How do I report this callout


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if some where in Calypso I can report this? They want my report. How do I demonstrate the call-out?
I understand the profile of a surface. To me that's not the problem. It's the .0004 / 1.000 that gets me. I suppose I can do flatness ref and keep all my hits within 1.00". I see what they want. There is a trough running around and there probably putting a gasket in. They want a tight seal.
Do they mean .0004" total surface profile per sq. inch?
I would they should have calculated sq area of the 2 surfaces and allowed one tolerance. I understand it's not exactly the same.
I would probably calculate the entire area and apply the .0004" * number of sq inches, etc.
I've never seen this tolerance on profile. I'm not sure Calypso can handle it per local area, etc.

Other than that, you can scan 1 sq. inch segments and apply the .0004", however that doesn't account for all possible sq in segments on the surfaces. Would definitely need software to calculate that.

Good luck.
Chris,
That's what I was thinking. Scan 1" squares. But since it's 12" x 12" that's 48 squares.
What do you think about scanning both collecting them into a plane then checking each profile against that?
Or creating a theoretical and checking profile against it?

Management ended up calling the engineer. Answer was it never had any flatness call-out and they were getting them all potato chip. So some guy, this engineer said, " It wasn't me!", threw that call-out on the print. So the now are giving us .007" flatness instead. My boss also told him that I queried it here on the post and that the response was not good.
Now my next job will be to pry a waiver out of the engineer. Ugh.

Well that's unfortunate. The print now contradicts itself. There was already flatness of .0004/1.000. That's how you control flatness over interrupted surfaces.

edit: Maybe I misunderstood. Are you saying they got rid of the Profile tolerance and added a flatness?
