Topics: Quality, Safety & Maintenance Documentation , Design Engineering and Styling
Analysis of tolerance stacks varies widely. This web course introduces the basic tools to create a common methodology for tolerance stack-ups, and ensure seamless documentation. Participants will create 1-D tolerance stacks for parts and assemblies that use geometric dimensioning and tolerancing using a tolerance stack spreadsheet. This simple, manual spreadsheet method produces an easily interpreted and checked documentation trail, and is easily adaptable to common electronic spreadsheet programs. Multiple examples will be provided to assist engineers in applying tolerance stack-up fundamentals to Y14.5 issues.
By participating in this course, you'll be able to:
*SAE International is authorized by IACET to offer CEUs for this course.
Engineers familiar with concepts and practices contained within Y14.5 and who are looking for a fundamental step-by-step process for getting geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) into a tolerance stack will benefit from this course. A basic understanding of GD&T symbols and concepts is required.
