Short Introduction

to Systematic Tolerance Calculation with TOL1


The TOL1 Manual contains a detailed introduction to tolerance calculation. If you wish to carry out your own small tolerance calculation with the demo version you should work through the following small example first. The example will help you to get to know how TOL1 carries out a tolerance calculation. The demo version demonstrates the tolerance calculation automatically.

1. Description of Example

The dimension x of the supporting bolt is to be calculated.

2. Element Diagram

All necessary dimension levels for the tolerance calculation are numbered commencing with zero. For practical reasons the level at the center of the diagram, from which all dimensiones commence, is assigned the element number zero in complex tolerance calculations.

3. Element Table

All dimensiones are listed in a table of element numbers. In order to visualise this better, the dimension chain has arrows from the last element to the current element. The direction is '+' or '-' depending on whether the arrow shows in a mathematically positive or negative direction. Dimension 20 is the distance between element 0 and element 1. Dimension 30 can be defined from 0 to 2 in a negative direction. The dimension of element 2 after element 1 is required.

4. Definition of Intervals to be Calculated

The dimension x represents the distance between element 1 and element 2.

5. Input of Dimension Elements

This is where the PC comes into use. The element table from the diagram shown above is entered appropriately, then the dimension of element 1 to 2 is defined as the critical distance.

6. Input of Critical Distances

The distance to be calculated is entered.

7. Output of Critical Distances

The dimension x with greatest and smallest dimension, with constant distribution and with Gauses Normal Distribution will be displayed on screen or printed out.
