design/manufacturing notes

[dbrlogan]

After moving to a new state I found that I no longer have my files of designs and design notes.
Can I have some samples of standard or suggested notes for my documentation for plastic parts and tooling? I work for a blow-molding company and I'm updating their drawings and need correct notes.

Thanks

Your new company should already have notes. Also, ask some of your vendors if they have any.

We also put all that stuff plus ASME screw thread specifications (so we don't have people checking threads with nuts and bolts), packaging, workmanship and other requirements into a quality manual that we provide to all our employees and suppliers who then must sign off that they read and understood it. Then we cite the manual on our drawings just in case we left anything out. Works well for us.

It was quite an eye-opener when we implemented this. We had vendors calling us saying things like "We don't have a copy of ASME B1.1 or ASME Y14.5" and our answer would be "Better go buy 'em, bub. Here's the website."

Very common. A lot of companies do not use the specs, or even care about them.

Either in the title block or in a note you'll want to specify what units you are using.

Haven't done much molded plastic parts, don't know if global surface roughness, burr removal etc is really relevant.

I like what John says about screw threads, definitely reference the spec if you have threads, even though the standard only recomends it.
