Coaxial feture position


Recommended Posts

I believe those are two different evaluations, which don't really make sense to me.

My assumption would be that they want one Position of 0.001@MMC, but with a maximum deviation of 0.003. I don't know why they don't just make 0.003 the tolerance, and be done with it.

Engineers do whatever they want.

I agree with you, Kevin, and I agree with Richard.

To give the engineer the benefit of the doubt, I would guess his/her intention is to maximize manufacturability. Perhaps something like this:

"Yes, we can provide the production team with bonus tolerance so more parts are accepted, so let's apply a .001@MMC characteristic, but we have to make sure the part fulfills its functional requirement when bonus is unavailable, so I'm going to specify this by adding a .003 MAX characteristic."

However, the MAX specification is unnecessary and implied. Also, GD&T Rule #1 may already cover this. I guess he really wanted to emphasize the position requirement when bonus is unavailable.
