Xun #2 Flashcards
“Setup/Fixture/Cutting Tools” is the name given to the fifth step in developing a process plan. What are 4 major considerations during setup planning, and what are the main criteria by which we making our decisions?
- Number of setups
- Sequence of setups
- Grouping of operations
- Machining datum
Part features/geometry, dimension/datum, and tolerance requirements
What are the four datum types? What requirement do we impose on datum in manufacturing?
- Functional/design/dimensional/tolerance datum
- Machining datum
- Inspection datum
- Assembly datum
All datum must be machined surfaces and/or have a good surface finish
What four rules do we use when choosing a datum for finish-machining?
- Datum consistency
- Datum consolidation
- Datum reciprocation
- Self-datum
