Computer Aided Tolerancing (CAT) is an important topic in any
field of design and production where parts move relative to one
another and/or are assembled together. Geometric variations from
specified dimensions and form always occur when parts are
manufactured. Improvements in production systems can cause the
amounts of the variations to become smaller, but their presence
does not disappear. To shorten the time from concept to market of a
product, it has been increasingly important to take clearances and
the tolerancing of manufacturing variations into consideration
right from the beginning, at the stage of design. Hence, geometric
models are defined that represent both the complete array of
geometric variations possible during manufacture and also the
influence of geometry on the function of individual parts and on
assemblies of them.
The contents of this book originate from a collection of
selected papers presented at the 9th CIRP International Seminar on
CAT that was held from April 10-12, 2005 at Arizona State
University, USA. The CIRP (College International pour la Recherche
en Production or International Institution for Production
Engineering Research) plans this seminar every two years, and the
book is one in a series of Proceedings on CAT. The book is
organized into seven parts: Models for Tolerance Representation and
Specification, Tolerance Analysis, Tolerance Synthesis,
Computational Metrology and Verification, Tolerances in
Manufacturing, Applications to Machinery, and Incorporating
Elasticity in Tolerance Models."
