Title
Rational method for 3D manufacturing tolerancing synthesis based on the TTRS approach "R3DMTSyn"
Abstract
During the production of new part in an industrial environment, it results in a high percentage of scrap if manufacturing planning is not carried out properly. One of the major factors responsible for this phenomenon is tolerance synthesis. In this paper, we deal with tolerance synthesis, and especially tolerance type identified after transfer. An algorithmic Rational method for 3D Manufacturing Tolerancing Synthesis (R3DMTSyn), which is based on the use of the Technologically and Topologically Related Surface (TTRS) rules, is developed. The TTRS concept helps to generate only the necessary manufacturing specification needed to guarantee the respect of the functional specification studied. The manufacturing project is modeled by a graphical representation called the SPIDER GRAPH. With the SPIDER GRAPH, all active surfaces can be detected (machined and positioning surfaces), so it is possible to identify the location of the functional surfaces used in each functional specification. The construction or the determination of the tolerancing torsor, belonging to each active surface, contributes to the selection of the adequate case of associations. A semantic study is already done to identify all possible combinations or associations needed to locate surfaces during each phases. Finally, referring to the developed TTRS_Cars_Process and in every phase, one or more manufacturing specifications are generated until finishing the treatment of all surfaces (surface belonging to the functional condition, or intermediate surfaces).
