#047 Motion mechanism design - 30: Orthogonality of XY table assembly - 2
Category : Drive mechanism design
June25, 2010
The flow of design drawing that enables accurate assembly work without high levels of training is organized below.

Explanation of the example
Explanation is along a~d shown above.
(a) Identify machine section(s) requiring accuracies.
Applicable section is the XY table in this case.
(b) Visualize the assembly process. (see [Fig.1])

(c) Identify parts that affect accuracies from the assembly drawing.
The parts are the 3 red lettered parts from b) above. (see [Fig.1]) *Base *Y axis base mounting plate *Y axis base
(d) Match the assembly datum features of parts and enter into drawings the dimension specifications that enable high accuracies.
This is shown on [Fig.1]. The datum shown is referenced for specifying locations of assembling reference dowel holes.
