Correction of Theoretical Questions

Q1. Advantages of MMC/LMC Modifiers:

The MMC (Maximum Material Condition) and LMC (Least Material Condition) modifiers help control

geometric tolerances by considering material variation.

This improves assembly, as parts can fit optimally despite dimensional variations. A situation where

these modifiers do not apply is for flatness tolerances

on surfaces that do not depend on material conditions.

Q2. Calculation of the Virtual Boundary (VB):

To calculate the VBs for the holes and the pin, considering a position tolerance of 0.04, it is

necessary to use the nominal diameters with tolerated variations.

The detailed calculation may require combined tolerance analysis to obtain the relative variation.

Q3. Interpretation of Control Frames (a and b):

- The control frames define the geometric specifications for the parts:

- Frame 1: flatness specification.

- Frame 2: perpendicularity tolerance.

- Frame 3: cylindricity constraint.

- Frame 4: concentricity.

- Frame 5: symmetry.

- Flatness can be a refinement constraint if it specifies a surface before an orientation tolerance,

optimizing manufacturing precision.

Q4. Geometric Tolerance for CNC Machine:

For the production of 10 parts, a concentricity tolerance would be recommended to ensure precise
centering, essential in turning. A circularity tolerance could suffice if the precision is less critical.

Q5. Errors in Drawing and Process Plan:

- Errors: Identify any inconsistencies in the specified tolerances.

- Process Plan: The parts (100 units, 3-axis turning center) might require sequential machining, with

critical tolerances monitored to maintain precision.

Q5c. Use of Parallelism:

Parallelism of the surface relative to reference A ensures that this surface remains aligned with

another, which is crucial for assembly and mechanical stability.

Correction of the Exercise

Q1. Comments on Bias and Repeatability:

- Each graph shows variations in bias (high/low) and repeatability (high/low), which can be visually

assessed based on the spread and shifts.

Q2. Definition of Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility:

- Repeatability is the gauge's ability to reproduce identical measurements under the same

conditions.

- Reproducibility measures the consistency between different operators using the same gauge.

Q3. Variance Analysis in R&R Study:

Using the trial data (with three operators and ten parts measured three times each), it is possible to

calculate the variation between parts and the operators'

reproducibility using the variance component method.
