A Robust Optimization of the Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing of a Circular Interpolation Milled Part

摘要

The Quality Loss Function and the other robust optimization methods, developed by Dr. Genichi Taguchi can be used for accomplishing one of the three aspects of the Robust Engineering concept: the robust design, the process parameters design and the tolerance design. The paper presents a case study, applied in an industrial production process, for the milling a circular pocket on a flexible manufacturing system, by circular interpolation. The target of the case study is to underline the importance of economical and technical criteria for the optimization in a robust way of the milling operation, designing an economical tolerance field.
