== How To Submit Parts for Fabrication At Harris ==
 
Follow the steps below for proper modeling and submittal of parts. It is critical to understand the type of part that is being made (sheetmetal or machined) as this will dictate the model generation along with the types of files that will be required in order to physically make the part.
 
If you have any questions, please ask Amy Averill (aaverill ---AT--- harris --DOT-- com).

Updates to Making Sheet Metal Parts for Harris

Harris Standards:

Thicknesses:  .062, .093, .125

Bend Radius:  0.032

We need two types of drawings for Harris:

  1. pdf
  2. dxf

pdf files – Step by Step Creation:

  1. Open the “[year] Part and Assembly File Log” on the Google Drive ([year]/[year] Build Season folder) and sign up for the part drawing you are about to make.  Note, it must have a “Y” or “Yes” in the “Mentor approved to Make Drawing” column.
  2. Open Inventor – you will be using this as a tool to make the .pdf file.  We do not need to send the Inventor .ipw file to Harris.
  3. Open the “2015 Drawing template” in the [year] Build Season (ROBOT)/06 Drawings folder and immediately SAVE AS your part drawing.  If you SAVE A COPY AS instead of SAVE AS please remember you will need to then close the template and open your part drawing before changing anything in the file.
    1. Fill in the Title Block
      1. Title should match exactly the Part and Assembly File Log title beginning with the part number.
      2. Date:  This must be updated each time the part is sent – it tracks revisions.
      3. Name of student
      4. Name of mentor who has reviewed the drawing.
    2. Edit the text in the lower right
      1. Number of parts per robot
      2. Size of material using Harris standards (see top of this page)
    3. Open the model part file (it must be open to place it).
    4. Check that the model file has sheet metal defaults as follows:
      1. Unfold rule is “Harris Shop”
      2. Thickness if Harris standard (see top of page).
    5. Place views as you normally would to best represent the part.  Include an ISOMETRIC view.
      1. Dimension Overall length, width and height of the part
      2. Dimension all hole diameters – precision to three places
      3. For holes of the same size in the same area, use the “x 4” type of notation to indicate multiple hole locations
          1. Exceptions:  Do not dimension rivet holes
          2. Do not dimension parts with excessive amounts of holes (check with a mentor)
          1. Dimension each bend – height and angles other that 90 degrees
          1. Save the drawing to the 06 Drawings folder
        2. Save the drawing as a .pdf file:
          1. EXPORT as a PDF
          2. Save it to the 06 Drawings/HARRIS PDF DXF FILES folder
            1. When sent to Harris, they will be moved into a “sent [date]” folder.

         

        .dxf Files – Step by Step Creation:

         

        1. Start a new standard .idw file in Inventor.  If possible, pick on with no border.  If there is a border:
          1. Delete the border and any other lines on the sheet before proceeding.
        2. Go to BASE, select the model file, and place the “Flat Pattern” view on the sheet.
          1. If it says it is not available, go to the model file and create the flat (unbent) view of the part.
          2. Make sure your scale is 1:1
          3. Adjust sheet size as needed so that the entire part is on the sheet.
        3. Save the drawing:
          1. Go to SAVE A COPY AS and change the “file types” to .dxf
          2. Click the “OPTIONS” button to the left of SAVE
          3. The OPTIONS menu will appear.  Click on the drop down menu called “File Versions” and select “AutoCAD 2000/LT2000 DXF”.
          4. Without changing any other settings, click “Next” and then click :Finish”
          5. Save it in the 06/Drawings/HARRIS PDF DXF file.
        4. Open AutoCAD.
          1. Open the .dxf file you just made.  You may need to change file type to .dxf to see your file
          2. Delete any dashed bend lines (click on the line with the mouse and hit the delete button).
          3. Save the file – Be sure to keep the same version:  “AutoCAD 2000/LT2000 DXF” from the drop down menu.
        5. Update Part & Assembly File Log on Google Drive
