What is a Detail Drawing?

A detail drawing is an engineering document that contains all the necessary information to describe and manufacture a single component. It is a critical part of the engineering design process, ensuring that every aspect of a part is clearly communicated to manufacturers and other stakeholders.

Key Elements of Our Detail Drawings

Orthogonal Views

  • Definition: Orthogonal views are 2D representations of a component from different angles (front, top, side).
  • Requirement: We ensure enough views are provided to adequately describe the component. This typically includes three views but can be customized based on complexity.

Dimensions

  • Placement: Dimensions are evenly distributed and structured to avoid duplication and clutter. They clearly indicate the size and location of features, facilitating accurate manufacturing.

Scale

  • Definition: Scale indicates the size of the drawing relative to the actual component.
  • Common Scales: We use a range of scales suitable for different purposes:
    • Full Size: 1:1
    • Enlargement: 2:1, 5:1, etc.
    • Reduction: 1:2, 1:5, etc.
  • Placement: The scale is clearly stated within the title block of our drawings.

Projection Type

  • 3rd Angle Projection: This is the standard projection type we use, ensuring uniformity and clarity in interpreting views.

Drafting Standard

  • AS1100 Compliance: Our drawings adhere to the Australian Standard AS1100, ensuring uniformity and clarity across all drawings.

Title, Drawing Number, and Dimensional Units

  • Title: Indicates the name of the component.
  • Drawing Number: A unique identifier for each part, aiding in easy tracking and reference.
  • Dimensional Units: Typically in millimeters or inches, depending on client requirements.

Tolerances

  • Definition: The permissible limit of variation in a physical dimension.
  • Importance: Specifies the acceptable range for features, ensuring parts fit and function correctly.

Surface Texture and Treatments

  • Surface Texture: Symbols that specify the required smoothness or roughness of surfaces.
  • Treatments: Includes coatings or tempers, ensuring the component meets specific functional and durability requirements.

Material Specifications

  • Importance: Clearly states the material of the component, which is crucial for manufacturing and performance.

Names and Dates

  • Signatories: Includes initials or names of the drafter, checker, and approver, along with dates, ensuring accountability and traceability.

Zone Reference System

  • Purpose: A grid system to facilitate locating specific features, especially useful on larger sheets.

Revisions and Modifications

  • Tracking Changes: Revisions indicate modifications, reasons, and dates, ensuring clarity on updates and design development.

Drawing Sheet Sizes

  • Standard Sizes: A0, A1, A2, A3, A4. We use sizes appropriate for the project scope and printing facilities.

Company and Sheet References

  • Company Name: Indicates KEVOS.COM as the service provider.
  • Sheet Reference: For multi-sheet drawings, includes total number of sheets and their sequence.

Our Process

  1. Consultation: Understand client requirements and project scope.
  2. Drafting: Create initial detail drawings based on provided specifications.
  3. Review and Feedback: Client reviews the drawings and provides feedback.
  4. Revisions: Implement any necessary changes based on client feedback.
  5. Finalization: Finalize the drawings and prepare them for delivery.

Case Study: Wall Bracket Drawing

To illustrate our process and the quality of our detail drawings, we present a case study of a wall bracket drawing. This example includes:

  • Three orthogonal views for comprehensive description.
  • Clearly placed dimensions and scales.
  • Indication of third angle projection and compliance with AS1100.
  • Detailed specifications including material, surface texture, and treatments.
