27. Indirect Flatness Controls There are several geometric controls that can indirectly affect the flatness of a surface; they are Rule #1, perpendicularity, parallelism, angularity, total runout and profile of a surface. When any of these controls are used on a surface, they also limit the flatness of the surface. However indirect form controls are not inspected . If it is desired to have the flatness of a surface inspected, a flatness control should be specified on the drawing. If a flatness control is specified its tolerance value must be less than the tolerance value of any indirect flatness controls that affect the surface.
28. Flatness When Inspecting Flatness, There Is No Datum.
30. Three possible inspection methods are illustrated. In all cases, considered feature is isolated from rest of part and aligned relative to indicator. In the first case, the part is leveled on the surface plate. In the second illustration, the surface is leveled by placing it on three equal height gage blocks. The indicator is then moved across the surface. In the third illustration, the CMM will mathematically "level" the points of the surface contacted by the probe. In all cases the FIM (Full Indicator Movement) may not exceed 0.2mm.
31. Problem: If the surface is convex, the part will rock making it difficult to determine the minimum indicator reading over the entire surface. problem may cause an acceptable surface to be rejected.
32. Problem: Ideally, the gage blocks should be placed under the high points on the surface. Otherwise, the indicator movement may not be the lowest possible. problem may cause an acceptable surface to be rejected.
33. CMM will automatically align points to evaluate flatness error. Problem: Often insufficient points are taken to evaluate the flatness error. As a result, an out of spec surface may be accepted. Inspecting flatness requires time and patience.
57. Verifying Straightness Applied to Surface Elements Establish the first line of the tolerance zone by placing the part surface on a surface plate.
58. Verifying Straightness Applied to Surface Elements The surface plate becomes the true counterpart. Using a gauge wire with a diameter equal to the straightness tolerance value, check the distance between the true counterpart and the low points of the line element of the part surface.
59. Verifying Straightness Applied to Surface Elements If the gauge wire will not fit between the part and the surface plate, the straightness error of the line element is less than the allowable value . If, at any point along the part, the wire does fit into the space between the part and surface plate, line element straightness is not within its specifications.
62. Rule #1's Effects on Straightness of a FOS Whenever Rule #1 applies to a FOS, an automatic straightness control exists for the axis
63. When the FOS is at MMC the axis (or centerplane) must be perfectly straight. As the FOS departs from MMC, a straightness error equal to the amount of the departure is allowed. Rule #1's Effects on Straightness of a FOS

190. When a hole pattern is used as a datum feature, it does not have to be located from outside edges of the part. The outside edges of the part can be defined from the hole pattern and toleranced with a profile control. Using TOP to Control Spacing and Orientation of a Pattern of Holes

193. Multiple single segment TOP controls (contd.) This type of control when a hole pattern can have a large tolerance with respect to the outside edges of the pan, but requires a tighter tolerance for square ness and/or spacing within the hole pattern.
194. TOP with zero tolerance at MMC. There are three primary benefits to ZT at MMC: 1. It provides flexibility for manufacturing. 2. It prevents the rejection of usable parts. 3. It reduces manufacturing costs. Zero Tolerance (ZT) at MMC is a method of tolerance part features that includes the geometric tolerance value with the FOS tolerance and states a zero tolerance at MMC in the feature control frame.
