Our proposed nest for Fairino FR10 doing presenting mounting brackets for inspection in a machined-bracket assembly workshop contacts several surfaces on a steel sensor bracket.
CAD looks tidy, but my bench samples don't all sit the same way.
Someone suggested a stronger clamp.
How do I check whether the locating scheme is fighting itself before we approve tooling?
@WillBaker0487 Start by identifying the contacts that establish the required drawing datums. A map distinguishing them from supports and clamps will help interpret your rocking samples.
@HazelAdams0136 On my sketch, the mounting holes and outside wall both determine lateral position. Everything is labelled as a locator, with no stated priority between those contacts.
Show the fixture designer where those constraints overlap, alongside the permitted hole-to-wall relationship. A relieved wall contact is one candidate for their review.
@HazelAdams0136 That proposal depends on the required datum scheme. Without establishing it, relieving the wall might remove the reference needed by the operation.
