Abstract
A tolerance synthesis provides the distribution of tolerances on the functional specifications of parts for a mechanism, with the objective of satisfying a set of functional requirements. This approach involves adjusting the nominal dimensions of parts. The present article offers a six-step solution within an Excel solver environment. The designer is able to control the optimization process using a dashboard. The initial steps detect conflicting requirements and suggest compromises, while the subsequent steps optimize the nominal part dimensions in order to maximize mechanism quality with minimum tolerance. The final steps then seek to maximize tolerances with the aim of minimizing costs. The proposed method can also manage specifications with both maximum and minimum material requirements.
