Specifying the location for a CMM
Specifying the location for a CMM
(OP)
I have been asked to specify the location of the CMM prob "touches" to reduce the variation due to non-consistant location/"touches" (IE Draft of plastic piece).
I am still a bit unsure how to really specify this. They gave me an X & Y coordinate in one view. Now how do I make this a "dimension?" Is there a specific GD&T symbol?
I was looking over a book, and the best i could relate to is a Datum Target Area. but i'm not terribly sure this is exactly what I need?

I would specify it in the drawing notes and then use flagnote symbols with reference dimensions to indicate the locations of the points to be probed.

RE: Specifying the location for a CMM
I would probably reflect the contact points using phantom lines from the datums and basic dimensions. The contact points could be called a letter of some sort and the measuring information could be noted on the drawing.
