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...
Okay thanks all for the replies. So with the "unless otherwise specified, all surfaces profile tolerance" general note, say you have a part like below with datums and a thickness specified like so. How do you know what surface is used to position the section of the part shown in detail J (red...
Hi drawoh,
Thanks for the response. That is correct, I only care about the bent state. So you are implying an all over profile tolerance with a plus minus tolerance on thickness perhaps? My question would be then, would it be harder to inspect the bent sections toleranced in this manner...
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...
