[Hu...] Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I need to check the surface of a plane to see if it is within the tolerance of 3 degrees max on a print, what is the best way to do this and is there any setting I need to change to show the degrees of the plane. I am using Calypso software on a Zeiss Accura. Thank You Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 It depends on how is it dimensioned on drawing. I presume that it is on cylinder, so I would use center of it and construct 2x 3d line from center and edge of surface. Then calulate angle between lines. But HOW, thats how your part looks like.

[Hu...] Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Marin, Thanks for the input, see the attached print with the 1degree +2 degree tolerance. Thanks Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ma...] Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Seriously I don't know what is that dimension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Da...] Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Jim, confirm what Martin asked already. Are the 2 features cylinders/cones? Looks like some duro-plastic part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Hu...] Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Sorry its a cylinder, its a forging for a gear. Thanks Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 For me it seems like it should be cone. You are drawing bevel angles like that? This dimension doesn't make sence for me. No arrows for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Da...] Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. This could so easily be |profile of surface|t1|A|S| But you probably don't want to argue with the designer, are you Jim? Otherwise you could 1 line on cylinder and 1 line on the cone (on multiple places actually) and do angle between features. Maybe, but there could be better approach.

[Hu...] Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Well it's a forging company out of India, I guess they make their prints a little differently. I guess I could argue with that dimension lol. Thanks Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Hu...] Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Thanks for the help Dane, I will try what you recommended. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 That 2.0 MAX is just cut of unneeded material ( spilled from dies ). So 1° -0°/+2° seems like angle of cone ( double it for WK ). Angle should be measured from base A. So I would measure 2 or 3 circles for cone and report angle. But if it will be bended ( and it will ) then it can give you wrong results. As Dane mentioned - use some lines on cone and base A for measuring angle 91° -0°/+2°. This will give right results regardless on deformation.
