This is really, sorta, not a CMM question.... but then again, it is. And I have never been disappointed by the knowledge of this forum! ANYWAYS...
I have a drawing, its a sheet metal part, that in the notes says I can restrain to 10 lbs MAX.?? (to datums). How would anyone rate the poundage of a clamp holding down a part, on a CMM table? Kind of a grey area. When we have a machined parts its suppose to be measured in the 'free state' ?? Again... the part will move if you do not clamp them down. Any thoughts?? Its funny because an "engineer" will say.. "thats suppose to be in the free state" , only if their part isn't correct. And I tell them... .show me how YOUR supplier inspects this part without holding it down....nothing ever becomes of this.
I have been working with pcdmis and automotive sheet metal for over 30 years and have never seen a call out that states and maximum lb pressure. I have pretty much inspected parts for every car maker. Which car maker is this from?
