GD&T in Automotive Assembly: Surface Profile Tolerances

March 22, 2022
No Comments

A surface profile tolerance zone is a three-dimensional volume establishing permissible boundaries of feature(s) of a part. A surface profile tolerance can be used to define a tolerance zone to control combinations of size, form, orientation and location of a feature relative to true profile.

What Kind of Calibration Do You Want?

You want a functional calibration.

Hill Cox
June 1, 2020
3 Comments

Typical answers include: cheaper, faster, most accurate, none of which would pass a technical smell test. On reflection, many might say they want calibration to tell them if the item to be calibrated is any good or not while not defining what ‘good’ means from a technical point of view.

2 Comments

Some of the data I’ve noted from the AMTMA studies make it very clear that measurement disputes will continue.

Further problems will occur due to unrealistic expectations by all the parties involved in a dispute.
