Step Cylinder


Recommended Posts

I think I have a good application for using a stepped cylinder but not sure I'm using it correctly. I have 2 inline cylinders and have recalled the points into a stepped cylinder. So far, so good, right?

Next, I created a position of the stepped cylinder to A & B for the upper tier.

For the lower tier, I created another position but used the stepped cylinder for the feature and the primary datum feature. Seems ok to me. Any thoughts?

I have a bonus question to add to this inquiry...

Say you are scanning a stepped cylinder that is significantly different in size and enough have to have separate evaluation settings, when creating the step cylinder, which bore takes precedence as far as what filter & evaluation to use?

In my opinion, filtering does not have the same amount of impact on the results as Outlier Elimination does. This is especially true if using the LSQ algorithm. In the case of the OTE/ITE, sure the filtering can have some impact - I still think it is minimal.

Clarification - if we are talking form tolerances, then yes filtering has a major impact.

That's an oversight on my end. I just snapped to the two coaxial features part.

In that case, Step Cylinder is the correct approach.

As for your alignments, I'm not certain I understand the purpose of the lower tier, but I think you are on the correct path.
