Usually manufacturing invloves creating a part from a blueprint and/or CAD model/drawing. Reverse engineering does the opposite and hence the name. Depending on the requirement, Datum provides its customers with anything from simple point entities; to lines, arcs and splines; to a complete surface or solid model. Why Do We Need to Reverse Engineer? ¥ No CAD models exist for the part ¥ Need to modify existing products ¥ Create documentation for custom built parts ¥ Need to manufacture discontinued product lines ¥ Need to supplement inadequate quantities of a product from a manufacturer DatumÕs Reverse Engineering Methodology: 1. Determine type of entities required by customer 2. Gather data using a measuring machine 3. Import the data into a CAD system 4. Generate entities per step 1 5. Create a surface model 6. Bring surface model into a dimensional analysis software 7. Import point data from step 2 into the dimensional analysis software to verify integrity of the reverse engineered model METROLOGY SALES Datum is the exclusive representative for Mitutoyo CMMs, Video Systems, and Form Instruments in Arizona, New Mexico, and El Paso.

If your inspection department is concerned with adherence to specification and achieving a faster thru-put on the CMM, TRU-POS LOCATORS are as fundamenatal as the probe itself. As the misuse of gagepins, screw heads or tap shanks for determining tapped hole location does not reference the pitch diameter, an "in-tolerance" hole may seem "out-of-tolerance." Correct gaging methods insure against inaccurate readings. Special threads or variations of stock components are available on special order. Accuracy: ¥ The finely ground threads are sized to .0001" (0.0025mm) under a class 2B go thread gage with a -.0003" (-0.0075mm) tolerance. ¥ The head diameter and the internal center are concentric to the pitch diameter within .0002" TIR (.005mm). ¥ Certification of Calibration available to provide documentation of actual tolerance. Two Styles: ¥ The standard straight-thread design is for determining tapped hole location when the locator can be seated on a flat surface. ¥ When the part surface is irregular or cast, the tapered style allows the locator to be inserted and tightened on the tapered pitch diameter.
