Some of our parts need to follow a specific manufacturingprocedure.
eg.
1. Part pre-machined (Material left on for finish machining)
2. Part sent for stress releiving
3. Part finish machined
Bear in mind that the example above is over simplified.
We only create one drawing of the part in it's finished state. I'veheard some people create configurations showing each stage ofmanufacture and create individual drawings to represent each stage.
Personally I would like to avoid this, but can't think of any othereffective methods to convey manufacturing intent, exept annotation.
Eg.
Step 1: Rough machine on lathe. (Leave up 1.mm on all dimensions)
Step 2: Send out for stress releiving
Step 3: Finish machine on lathe
The above notation would have to be inserted onto the drawingsomewhere. This however, uses up quite abit of drawing page space.It is also difficult to adequately describe the processes for morecomplex parts.
What do you do?? If possible, please post some examples (eg.Procedures templates, etc.)
Thanks....
