What are manufacturing drawings?
Fabrication drawings are an essential component in the production of structural steel and engineering projects. They represent a detailed representation of the planned design and show the necessary information required to manufacture the components. The drawings contain specific information such as material types, dimensions, tolerances, surface finish, weld details and splits. Manufacturing drawings are necessary to plan the manufacture of the components, to order the necessary materials and to coordinate the manufacturing process.
Who creates production drawings?
Manufacturing drawings can be provided by internal design offices or external design offices to be created. As a rule, larger companies have their own design office that creates manufacturing drawings for their own projects. Small and medium-sized companies often do not have the resources to run their own design office and turn to external design offices to create the manufacturing drawings. External design offices have the advantage of being able to access a wider range of customers and projects and being able to offer specialized services such as the creation of production drawings for special machine construction.
Why are manufacturing drawings important?
Manufacturing drawings are essential to the effective and accurate manufacture of structural steel and engineering projects. They allow manufacturers to understand exactly what to make and how to make it. By using manufacturing drawings, errors can be avoided as each step of the manufacturing process is clearly illustrated. In addition, manufacturing drawings are essential for quality assurance and certification of components. If manufacturing certified components is required, the manufacturing drawings must meet all requirements of the relevant standards and legislation. For example, structural steel components manufactured for use in Europe must meet EN 1090 requirements. Manufacturing drawings are also an important part of project management. They allow manufacturers to track the progress of the project and ensure that all components are manufactured on time.
What information do production drawings contain?
Manufacturing drawings contain a variety of information required to manufacture the components. Here is some of the key information that may be included on the drawings:
- Dimensions and Tolerances: Dimensions are given on the drawings to ensure components are cut to the correct size. Tolerances indicate how much deviation from the dimensions is acceptable.
- Materials: The type and quality of material to be used in the manufacture of the components is indicated on the drawings. This is important to ensure the components have the required strength and durability.
- Surface finish: The drawings indicate what type of surface treatment is required on the components to prevent rusting and other damage.
- Welding Details: The drawings contain detailed information about the welded joints, including the welding process, the welding wire, the welding position and the weld shape.
- Separations: The drawings show where the components need to be separated to get the desired shape.
