Towards easier and more functional semantics for geometrical tolerancing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Geometrical defects of a manufactured feature are limited by form, size and location tolerances. The standardized semantics of those tolerances, i.e. their interpretation on the manufactured feature, presents a lot of drawbacks. We propose new semantics, based on the fitting of a unique theoretical feature on the manufactured feature. The fitting criterion we propose, named minimum volume criterion, leads to the actual mating envelope of the manufactured feature. For some functional requirements the tolerancing shown to become simpler and more functional.

Virtual gauge representation for geometric tolerances in CAD-CAM systems
The CAD software seeks to represent the syntax of the geometric tolerances, i.e. their writing on the drawings. We propose to represent their semantics, i.e. their meaning with respect to the part. We show that the meaning of the geometric tolerances can be defined thanks to a model of virtual gauges. These gauges concern geometrical entities of the part which are represented on the three-dimen...
متن کاملGeometrical product specifications - model for product life cycle
As technology increases and performance requirements continually tighten, the cost and required precision of assemblies increase as well. There exists a strong need for increased attention to tolerance design to enable high-precision assemblies to be manufactured at lower cost. For automotive and aircraft industries, the tolerancing process has become an important issue in product and process d...
متن کاملEffect of the Workpiece Position on the Manufacturing Tolerances
Manufacturing tolerancing is intended to determine the intermediate geometrical and dimensional states of the part during its manufacturing process. These manufacturing dimensions also serve to satisfy not only the functional requirements given in the definition drawing, but also the manufacturing constraints, for example geometrical defects of the machine, vibration and the wear of the cutting...
متن کاملCad-based Dimensional and Geometrical Tolerancing Implementation by the Use of Virtual Gages: a Case Study
Physical gages permit verification with low uncertainties but remain expensive and inflexible. With the development of 3D CAD modellers and the progress made in coordinate measuring machines, the concept of the virtual gage appeared. The paper focuses on the implementation rather than the inspection of dimensional and geometrical tolerancing in 3D-CAD models of mechanical assemblies by the use ...
متن کاملGeometrical Specification Model for Gear - Expression, Metrology and Analysis
To ensure the gear precision, industries need a coherent model to express, to analyse and to check geometrical specifications. Most gear tolerance representations are directly driven by the convenience of dimensional metrology and not by the convenience of the set of activities of the tolerancing process. Therefore, to ensure the coherence of all tolerancing process activities, there is a neces...
