What’s the “CMM runout error”?



What’s the “CMM runout error”?

When you measure the runout on CMM, the CMM induces a lot of error into the measurements. If you have 2 axes in your CMM program for the runout, for example, the axis of a feature, a circle, and the axis of the datum -A-, a cylinder, each axis of movement during the measurement is going to add an element of error. The axis of the features and datum -A- always are off to the axes of CMM. That “off” is a very little angle, A1/A2 angles, but that “little angle” end up magnifying error substantially when , for example, it is about a .0005 tolerance.

You can simply see it if you examine the difference in the A1/A2 angles between the features. You cannot change the A1/A2 angles on CMM. On a Roundness tester you make A1/A2= zero before measuring the runout. A roundness tester allow us to correct the A1/A2 angles, to center the part axis on the spindle so that the runout will be in the part in which the axis feature-datum have 0° angles to the axes of the machine.


The A1/A2 angles are the root cause of the CMM runout error, and of the deviation between 2 different fixturing on 2 different CMM’s, between 2 different CMM’s, between the CMM and the Roundness tester, and between the CMM and the Dial indicator.

As a conclusion for the CMM runout error: No problems when the part is perfect .When the parts are not perfect the CMM may reject good parts, parts in which the runout is on the high side of tolerance.

Nephilim

N 'eh - Ph 'ih- L 'ee- M /  Nepheeleem Zacharia Sitchin (July 11, 1920 – October 9, 2010)  wrote the " Nephilim " (נְפִילִים) is derived from “nafàl" and means “fall". The term Nephilim occurs in Genesis 6:1-4, describing the point of time when three things began: men began to increase in number, came into existence the daughters of men , and the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. Is the "nephillim" really only a Hebrew word? That question is very subtle, however I think it has been more a limit of thinking for linguists rather than a serious argument. Let's begin first with the probable meaning the linguists think it is. We know that the " fall"  in every language means moving downward from a higher position involuntarily, usually by an accident, which maybe was the reason why Michael S.

Total positional tolerance at material condition

Total positional tolerance at material condition (Hole) Suppose the Ø 1.005 / 1.010 hole is inspected and there are six parts with different ID dimensions. Their actual sizes checked with run out methods give that their actual axis is to be .006” over and up from the true position even though they have different actual ID’s. We want to know which part is within true position tolerance at MMC. Parts to be acceptable require some calculation when is used the run out method.             In GD&T, maximum material condition (MMC) refers to a hole that contains the greatest amount of material.             To understand and memorize simply and logically the concept, I suppose that you have a part designed as a square with one hole in the center, Ø 1.005 / 1.010 . You have produced just 5 parts and measured their holes. The hole of part #1 is on the low side of its tolerance Ø 1.005" and the hole of part #5 is on high side of its tolerance Ø 1.010". Here is the question: W

The connection between the Albanian language and Sumerian/Akkadian

Lidhja e gjuhës shqipe me sumerishten/akadishten. Akadishtja është një gjuhë magjepsëse—gjuha më e hershme që gjuhetarët e cilësojnë gabimisht semite—që ka mbetur e pashprehur për 2000 vjet. Vetëm në 200 vitet e fundit studiuesit kanë qenë në gjendje të deshifrojnë gjuhën e lashtë falë mbishkrimeve në pllaka guri dhe balte. Në vitin 2011, Universiteti i Çikagos më në fund botoi fjalorin e tij epik në tërësinë e tij. Më bëri shumë përshtypje një nga fjalët e para të fjalorit, fjala ABALU qe do të thotë të sjellësh, të transportosh, të mbartësh, të mbash fëmijën e palindur e thënë kjo per nje grua me barrë, etj. Abalu më bëri të mendoj për fjalët shqipe 'bie', 'grua me barrë', m'bart etj. Në atë fjalë-koncept janë tre embrioforma fillistare të gjuhës shqipe dhe origjinojnë prej vetë gjuhës shqipe. Me e nda në rrokje ABALU kemi A BA LU, kuptimi i tre fjalëve të dialektit Gege dhe del shumë qartë kuptimi i lëvizjes nga vëndi, dhe si pasojë dhe lëvizjen nga një vend në
