QUESTION / CONTEXTclean this up Ok I believe I understand now. The assembly I sent you a picture of is the one we are modifying and the attached are ones you just need us to reproduce. The biggest issue with simply reproducing the attached files are the plate sizes, we will need to update everything to American so we don't have fit up issues. For Example 3mm Plate is .1181 inches. We do not have that, the closest American standard material thickness is 11 Gauge steel at .1196 inches. It doesn't seem like much but for the attached P…
IMPORTANT GUIDANCE
- Here's a cleaner, more natural version: :::writing{variant="email" id="51284" subject="Assembly and Plate Thickness Clarification"} I believe I understand now.
- The assembly I sent you a picture of is the one we will be modifying, and the attached files are the components you would like us to reproduce.
- The biggest challenge with reproducing the attached files is the material thicknesses.
- We will need to convert everything to standard American material sizes to avoid fit-up issues during fabrication.
- For example, the drawings call for 3 mm plate, which is 0.1181" thick.
- That material thickness is not a standard size that we stock.
- The closest standard American material is 11 gauge steel, which is 0.1196" thick.
- While the difference is small, it can affect how the assembly fits together.
