Iterative Alignment issue

Shadowpaw
I have a part I have to do a iterative alignment on but the print only has 3A,1B, & 1C targets. The rotation is just 1 point on the top of the part on a plane lined up to the centerline of a cylinder on the opposite side. The plane is also called out as the B datum for a True position. Documents are controlled so I can't share it but is there anyway to rotate with only 1 target before I tell them they need to fix the print?

Thanks

  • By the looks of your sketch, I would simply switch B and C.
    -Level to A axis(5 hit cylinder)
    -Rotate to a 2d perp line 'ray line' from a axis to C
    -Origin XY to A axis
    -Origin Z to B

    Yea I'm still learning how to do iterative alignments right. I was going to go to the advanced training but covid hit and it's been on pause a couple years now. Previous job was chaos and went through upper management like Halloween candy. They couldn't make their minds up and had Starrett, Hexagon, and Zeiss CMM machines plus Keyence systems all within a 4yr period because each new manager had their own opinion on what's best. The parts were smaller medical grade plastics and only the Starrett and Hexagon had a camera system. Before I left they were trying to move everything to the new Zeiss CMM to justify the money spent which was impossible because no camera system and some of the features were way too small or flimsy to probe but all the programmers couldn't convince them otherwise. So I never needed iterative alignments or anything there so its been a learning curve going from that to castings but I do enjoy not dealing with all the FDA red tape and documentation.
