AME Scroll Standards

Procedure

When To Assign A New Number

All production parts should receive an AMES part number.

Production part numbers should be used whenever a component is intended to be used in a production environment.

If you are using a model of a purchased component, you should still give that part an AMES number and note the manufacturer and manufacturer part number in the part model parameters.

Examples of where you would assign an AMES part number:

Designing a new polishing fixture for a scroll that is "Limited" released

Using a purchased part from McMaster-Carr in an assembly

Model from a chuck supplier that you want in Teamcenter

Conceptual parts do NOT require an AMES number

Conceptual part numbers should be used when the model/print being generated is not intended to be ready for production use.

A conceptual part number should never be used in a production environment.

If you want to use an existing conceptual part in production, you should assign that part an AMES number and clone the conceptual part.

<emphasis role="strong">NOTE:</emphasis> After cloning, the concept part number will still exist

It is OK to generate conceptual part number prints and sent them out to quote. However, it should only be used for non-production purposes.

Examples of where you would assign a concept part number:

You need a "dummy" model for a simulation that will serve as a visual representation

You are designing platforms for an operator to stand on and you want to quote several different options to evaluate cost.

You need to design a temporary fixture to machine some prototype scrolls

Regardless if you are using a conceptual or production part number, if you create a PDF or DWG and deliver it to someone for quoting or other purposes "Final" status that part BEFORE sending it out.

If a change is made after sending a part out, it should be revised and the changes noted.

It is up to the owning user to maintain revision control on created drawings.

A part number should be assigned prior to the start of modeling or before cloning an existing component

Both concept and production part numbers should be created and stored within Teamcenter.

Before Assigning A Production Part Number

Verify that the part does not already exist. This could be done either by using the search functions within Teamcenter or downloading a GDPNS (<link xlink:href="http://gdpns.emersonclimate.com/">http://gdpns.emersonclimate.com/</link>) search to Excel and using the "Find" command.

If the part that you need already exists, DO NOT assign a new number. Duplicate numbers of the same part should always be avoided.

If the part already exists in Teamcenter in a different CAD system than what you are currently using, then you should create a new revision for the CAD system you are using under the same Item ID. Do not create a new Item ID number.

Production Part Number Nomenclature

The part number consists of 13 characters. It is divided into separate clusters of numbers by dashes. Example: AMES-###-X###-## Cluster 1 Cluster 2 Cluster 3 AMES ### X### ##

Cluster 1 (###) - Indicates the type type of part Value(s) Type 201-288 Assembly, Sub-Assembly, and Component Parts 289 Templates 290 Plant Level Drawings 291 Cell Level Drawings 292 System Level Drawings

Please reference Document XXXX for assigning the correct "Cluster 1" number

If you feel the need to add a new "Cluster 1" number, please contact members of the standards team with your need and reason for the addition.

Cluster 2 (X###)

The first character (X) of this series is an alpha character that further defines the "Cluster 1" series into a Sub-Series

The next three digits are assigned in sequential order of the next available number.

Please reference Document XXXX for assigning the correct "Cluster 2" alpha character

If you feel you need to add a new "Cluster 2" alpha character, please contact a member of the standards team with your need and reason for the addition.

Cluster 3 (##)

These digits range from 00-69 and further define the "Cluster 2" part number. Although not commonly used in scroll machining, numbers greater than 69 have specific meanings in other departments within Emerson Climate Technologies and should not be used in scroll machining.

See Appendix A for a list of available "Cluster 1" and "Cluster 2" alpha numbers.

Generally speaking, the 00 should be the assembly, and 01, 02, 03, etc. would be component parts of the assembly.

How To Reserve A New Production Part Number

All new part numbers are reserved via GDPNS (<link xlink:href="http://gdpns.emersonclimate.com/">http://gdpns.emersonclimate.com/</link>)

If you do not have a GDPNS account, please contact the GDPNS coordinator. (Curently Mary Ubach)

Prior to assigning a number, you need to determine if it will be created as a new part number series (Cluster 2), or as a new dash number (Cluster 3).

When reserving a new part number series or dash number, you will be asked to fill in the required information.

Title - (Required) - This field should match the "Part Name" of the component

Description - (Required) - This field should match the "Part Description" of the component. It should contain more detail than what was entered for the "Title".

If the component you are creating a new part number for is a purchased part, the manufacturer and the manufacturer part number should be included in the description field.

Reference - (Not Required) - This field is not used by Scroll Machining and should be left blank

CAD System - (Required) - This specifies the CAD software that the component is modeled in.

Layout Reference - (Not Required) - This field is not used by Scroll Machining and should be left blank.

How To Reserve A New Concept Part Number

A new concept part number will be generated by Teamcenter when the concept part is created.

When you create a new model in NX, next to the number field there is an "Assign" button that should be used to generate a new 6-digit concept part number.

After assigning the new part number, be sure to assign an appropriate Item Name and "000" for the Revision.

Naming Key: Concept parts will be assigned a unique 6 digit number. Numbers are assigned by Teamcenter.

The same model rules as production parts will apply with "IP Classification" being the only required field.

<emphasis role="strong">Note:</emphasis> Because the concept part number has no intelligence, filling in the "Item Name" and "Description" fields for concept parts is important so that users can use these field’s values to search for them in Teamcenter.

<emphasis role="strong">Note:</emphasis> Creating a folder structure inside your Teamcenter "New Stuff" folder is recommended to keep projects together.
