History and Background Eli Whitney, is the inventor of the cotton gin and a pioneer in the use of mass production methods. Around 1798, he won a contract to supply muskets to the United States government. The firearms manufacture were based on the concept of interchangeable parts. He made a presentation to congress by building 10 guns and assembling and disassembling them claiming the same exact parts and mechanisms. Eli Whitney 1765 - 1825 EML 2023 Computer Aided Design

Tolerances • All dimensions require a tolerance. • A tolerance should be as large as possible without interfering with the function of the part to minimize production costs. • Consider how your part will be checked to see if it meets the tolerances. EML 2023 Computer Aided Design 5

Limit Tolerancing EML 2023 Computer Aided Design

Limit Tolerancing • Is the. 620 -. 630 hole horizontal position measured from a true vertical plane or from the as built face? • A . 005” tolerance on the horizontal and vertical position of the hole means that the position could be off by as much as . 007”. max allowed error for hole center . 007 perfect location for hole center +. 005 EML 2023 Computer Aided Design

Limit Tolerancing • Limit tolerances don’t have an origin or any orientation or location relative to datums. • The datums are usually implied. • The drawings are subject to different interpretations. • Plus/minus tolerancing works well for individual features of size (ex. diameter of a shaft), but does not control the relationship between individual features very well.
