Do you have a shortage of stroke or measuring range, problems with the opening and closing of machine parts or dimensional problems during assembly: which designer has not come across these yet? You can prevent this by carrying out a tolerance analysis beforehand with the aim of setting up the tolerance chain. You will learn how to do this during the Tolerance analysis course.
- Gain skills needed to analyze tolerance risks
- Learn to solve tolerance problems in a structural way
- Evaluate designs from a tolerance management perspective
About the Tolerance analysis course
Tolerance problems often arise from part size variations, adjustment inaccuracies or varying thermal and mechanical loads. This course teaches you how to solve tolerance problems in a structural way. You will learn to make complex tolerance studies understandable to others and give direction to the design process with respect to tolerance aspects. Finally, you will learn to evaluate a design from a tolerance management perspective. During this course, you will develop the skills needed to analyze tolerance risks. In this way you will increase the quality of designs and prevent tolerance problems in production.
The course has an interactive character. Short theoretical lessons are alternated with exercises and own case studies. Individual experiences, questions and practical examples of the participants are parts of this course.

Your teacher
Geert-Jan Verstralen
The most complex tolerance analysis can be executed with a structural approach. With a good tolerance analysis you increase the quality of your design and you prevent tolerance problems in the production phase. In this course you will learn how to analyse unexpected tolerance problems in existing designs to come up with improvement proposals.
