Securing Component Function
The geometry of a component is only perfect in its CAD model. To limit inevitable deviations, size and geometrical tolerances are used. Tolerances, therefore, specify the permissible geometric deviations. Sensible tolerancing primarily pursues one goal: to secure the function of the part! The drawing should be understood as an “inspection drawing.” If the part is measured according to the drawing and meets all tolerances, it should follow that the component’s function is OK. Are you confident that this is the case for your drawings?
ISO GPS
International rules for tolerancing are defined in the ISO GPS (Geometrical Product Specification) standards. They provide the theoretical basis for unambiguous specification. Knowing these rules is essential for anyone working with technical drawings. However, the standards have grown to an extent that is no longer fully manageable for every designer. Therefore, for complex issues, it makes sense to rely on the experience of specialists.
Our Services
- Consideration of geometrical tolerances in tolerance simulation
- Consulting on the selection of reference systems and standard-compliant tolerancing of functionally critical geometry
- Garbage in - Garbage out: If the dimensioning is incomplete, the tolerance simulation will not produce usable results. We think ahead from the very beginning and point out optimization potential in the drawings to the design team.
