    A comparison between a methodological statistical approach and a commercial software for evaluating tolerance chains

    No full text
    This paper reports two different approaches to the analysis of tolerance chains. A simple part is considered and a functional dimensioning scheme is described. Then, an analysis of the tolerances is performed with a commercial software package and with a methodological statistical procedure. In particular, the procedure proposed can be summarised into two main steps. First, each single technological operation (for example, the drilling of a hole) is simulated by extracting, from a statistical distribution typical of the machine tool, the parameters characteristic of the manufacturing procedure. Then, a simulation is performed, to verify if the real features of the part can simultaneously fit the virtual gage. This method of acceptance/rejection of a part is according to the ISO/ASME standards and is representative of the real functional requirements of the part

    In this paper a soft gage is built for checking the tolerances of a cylindrical feature on a plate controlled by three datum reference planes. It is verified that the points of the feature lay within the boundary of a virtual gage, which is represented as the locus of the inner/outer points of a circle for a cylindrical feature (holes and pins) and as the locus of the inner/outer points of two parallel segments for a feature composed by two opposite faces (slots and tabs). We report the algorithms, in part updated from previous papers, and an application to a plate with three datum reference planes and with a hole qualified by a position tolerance. Unlike in the previous work, in this application we consider the tolerance with the MMC modifier. The results obtained are compared and discussed to establish which ones better correspond to the real assembly of the part

    Un approccio Problem Solving alle tolleranze dimensionali e geometriche

    In this paper we propose a problem solving approach to the dimensional and geometric tolerances. This approach starts from simple geometrical remarks concerning the functional/ assembly characteristics of a part. It assigns the geometric tolerances to the features by a method that connects the degrees of freedom to the measurements. For instance, the contact of a face on a plane, which cancels three degrees of freedom, allows the measurement of the forbidden translation (distance of a point, an axis, or a plane from the contact plane of the face) and the measurements of the forbidden rotations (angles between an axis or a plane and the contact plane of the face). Points, axes and planes are associated with features: a point to a spherical feature, an axis to a hole/shaft feature, a plane to a slot/tab feature or to a face. We have chosen the envelope mode to avoid the introduction of the spines related to the determination of central lines and median surfaces
