Tooling Design Guide

GUIDE LINES FOR TOOLING DESIGN BEFORE TAKING FOR DESIGN

 CHECK FOR Request for design Component drawing-suffix and date of the drawing should be same as in the request Process sheet tage drawing if an! Forging"Casting drawing #achine tool in which option to be carried out - detail and m"c capacit! chart Catalogues of tools to be used " equipment$ used during that option li%e chuc%& dial& 'aws etc$ (etails regarding wor% area con)e!or height etc$

GUIDELINES FOR MISTAKE PROOFING IN IG AND TOOL DESIGN tud! the component drawing for the particular operation$ Chec%-can the component be loaded in the 'ig"fixture in more than one position$ ,f so& chec% for fouling with an! part of 'ig"fixture& m"c tool& cutting tool& during operation& can cause damage to cutting tool& m"c tool& fixture during operation& will the component after completion of operation be incorrect requiring rewor% or to be scrapped when gets loaded in other than desired position in the fixture$ ,f so mista%e proofing is to be pro)ided in the form of pins"pro'ections"or an! other elements which will obstruct and pre)ent loading the component other than the desired orientation$
