ISO Mechanical drawing standards

ISO 1101 Drawings Geometrical tolerancing Covers all non-optical aspects of drawings Datums related to kinematic design Symbols used for feature tolerances Tolerance frames and zones Theoretically exact dimensions Maximum material condition

ISO 5460 Geometrical tolerancing Deals with the verification of dimensions Meaning of a tolerance zone Realizations of planes, lines & points as datums Ordering of datums for measurements Methods of measuring feature characteristics

Establishing datums for measurement

It is ok to use shims to stabilize the part being measured Using shims changes the righthand case into the lefthand case

Establishing datums - points

A sphere is a physical realization of a point which is an idealization Properties of a sphere let you infer where the point (center) is in space

11

Establishing datums - lines

The cylindrical mandrel is a realization of a line, the axis of the cylinder The OD of the tube can be measured relative to the cylindrical mandrel As an example

12

Establishing datums - axes

Use of external features to establish an axis A good (air bearing) rotary table is an excellent way of establishing an axis
Copyright R. E. Parks 2009 13

Order of using datums

Use the primary (A) datum first unless datums reversed in tolerance frame Apparent hole location will vary with choice of primary datum

Verification of straightness

15

Verification of flatness

An optical example in a mechanical standard! Many mechanical methods are also shown including using an autocollimator

Copyright R. E. Parks 2009

16

Verification of a profile

Use of a template, something used in optical fabrication

ISO 10110 Optical Drawings Part 1 - General

Covers features on drawings unique to optics Optical axis line types Hatching Leaders dot end to regions
Arrowhead to edges

Clear apertures (effective) Test regions

Copyright R. E. Parks 2009 18

Dimensioning radius of curvature

Head of arrow points away from center of curvature, always Helps identify CC or CX when surfaces are near plane The entire radius tolerance can be incorporated in the dimension There are other ways of tolerancing radius, but this way is valid R designates a plane surface, the tolerance is specified using Part 5

Other optics specific details

Center thickness is indicated as shown For meniscus lenses the total thickness should be shown as well in parenthesis Diameters should be indicated along with the tolerance as shown Clear aperture is indicated with the e Bevels are functional and fully dimensioned Chamfers are protective, given by face width Sharp edges as in prism vertices are indicated

Copyright R. E. Parks 2009

20

Prisms dimensions and angles

Prisms with small or protective chamfers are dimensioned to theoretical sharp edges, make clear by adding theor. Surfaces are identified by Roman letters Angles indicated and toleranced Angles between faces and E are pyramidal errors

Sub-assemblies
Include parts numbers of separate elements Indicate materials (cement) used in assembly Dimensions or tolerances specific to sub-assembly Other requirements for sub-assembly (focal length) The 4/1 is a centering tolerance relative to datums Center thickness applies to sub-assembly
