Abstract
Small geometrical deviations, which originate from manufacturing discrepancies and from elastic deformations, can degrade the motion accuracy and, consequently, can influence the functionality of systems in motion. The goal of tolerance analysis is to ensure product functionality and to reveal potentials for an optimized tolerance allocation. In this paper, an integrated procedure for statistical tolerance analysis of systems in motion is presented by means of a crank mechanism. Beside the integration procedure, the focus is on an appropriate visualisation of the dynamic analysis results.
