Abstract

Designers often lack important information about achievable manufacturing tolerances. Moreover tolerances are not considered from the beginning of product development. This often leads to inaccurately specified parts. Furthermore the full potential of the manufacturing departements is not used. This contribution tackles those areas by presenting a knowledge-based engineering workbench for automated tolerance specification, which has also been implemented using a commercial CAD system. This tool allows the designer to assign part tolerances that take into account the achievable accuracies for a specific manufacturing process, while at the same time allowing for specific part properties. The novelty of the presented approach can be found in the knowledge-based support of the product developers in tolerance specification by employing an engineering workbench. Moreover preprocessing for variation simulation and analysis is supported. It is possible to automate parts of the tolerance specification process, using the presented approach.
