CONE DATUM


---
 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi everybody,
i have to measure characteristics attached. How can I measure Datum C and D? 3d line between cones feature? 3d line between circle on cone features?
I would like to know if anyone has already tried.
Please admit that the two cone surfaces are grinded and has perfect shape. 732_9bdde342c0035edfe085c102b4cd2519.png

I would go circle on cone and create a 3D line.

Your datum did not satisfy the conditions of the datum requirement, these cones are going to be functional in the assembly,I don't think...

Measure the two cones and construct a 3d line.

The runout in the top view calls it out a composite datum (C-D), but the one below has no dash between?

I would measure the cone, and then the flat plane surrounding the cone, and intersect the two. Repeat on other end. Then I construct a 3d-line between the two intersection points.

This method will get a stable vector. If you measure the cone only , it will have projected error. If you measure a circle on a cone, it is ALIGNMENT dependent, which potentially could be an ellipse in form.

I would measure the two cones, and construct a 3D line.
I would also report the form of each cone for reference; If there is an issue with parts passing spec, this may provide a clue.
IMO, some of the other options may gloss over imperfections of the datums.

This looks like a typical input/output shaft drawing.

They tend to draw it this way because majority of people would just put this on a bench-center between centers, and capture the runouts.

In the CMM world, this becomes difficult.

Richard, This is exactly what we do. A part like this for the runout we check on centers, rather than using a CMM. We setup up however many .0001" indicators on the part and check them all at once. It's much faster.

Yeah. I got fast tracked into the shaft measurement world. CMMs work great if they give you normal datums, but in this case it can be a pain in the butt.

I've seen some machines that get this option. 659_985768dff2cdc394543359a279e34c0a.jpg

It's impossible to check the runout of that I.D. to centers without a CMM. The centers are for construction, chances are they are un-used in the final use of the part. Not a great way to design a part. We would get parts like this, but the runout would be called out to a critical O.D.

Thank you guys.

I know isn't a best way to check those runout but in my workshop is only one.

I take some good posts and i will perform R&R in order to define the limit.

keep in touch!

Hi everybody,
i just want to update this topic.
I made a lot of R&R measurements about it and i explain to all which construction i use to fix the runout meas.

I measured datum C and D like a cone with 3 circle path for each (GG evaluation).
I created a 3d line through all 6 circles centers, then I used it like runout datum.

I know that isn't the purpose of the drawing but it give me a good comparison (gap max 0.006mm) with customer measurement. This construction made it possible to continue with the project.

Obviously, when you have a similar tolerances the only way is use bench-center measurements like Eric Crawford's suggestion.
