Industry: plant machinery

## Information supplied

- Part function requirements
- Material specification
- Machining tolerance requirements

## CAD work prepared

- Machined spindle plate design
- Manufacturing drawing information
- Tolerance-defined boss detail

## Challenge

This part needed to move from design into manufacture with the material, machined shape and boss detail controlled closely enough for the intended fit.

## Clarke CAD scope

Clarke CAD designed and drew the spindle plates in 6082-T6 aluminium, defining the key geometry and the boss tolerance range needed for manufacture.

## Deliverables

- Machined spindle plate design package
- 2D drawing information for manufacture
- Tolerance callout for the boss using a g6 range of minus 0.010 mm to minus 0.029 mm for pairing with an h7 hole

## Outcome

The finished part shows a clean transition from CAD to manufacture, with the material choice and tolerance-defined boss captured clearly enough for machining.
