I think I will be inspecting this assembly (see attached), unassembled. There are many features inside and outside of the parts that their FCFs are built with datums from each part. For instance, the primary datum is the face of the dark red part and the secondary and tertiary are dowel holes in the light red part. My initial idea is to inspect one side of one part, flip it over, inspect the other side with an equate alignment, do the same with the other part and bring all the data together with another equate alignment using the face of each part where they meet and the corresponding dowel holes of each part.
Does anyone think that will work? Or is there a better way to get all the data together so I can build the required FCFs?
I've seen equate alignments used when flipping units, not in combining 2 units of datums.
It may be more practical to get the ME group to define in process datums for each half that would also be accessible once assembled. Then you can have your piece part inspections for the hard to reach items mixed with some over-checkable items once assembled. Then your assembly program would Datum properly and you could devise correlation between your reported items to gain customer approval.
