I have had this question for sometime and have only seen instances where there is a hole as datum b and plane of a slot as C. What if you have a flat plate with two slots and you want to control the outer edges of the plate using a profile tolerance with respect to the slots (slots are...
Hi,
I have started to design a lot of bent sheet metal parts. I am comfortable using GDT on machined parts or flat sheet metal parts but applying it to bent sheet metal parts can be sometimes confusing. For parts like the one below, is it easier from an inspection position to use profile...
Hi,
I want to use a pattern of holes (4 holes) as a tertiary datum (datum C). The catch is I want to control the position of two of the holes with respect to each other tighter than that distance between the other group of two holes. Can this be done using gdt? If so how?
I have a large sheet metal enclosure base that has lots of panel mount connector holes. How do you go about applying GDT when one datum setup will not work for all of the different cutouts (for example bolt pattern around a larger connector cutout or a hole being perpendicular to a surface that...
Hi,
Was wondering how people would usually dimension/tolerance the outer perimeter of a part like this. If the part was not bent, a profile tolerance around the outside perimeter would be nice and easy. Since the part is bent, it makes it a little less intuitive to use a profile tolerance...
