i was measuring an oring groove that by calipers measured 0.645 the arm measured a plane to plane measurment of 0.234 i measured a plane at the top of the groove and a plane at the bottom of the groove and measured the distance between the two in 3d and that is number i got however all other dimensions i took using the same set up and alignment came out correct .
But can you put a square peg through a round hole? Will centroid of one plane to another plane give you the
real min or max distance between planes? And upon achieving said distance the following ways above, can you fit that distance between the
actual minimum parallel condition of both planes. If not, is there more information needed? In dealing with my engineers they have been far more interested to know the actual distances at multiple points vs. that of an average mating condition. Just saying. I guess it depends on what you are looking for and sometimes to much information can be a bad thing. They will pick the way that makes them happy. Remember, it will more than likely come down to a judgement call and get shipped anyway.
