  7. 5. IMPROVING GEOMETRICAL QUALITY BY INDIVIDUALIZING THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS

    Författare :Abolfazl Rezaei Aderiani; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Geometry Assurance; Locator Adjustments; Selective Assembly; Variation Simulations; Individual assembly processes;

    Sammanfattning : Dimensional deviations are a consequence of the mass production of parts. These deviations can be controlled by tightening production tolerances. However, this solution is not always desired because it increases production costs. LÄS MER
