Abstract
This paper presents a method for tolerance balancing in machining process planning. The surface position tolerance (SPT) method offers several advantages in comparison with the tolerance charting technique. These advantages arise from the separate consideration of the datum and machining surface position capabilities. To solve the problem of tolerance balancing, the mathematical model used in the literature is adapted to the SPT method. When solving the problem, the objective of maximizing process tolerances was chosen. The proposal was applied to a problem that has been used by many authors in the literature and so a wide comparison can be made of the results. The solution enables the tolerances in the process to be improved and the solution can also be optimized with respect to the capability of the fixture.
