Who Should Attend?
Prerequisite: GD&T Level 1 This course is directed to anyone
with the professional responsibility of analyzing or
applying geometric tolerances to assemblies, or anyone
seeking a more thorough understanding of tolerance analysis.
Attendees should have a basic working knowledge of ASME
Y14.5. A knowledge of GD&T principles is required to allow
all participants to be successful in learning the techniques
of tolerance stack up analysis. [Each course participant
needs to bring a hand-held calculator.]
What Will This Course Cover?
Course participants will be trained to apply tolerance stack
up analysis techniques to a wide variety of assemblies, from
the very simple to the more complex situations commonly
faced in industry today. Both plus and minus and
geometrically toleranced assemblies will be examined and
stack up analysis taught and practiced on each. Many
different datum structures will be discussed and analyzed.
The concepts taught in this course are: loop analysis (also
known as circuit diagrams), number charting, virtual
condition, resultant condition, inner and outer boundaries,
minimum airspace, maximum wall thickness, maximum
interference, minimum and maximum overall dimensions, fixed
and floating fastener assembly conditions, projected
geometric tolerance zones, the logic of tolerance stack up
analysis, statistical tolerancing , and much more.
This 2nd Edition of the Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis (January
2010) text is easier to understand, and (in the text as well
as training sessions) includes more discussion on what can
go wrong, shows how to tell right from wrong stack-up
routes, and includes more on Statistical Analysis, as well
as Worst Case Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis. This revision
reads smoother and adds information that eases the learning
process. The terminology in this 2nd Edition has been
updated to comply with ASME Y14.5-2009.
Course Length: Course length of 3 days.
Course Materials: Tolerance Stack Up Analysis [for
Plus and Minus and Geometric Tolerancing] 2nd Edition
text/workbook-answerbook. This text is per the ASME
Y14.5-2009 and 1994 standards.
