Abstract
In manufacturing process, the quality of final products is significantly affected by both product design and process variables. However, historically tolerance research primarily focused on allocating tolerances based on product design characteristics of each component. This work proposes to expand the current tolerancing practices, and presents a new optimization method of tolerancing mechanical systems using interval computation for the prediction of system response. The proposed methodology is based on the development and integration of three concepts in process optimization: mechanical tolerancing, response surface methodology, and interval computation method. An industry case study is used to illustrate the proposed approach.
