Yes, in a cleanroom but not sure if gloves are worn.
The only place they will be touched by bare hands is in our manufacturing shop floor during the machine build phase. Post install they should not be seeing too many greasy hands.
Can anyone confirm if 304 is subject to corrosion due to handling by people.
Note that the 304 parts are on a machine that will be in a cleanroom environment.
We have chosen 316 but I believe 304 will be sufficient as the parts will not be in contact with any harsh chemicals. They might just...

There are several advantages to using a counterbore hole, including more holding strength. A counterbore usually has more holding strength compared to a countersink hole because the force applied by the socket cap...
In my head a counterbored hole provides more rigidity as the screwhead has a flat surface to screw up against.
Would I be right in my thinking or is it 6 of one and 1/2 a dozen of the other?
There might be between a hundred & several hundred in each station. One cannot really put a number on this as it varies from machine to machine.
Techs are given top level assemblies as well as station models.
I would think it is fairly obvious why we used a CAD viewer, if there are any queries...
So just to clarify, I work with a machine building company. We design and build bespoke machinery so almost everything is custom, rarely do we do anything that is the same.
So after design, we order all the tooling (very little made in-house). Machine is designed in stations (aka...
Thanks Dik. I was using SW Composer 2021 and I agree it's very good but in this case I need something a little less complex for assembly techs.
@JohnRBaker - the main purpose is to view 3D assembly files in order to be able to assemble a machine. The problem with eDrawings is it is extrmeley...
Can anyone recommend an alternative to eDrawings? Currently we use this on the shop floor to view machine stations/sub-assemblies during the build phase and it is killing the team of assembly technicians as it is so slow.
Has anyone used Glovius?
Thanks for all the feedback. It is a metric drawing template.
Arguments for each of the responses particularly as to why you would have a difference between 5.9 and 6.1 but as handleman pointed out, you should probably add an explicit tolerance anyway.
We're really just trying to find the...
Looking for a standard which will help me define what we should be putting down on our SolidWorks drawing template when it comes to general Linear and angular tolerances.
Currently as follows in mm:
X: +/-0.25
.X +/-0.1
.XX +/-0.05
.XXX +/-0.010
Which standard should I be looking...
