Defining tolerances in assembly process
نویسنده
چکیده
Analysis and allocation of tolerance are the typical problems in tolerance planning for the assembly and its components. This paper presents the developed simulator which is able to assist in solving tolerance planning problems in production processes, both in manufacturing and assembly processes. The paper also shows the benefits of this simulator which leads to quality characterisation and improvement, cost reduction and shorter design and planning phases.

The Comparison of Imperialist Competitive Algorithm Applied and Genetic Algorithm for Machining Allocation of Clutch Assembly (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The allocation of design tolerances between the components of a mechanical assembly and manufacturing tolerances can significantly affect the functionality of products and related production costs. This paper introduces Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) approach to solve the machining tolerance allocation of an overrunning clutch assembly. The objective is to obtain optimum tolerances of...
متن کاملOptical Design Tolerancing
David Hasenauer, CODE V Product Manager Introduction During the design of any optical system destined to be manufactured, it is critical to define a fabrication and assembly budget. This budget must consider any potential compensation that will be used during the manufacturing process to mitigate the performance degradation introduced by fabrication variations. It is important to specify the be...
متن کاملParametric Tolerance Analysis of Mechanical Assembly Using FEA and Cost Competent Tolerance Synthesis Using Neural Network
Tolerance design plays an important role in the modern design process by introducing quality improvements and limiting manufacturing costs. Tolerance synthesis is a procedure that distributes assembly tolerances between components or distributes final part design tolerances between related tolerances. Traditional tolerance design assumes that all objects have rigid geometry, overlooking the rol...

Cost and product quality are significant attributes in manufacturing processes, such as multistation assembly. We use multiobjective optimization for integrated tolerance allocation and fixture layout design to address their interaction and to quantify tradeoffs among cost, product quality, and assembly process robustness. Design decisions relate to product tolerances, assembly process toleranc...
متن کاملCAD model parameterisation to derive knowledge useful for manufacturing design decisions
This paper presents a number of novel approaches for deriving intelligence from the parameterisation of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models to assist the engineer in making manufacturing related decisions. During the design process a disjoint can occur between the nominally defined CAD feature parameters and the dimensions which govern manufacture and influence ease of product assembly. In this ...
