Profile all around


---
 Share

Recommended Posts

I have a part(casting) that has a profile callout with an all around designation. Is there a realistic way of doing this with CMM ? That is the only callout on the entire part, all others are Basic.

Closest thing I would compare it to is a compressor housing..it has complex geometry, ports, transition areas.. I think the customer is expecting a data cloud. I don't know how else to present the results. Right now I'm trying to determine the point density requirement. I do have Curve, freeform. Any tips ?

Apologies, it is profile of a surface with the "all over" symbol as shown in ASME 14.5-2018 figure 11-10

Without knowing the geometry (shape) it's hard to recommend a good strategy.
However, I have had good success sectioning the model and creating several 2d
curves and recalling those points into a free from surface.

If you had something like a line scan on an RDS, maybe.

This is something that 3d scanners shine doing well. Zeiss has their own that works extremely well. In addition, the GOM Inspect Software is really nice for not only doing all over Profile evaluations, but GD&T.

I tried to buy a scanner last year.. It certainly would alleviate my point density challenge

The line scan is a red-light. I do believe that I've heard of either a blue-light coming soon or being available.

I'd never want to do it any other way again. 😎 Let's you do in minutes what would take a tactile CMM ages.
Luckily, with our plastic parts, I can afford to measure all the complex GD&T stuff with it.

I think touchless scanning is the future. The CFS (white light)
on my O-inspect is super accurate, super fast, even with high
point densities.

The CFS is great because of the accuracy, but the speed is nowhere near what you can do with a line-scan or something like the T-Scan or Comet. The spot size is just too small.

Is just an "All around" symbol, or are you talking about a note that states unless otherwise specified -some profile of surface tolerance?

It has a single profile of a surface with the "all over" symbol as shown in ASME 14.5-2018 figure 11-10, also see 11.3.1.5 for methods. This print has the symbol on the elbow of leader.

I found the easiest way, is to let Richard do it. lol

I see this was already addressed earlier in the thread. Guess I should read it all before posting next time. 🙄

The profile tolerance controls all features. If the profile is called out as .6, then you have a ± .3 for a length or dia. unless there is a max stated on the dia. or a radius. See ASME Y14.5 -2018 page 251 figure 11-6.
