Thread: Datum on "angular slab" centerline?

  1. #1

    Datum on "angular slab" centerline?

    Referring to the attached picture,


    1-Is it allowed to define such a DRF in the ASME standard?


    2-If it is, how should we materialize datum B for inspection?


    Thank you!

    If it's a surface - it can be a datum. This works as defined. Datum C can be simulated with two collapsing surfaces that are parallel to the engineering drawing graphics as specified. A CMM would make easy work defining the specified datum.

    Ultimately the datum plane C is resolved into a plane that is perpendicular to Datums B and A too complete the three dimensional coordinate system or DRF. The derived datum C from the simulator is rotated to achieve the correct DRF orientation.
    Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
