    T10 Flathead ISO Spec Search

    Here's a question that is pretty basic...... Are ISO Specs something that you have to pay for to retrieve? I believe our company has a subscription to ISO for Specs, but when I called our Documentation group for a copy of ISO 14581 for Flathead T10 Screws, they didn't have a copy. My belief...

    Applying the appropriate tolerance..

    On a few of our prints, from time to time, I note that our Drafting group has used dimensional callouts with single-digit characteristics, such as "2.0" for example. In our typical "standard" Tolerance chartings, there is no tolerance criteria for a dimesional callout for this type of number...

    Dimensional Tolerancing

    If you saw a "2.0" on a mechanical drawing, and wanted to attach a tolerance to that number, (assuming of course that your "Tolerancing Data Block" is like ours and doesn't typically include a tolerance for a ".0" number), what tolerance would you go to, by default? ±.010 (or higher)...

    SOS-M3-6 PEM Length

    Based on the most available data found, the overall length of an SOS-M3-6 PEM Standoff is??????? All I see on the "PennEngineering.com" website is tolerance noted as "Dimension L" (O/A length) +.05 -.13. Anyone know the actual O/A (Over All) length for this Standoff???? -Soupy1957...

    reading a micrometer?

    In MY mechanical world, we use "a-hundred thou" or "ten-thou" or "one-inch, one-hundred thou" ......its just the way we talk and think around here.....what's the big deal. If it's Metric, then we speak Hungarian......lol

    Copper Alloys

    So far, what I've learned is that C221000 is the proper composition callout for the "L" designation Copper description. The part, (as "metengr asks) is a copper tube. -soupy1957

    Copper Alloys

    I've got a Copper Alloy designation on a print that is identified as "A-35102 / Type L" and I was asked to tell the boss what alloy of Copper this was. Since there are numerous Cu (Copper) alloys out there, ranging anywhere from "C80100" thru "C99750" I don't know what to tell him. Any...

    Interfacing ProE Wildfire 2.0 with PC-DMIS

    I'm in the process of assessing our CMM's capabilities or lack thereof, and recommending a software upgrade and/or equipment upgrade for the very purpose you have stated. Our dream desire is to have the CAD Model translate into our CMM using PC-DMIS or a reasonably similar program, and then...

    CMM Valuation

    I've been asked to spearhead a quest for newer software for our Gage 2000 B&S CMM, which is currently running a dinosaur program called "Tutor for Windows" 3.3.2. PC-DMIS looks like a viable candidate, but it has a hefty price tag. I'm also looking at trading in the Gage 2000 for a...

    ESD Control Program

    I'm a QC Tech for a Communications Equipment Assembly plant in Connecticut, responsible for the ESD Training Program, which I've been teaching for a while now. Recently a question was raised that begged an answer that I am unsure of: Employees who are working at a properly designed ESD...
