چکیده

The problem addressed in this paper is the development of a physico-mathematical basis for mechanical tolerances. The lack of such a basis has fostered a decoupling of design (function) and manufacturing. The groundwork for a tolerancing methodology is laid by a model of profile errors, whose components are justified by physical reasoning and estimated using mathematical tools. The methodology is then presented as an evolutionary procedure that harnesses the various tools, as required, to analyze profiles in terms of a minimum set of profile parameters and to re-generate them from the parameters. This equips the designer with a rational means for estimating performance prior to manuJ~zcturing, hence integrating design and manufacturing, The utility of the functional tolerancing methodology is demonstrated with performance simulations of a lathe-head-stock design,focusing on gear transmission with synthesized errors.

Optical 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...

Process-oriented tolerancing using the extended stream of variation model

Current works on process-oriented tolerancing for multi-station manufacturing processes (MMPs) have been mainly focused on allocating fixture tolerances to ensure part quality specifications at a minimum manufacturing cost. Some works have also included fixture maintenance policies into the tolerance allocation problem since they are related to both manufacturing cost and final part quality. Ho...
