain oil. It also minimizes the formation of "sharp peaks" on the surface caused by other machining processes. Right???
So I could just place "hone" under the surface finish symbol, but I still think there is more to it. For example radial and transverse surface finish requirements or what is the angle of the cross hatch in relation to the face.
I understand not calling out procedures, however, in today's world some people don't always have the knowledge to know this isn't just a regular hole in a block of aluminum.
What I am wondering is there a surface finish symbol that will tell someone "hone this"
I am reverse engineering a hydraulic cylinder, I believe there is more to just slapping on a number for a surface finish, does anyone have any experience in this area? I believe there must be a standard out there that covers this.
