Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis
Apply tolerance stack-up analysis techniques to a variety of assemblies. Examine loop analysis, number charting, virtual condition, resultant condition, inner and outer boundaries, minimum airspace, maximum wall thickness, maximum interference, minimum and maximum overall thickness, and fixed and floating fastener assembly conditions.
Participants are expected to purchase the following book for class:
“Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis” ISBN: 9780971440142
This course can be applied to the Dimensioning and Tolerancing Certificate.
