Funktionsorientiertes Toleranzdesign

As accurate as necessary, but no more: The path to optimum tolerance specification

Tolerances are target specifications for production dimensions. Compliance with them is intended to ensure the function of the product. Here, there is a constant competition between conflicting requirements, namely between the highest possible accuracy and the lowest possible costs. This book shows you how to define meaningful tolerances on the basis of the function.
can be defined. You will find many starting points and suggestions to optimize your own approach:

• a process for defining the tolerance concept
• a process for collecting requirements
• Description and representation of functions
• planning of joining sequence and manufacturing process
• take-up, alignment and references
• Analysis of the tolerance concept
• Application examples

This book explains the most important basics in an easy-to-understand manner for beginners. The experienced reader will find his way to the correct measurement through the methodology of function-oriented tolerancing, both for the developer and the manufacturer.
In the 2nd edition, the changes in relevant standards have been taken into account (ISO 1101, ISO 1660, ISO 5458). The explanations of references and tolerance types have been significantly expanded and new practical examples have been added.
