Open frames and deep structural bodies
Product selection starts with the mounting geometry. Machining capacity and transport planning remain on the dedicated large-part service page.
Ribbed frames
Internal ribs connect the perimeter to mounting locations while preserving clearance for components.
Deep bodies with flanges
An end flange and side openings bring several interfaces into one body. Their datum relationship needs to be explicit.

Open frames connect several mounting faces
The photograph shows the actual open structure. Use the drawing to define the mating and locating requirements.
Continuous mounting rim
Review the mating surface, hole locations and any cover or adjoining component together.
Internal ribs and transitions
Identify the remaining section and clearance needed around ribs and corners.
Side-face openings
Define the relationship between side interfaces and the main mounting reference.
Deep cavities and end interfaces
A different structural family, reviewed against its own assembly requirement.
CAVITY & FLANGE
Connect the inner cavity to the flange interface
The supplied part combines a deep cavity, local pockets, side openings and a circular end interface. Review internal access and the relative position of the mounting features.
- Sections define depth, corner radii and remaining walls.
- Functional datums connect the flange, holes and faces.
- Finish, masking and acceptance state follow the order drawing.
Prepare the drawing for your structural part
The photographs identify structures; they do not establish measured dimensions or a universal tolerance.
- Part definition
- Model and sections, overall dimensions, wall/rib sections and estimated weight.
- Mounting relationships
- Reference faces, hole locations, adjoining components and functional fits.
- Material and finish
- Specified alloy/condition, appearance reference and protected interfaces.
- Receiving requirements
- Inspection state, quantity, delivery split and protective-packing needs.
Questions about frames and structural parts
Begin with the structure and its installation function.
Is every frame a large part?
No. A frame describes the geometry; overall size and setup space determine whether large-part manufacturing review is needed.
Can the dimensions be taken from the photograph?
Use an approved drawing or model. Photographs support discussion of structure, not dimensional acceptance.
Where can I review large-part machining capability?
The separate large-part service page explains the review envelope, workholding, datum transfer and transport considerations.
Need the manufacturing capability?
Review the machining envelope, support, setup transfers and protective delivery on the dedicated service page.

Define what matters on your drawing
Long mounting edges
- Drawing review
- Provide overall dimensions and functional mounting references.
- Inspection agreement
- Agree support points for checking long spans.
Multiple assembly interfaces
- Drawing review
- Review setup changes and references across the structure.
- Inspection agreement
- Relate hole groups and mating surfaces to agreed datums.
Handling and shipment
- Drawing review
- Identify sensitive edges, lifting needs and packing constraints.
- Inspection agreement
- Match part identification and protective packaging to the shipment.
Keep the drawing and report connected
Part number and revision → feature and datum → sample and batch → instrument and measured result. Agree the required records with the order.
