Toward the Use of Statistical Analysis in Positional Tolerancing

  • Conference paper
Integrated Design and Manufacturing in Mechanical Engineering

Abstract

In this paper, a novel method of positional tolerance analysis is discussed. These tolerances are critical in the assembly analysis. The statistical approach is introduced and its performance is evaluated on a best case study. Industries claim that statistical tolerance analysis is necessary in order to perform a a reduction of the cost of manufacturing, assembly and inspection process. Some applications are given to highlight the advantages of our statistical approach.
