Position Control

GD&T 3 - Position

Most powerful and versatile control in GD&T


Capitalizes on MMC bonus tolerances
Can be used to :
Locate patterns of holes
Locate center of feature (e.g. slot)
Control perpendicularity of holes, etc.

Easy to check with functional gages


Insures proper fit of assemblies
