Abstract

The manufacturing industry has to improve the quality of its manufactured products. It is the reason why industry needs tools and methods that make the control of that quality possible. In this paper, we propose a method that allows an optimal adjustment of the machine tools in order to respect at best a set of standard functional requirements applied to a part. The requirements have to use the maximal material requirement defined by ISO standard.

The proposed method works out a geometrical model. Interchangeability boundaries enriched with adjustment parameters constitute the basis of the model. Comparison between this geometrical model and a first manufactured part allows us to obtain the variations of adjustment parameters. These variations directly correct the machine tool being certain that the following parts respect at the very best the functional requirements. At least, this method brings the first step to statistically control a process.
