Abstract

Determination of operational dimensions and tolerances is complex if there exist inconsistencies between operational and design specifications. Dimension and tolerance charts (D&T charts) have been used to establish the relationships among operational dimensions in complex machining. This chart proves that individual operations can be harmonized when they are interconnected. However, it is hard to generate the chart manually. Because operational dimensions and tolerances must meet the design specifications, the dimensions and tolerances of interconnected operations have to be verified serially for economical operations. In this paper, the chart is automatically generated from the interconnected operations. More importantly, all operational dimensions and tolerances displayed in the chart have been verified by using LP to meet the design specifications. Finally, the chart is converted to an operational routing sheet that contains a detailed process plan along with cutting speed, feed rate, and operational references based on material hardness, surface finish, and tool nose radius.
