Welding spot pattern shall match weld study. 

 

2.1.4.                                             

Screws and dowels shall be shown in the section views and the pattern of same in plan view of the design, with dimensions of the fasteners and dowels.

 

2.1.5.                                             

All drawings, including controls drawings, are to use AZ Automotive assigned station numbers. These numbers will be assigned during initial process reviews.

 

2.1.6.                                             

The weight of individual details shall be calculated and indicated on the detail sheet.

 

2.1.7.                                             

The total weight of the tool must be calculated and indicated on the assembly drawings.

 

2.1.8.                                             

Full-size sections must be reviewed through all clamping areas, welding areas, and location points, including gun tips and possible gun/torch interference points.

 

2.1.9.                                             

All clamps, guns, and movable units must be shown in open and closed position. Arc of travel must also be indicated.

 

2.1.10.                                          

All operator load envelopes must be shown.

 

2.1.11.                                          

All sensors shall be specified on the controls drawings. These sensors shall be shown in the mechanical drawings to verify clearances.

 

2.1.12.                                          

Title blocks on electronic drawings should show the following:
- AZ Automotive Corp.
- Part number of assembly.
- Operation number..

 

2.2.            Dimensions

 

2.2.1.                                             

Datum line all machine dimensions.

 

2.2.2.                                             

All drilled holes, tapped holes, dowel holes to be located and Datum line dimensioned.

 

2.2.3.                                             

Center lines, starting points, and setup dimension must be shown in (3) directions - to front "O" line, to bottom "O" line and to centerline of body.

 

2.2.4.                                             

Details shall be dimensioned so that fabrication or machining requires no extra work or calculating for construction.

 

 

2.3.            Detail Identification Format

 

2.3.1.                                             

Where separate right hand/left hand symmetrically opposite fixtures are to be built, the same detail number will normally be part of both fixtures. The stock list has right and left hand columns to indicate this. The right hand detail and left hand detail do not take unique detail numbers unless they are NOT symmetrically opposite.

 

Example of identification requirements on detail sheets when detail IS symmetrically opposite.

2.3.2.                                             

Refer to NAAMS Assembly & Fabrication Book - Section A for design drawing standards.

 

 

2.4.            Installation Drawing

 

2.4.1.                                             

The Supplier shall provide an installation drawing for each tool.  The installation drawings shall include layout of press, fixture and all related equipment, including balcony, service drops, shuttles, control panels (with WD numbers), weld control panels, I/O panels, power and interface panels, consoles, hydraulic units, safety fencing, light screens, safety mats, emergency stop push-buttons, cycle stop push-buttons, cycle start push-buttons, cable tray and adjacent fixture where applicable. The drawings must include all dimensions and match marks necessary to permit the installation of equipment, as well as tooling.

 

This Installation drawing shall include a plan view.  Additional elevation views, layers and/or sections shall be provided as required.

 

Installation drawing must show operator, and all material at each operator station.

 

A unique layer shall be provided in the plan view to record Controls Design information. This layer will depict the zones of control for WD's, all stops (Emergency and Cycle), and PLC's. Additional controls-specific information may be recorded in this layer as determined beneficial. This layer shall be developed as the data is defined and kept current through the course of the project.

 

A unique layer shall be provided to record safety requirements and direction determined during Safety Reviews. This layer will be a location to record important elements necessary to satisfy safety requirements and provide a visual representation to supplement Safety Review minutes. This layer shall be developed as the data is defined and kept current through the course of the project.

 

Completed Installation Drawings shall be submitted to AZ Automotive Manufacturing Engineer for approval two (2) weeks prior to shipment of the tooling.

An AZ Automotive Manufacturing Engineer’s signature is required for approval of all Installation Drawings.

 

2.5.            3D Drawings

2.5.1.

3D drawings must be provided as requested by the AZ Automotive Corp. Manufacturing Engineer, for modeling purposes.

 

2.6.            Replaceable Parts

2.6.1.                                             

Drawings of non-standard NAAMS replaceable parts, such as pins, wear pads, bumpers, etc. must be provided in an 11”x 17” format for maintenance activities.
