Classification of Drawings
Classification of Drawings
MACHINE DRAWING:
It is pertaining to machine parts or components.
It is presented through a number of orthographic views,
so that the size and shape of the component is fully
understood.
Partdrawings and assembly drawings belong to this
classification
An example of a machine drawing is given in
PRODUCTION DRAWING
A production drawing, also referred to as
working drawing.
It should furnish all the dimensions,limits and
special finishing processes such as heat
treatment, honing, surface finish,etc., to guide
the craftsman in producing the component.
The title should also mention the material
used for the product, number of parts
required for the assembled unit, etc.
LIMITS ,TOLERANCES AND FITS
The manufacture of interchangeable parts
require precision.
Precision is the degree of accuracy to ensure the
functioning of a part as intended.
However, experience shows that it is impossible
to make parts economically to the exact
dimensions. This may be due to,(i) inaccuracies of
machines and tools, (ii) inaccuracies in setting
the work to the tool, and (iii) error in
measurement, etc.

Geometrical tolerance
Geometrical tolerance is defined as the maximum
permissible overall variation of form or position of a
feature.
Geometrical tolerances are used,
(i) to specify the required accuracy in controlling the
form of a feature,
(ii) to ensure correct functional positioning of the
feature,
(iii) to ensure the interchangeability of components,
and
(iv) to facilitate the assembly of mating components.
TOLERANCE ZONE
It is an imaginary area or volume within which
the controlled feature of the manufactured
component must be completely contained
DATUM
DATUM FEATURE
A datum feature is a feature of a part, such as
an edge, surface, or a hole, which forms the
basis for a datum or is used to establish its
location
