tolerances and FracRack module width

2009-02-22 by David Ingebretsen

I have a couple of questions about tolerances on FracRack panels I want to send to Schafer.

 

1.       What tolerance is typically specified for width, holes, etc.?

2.       How much smaller should I make the board to allow assembly?

 

I saw some specs. on a FracRack panel:

 

Deburr outside edges, do not round corners

Light grain, black anodize

tolerances: +/- 0.010 in

Holes +/- 0.005 in

 

Are these reasonable?

 

Should I just design the panel to be 0.010 inches smaller in width?

 

Thanks

 

David
