To clarify surface profile without datums

Recommended Posts

Hello,
i just want to know if we are understand this correctly.

Here on picture is forged part, where can vary thickness and mismatch of upper and lower shape.
Can i ignore central axis of part and just report deviations of each surface? Aka cylindricality and flattness?

Surf. profile is for all not tolerated dimensions. 3001_063a1a7894cd538dfcd584505a25cce7.png

Martin, first I would like you to confirm, is there also a note on the drawing similar to "Missing basic dimensions to be taken from CAD model"?
Is the drawing to ISO?

For cylinders I'm sure that cylindricity isn't going to be enough. You need surface profile for those, as it would also control diameter that way.
For planes, if they aren't feature of size, flatness is enough.

Actually i will report profiles. I am just curious if i can report one half of cylinder to itself, or i have to take axis into account. Like make one CZ cylinder as base A

Dane,

For what it's worth, I work in a machine shop where our stock comes from forgings made in house. We use similar call outs for the entire forging, and in that case we would pick up the top and bottom together as 1 cylinder, then report the profile of the entire thing. Being that the profile has NDRF, it is really controlling form only. I believe the call out is trying to control the form of the entire cylinder, including any mismatch that may be present.

That's my 2 cents and how I would handle it.

Regards,
Keith Tate

Per your drawing, Datum R is a single cylinder at one end only.
The other end is interrupted by separate features, the datum would have to state both cylinders as one or have a second Datum designation which would or could become a Common Datum (Ex: Datum R and other end as Datum S could become Datum R-S).

Sorry for mystifying, but that is not datum R - it's just dimension for Radius but without number.

You need to report the profile of all the surfaces simultaneously. You can't just report the form - additionally, the profile also controls the size, which form won't include. This is effectively creating a best fit datum reference frame that all the profile elements must conform to.

The best way to show compliance is probably to measure points on all the features of interest as a single freeform object, then report profile to no datums of the single freeform. That will give you the best optimization.

You could also create a best fit DRF, and then report the profile of all the features back to that. You risk rejecting good parts though.

Image that I attached is whole drawing - all dimensions are basic, so there is diameter for one(?) cylinder on sides, radius for partial cylinder in middle, some distance lengths and angle.

From this thread I got this. If there is cylinder with diameter, then i take whole cylinder ( not just part on half of part - area stricted to gridlines ) - same for length - oposing faces.

I would agree, that they could determine some bases to be clear with it. Normally u use profile for just face where arrow points to.
