inspect apart
00:05
In this video we're going to record measurement
00:07
values and input measurement values into fusion 360 inspection
00:13
Infusion 3 60. Let's carry on with our engine case R. H. Ready to program
00:18
now at this point what we've done is we've
00:20
created all of the different setups or operations.
00:23
We've created all the tool, passed a machine apart and we've even created R. N. C.
00:27
Programs which we can export as NC code or G code
00:31
as well as setup sheets.
00:33
The next step in the process after actually machining the part is to inspect it.
00:37
Now if you remember from our blueprint we have some values that we do need to inspect.
00:42
So let's remind ourselves and take a quick look at our blueprint.
00:46
So when we take a look at our blueprint,
00:48
any of the dimension values that have this border
00:50
around them are going to represent an inspection dimension.
00:54
Now in most cases we are able to manually inspect these and record them. Now.
00:59
Fusion 360 does have some advanced options for in process probing that could
01:03
help us find the location of holes features and different parallel faces.
01:08
But we're going to be using some manual inspection tools.
01:12
I will say that there are some limitations to manual inspection currently
01:16
for example we can measure the distance between two parallel faces.
01:20
We can also measure things like hole diameters.
01:22
However, we aren't able to measure the distance between two holes as of right now.
01:28
So what we're going to be doing is we're going
01:30
to take a look at one of these inspection dimensions.
01:32
How we can use manual inspection to not only set this up but
01:36
also record the values and make sure that it does fall within tolerance.
01:40
When we're looking at this blueprint you can see
01:42
that this value has three decimal places 30.531.
01:46
There's no tolerance value associated with that
01:48
specific dimension which means we need to come
01:50
down to our tolerance values for three decimal places where plus or minus 30.1.
01:57
So let's go ahead and hop back into fusion 3 60
01:60
see how we can set this up
02:02
Infusion 3 60.
02:03
The first thing that we want to do is
02:04
navigate to our inspection tools under here we've got
02:08
probing inspection tools and you'll notice that some of
02:10
these are included inside of our manufacturing extension.
02:14
If you need access to machining extension functionality then you can go ahead
02:18
and navigate to the extensions and identify which extensions are right for you.
02:23
For this example we're going to be looking solely at manual inspection,
02:26
how to create them and how to record them.
02:29
Once again currently these values will be able to be recorded going
02:32
through two parallel faces or measuring the diameter of holes and bosses.
02:37
So the first thing that we want to do is we want to create a manual inspection.
02:42
I'm gonna hit the plus icon to create a new manual inspection
02:45
and we're going to be going from this front face
02:48
to the upper face of the boss. This is going to be a critical location
02:51
that determines the correct position of the crankshaft.
02:54
You'll notice that this is displayed on the screen and
02:57
we can reposition it so that can be viewed easier.
03:00
We also have the ability to modify things like the tolerances.
03:04
We can change the inspection type. We can also record the camera position.
03:10
This camera position will allow us to reposition the model based on this.
03:14
I also want to give this a name, this is going to be crank boss distance.
03:21
Remember that the tolerance value is 0.1 plus or minus.
03:26
So we're going to reset those to make sure that they're in range and if we
03:29
want to add any additional inspection values we
03:32
would do this by hitting the plus icon.
03:34
Remember that these are going to be based on parallel faces or boss diameters.
03:39
So if we want to add a new boss diameter we can add the inside diameter of this whole.
03:44
Once again we can reposition this so it's easier to view.
03:47
We can capture the position and we can add crank boss de ia or diameter.
03:55
Again the tolerance value is going to be based on the blueprint and
03:59
in this case that specific value is 0.438 plus or minus 0.1.
04:05
So we want to reset our tolerance to be plus or minus 0.1.
04:09
Once we're happy with these we can select OK and
04:12
notice that we now have a folder for manual inspections
04:15
inside of here.
04:16
The manual inspections is listed under op one
04:19
and that's because this was currently active.
04:22
We do have the ability to drag and
04:24
drop and reposition inspections but we should be mindful
04:28
that this was created inside of op one.
04:31
We're going to go ahead and activate the inspection.
04:35
Notice that when we do this it repositions
04:37
our view but the inspection dimensions are visible.
04:40
Now if we want to record inspection dimensions,
04:43
if we select them and right click notice that we have options to record.
04:47
We're going to select record manual inspection and in
04:51
this case we have .53125 as our value.
04:55
We're going to enter a manual inspection value of .530.
05:01
Now you'll notice that this dimension is shown.
05:04
It's green and green means that it's within tolerance.
05:07
If I set this 2.5 to 9 you can see that it's still within tolerance based on that.
05:12
Plus or minus 90.1 we can see the nominal
05:16
values here are going to be 0.5 to 1252.54125.
05:22
So if I change this 2.5 to 1 now it's going to stay orange because we're out of range.
05:28
So this is a great way for us to easily see if our parts are within range.
05:33
Again we can use camera inspection notice that the results folder is going
05:37
to be new inspection results because we haven't actually recorded anything yet.
05:41
We're going to select next and if we want to include another value,
05:46
if we actually machined multiple parts,
05:48
let's say this one is 10.5 to 4 next. And then we can say okay when we're done
05:54
you can see that we have inspection results in crank boss distance,
05:58
it shows green if it's intolerance or orange if it's out of tolerance.
06:02
So once again,
06:03
this is a great way for us to include these values
06:06
and be able to select them and see them on the
06:08
screen whether or not these are going to be actually inside
06:13
of the nominal values that we need for our part.
06:16
But once again, there are some limitations to manual inspection.
06:20
There are some benefits as well for advanced functionality,
06:23
like bluetooth calipers that can be connected
06:25
directly to the manual inspection inputs.
06:28
But for right now this is going to be the basis of
06:31
how you would set up manual inspections and record their values.
06:35
Once you're done,
06:36
let's go ahead and make sure that we do save before moving on to some extra steps
