GDsT_: Cu eC hn mtr uri) PERFECTING THE ART OF COMMUNICATION Engineering Global SolutionsDone thas been the language of engineers. For the Design, Manufacturing and Inspection departments to understand, interpret and infer the drawing in the same ‘way, unambiguous interpretation of the drawing is mandatory. This avoids re-work, misunderstanding, misinterpretation, loss of time and cost_over-runs. Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) practice has evolved into a Standard and has come to be accepted as the de facto standard for manufacturing organizations worldwide, Just as every language comes with Symbols and Grammar, GD&T has aso evolved in a language of Symbols and Syntax, which when used with care and caution, helps reduce cost drastically while maintaining or improving quality EGS Computers India Private Limited, deriving on experience in Product Design, Simulation and Development, since 1993, has been successful in ‘conducting ExecutiveTraining Program to disseminate the D&T Technology to Indian Engineering Organizations involved in Design, Manufacture and Quality Inspection of ‘engineering goods nd services. Based on overa decade of teaching experience to Indust GDR&T courses conducted by EGS India has been well received by the participants across organizations involved Sates nett ete ee eee power, heavy engineering and engineering services sectors. GD&T courses conducted by EGS India has been carefully developed keeping the Indian manufacturing sector in mind, While basic understanding of GD&T ‘concepts s emphasized for unambiguous interpretation of| the standard(s), extensive course material involving ‘worksheets, practical examples, industrial case studies have been provided to the participants ensuring that ‘course objectivesaremet, > OWHY GD&T ? Benefits of implementing GD&T Standards have helped organizations to converge on better design and development processes. Some of the immediate benefits include the following: Reduces Manufacturing costs ~ Avoids and / or Eliminates Re-work ~ Ensures higher product quality Eliminates ambiguity in drawing representation and interpretation Reduces Product Developmentifime Preserves Intended Function ~ Eliminates Assembly Mis-matgh Some of the industries where GD&T finds extensive usage include | Automotive & Transportation ~ Aerospace ~ Medical Device ~ Deféce ~ Appliances ~ Electronic Equipments ~ Safety Devices ~ Process equipments such a valves, regulators, Mould, Tool & Die ~ Geared Transmissions ~ Plastics ~ Power Generation and compressors, control system components Machine Building ~ Precision Manufacturing ~ Transmission ~ Electro-mechanical d. > INTEGRATING GD&T " EGS Indiaincorporates the latest developments in GD & Standards Following Industrial Standards form the basis ofthe GD &T courses offered: Dimensioning & TolerancingASME Y14.5M ‘Mathematical Definition of Dimensioning and Tolerancing PrinciplesASME Y14..1M Differences between ASME Y14, 5 and ISO Standards IN THE DESIGN PROCESS GD&T courses offered by FGS India, aim at covering important aspects of drawing generation to meet stated objectives, Translation of design specifications into ‘manufactureable and measurable specifications forms the heart of the GD &T process. Importances of Design For Manufacture (DFM) in addition to inspection processes are delineated in the GD &T curriculum to emphasize qualitative and quantitative aspects of product development. >» OGD&T IN MANUFACTURING & INSPECTION While incorporating GD &T in Design process is important, the mission is incomplete without the ‘Manufacturing and Inspection Teams being a part of the implementation process. EGS India ensures that the best practices of GD &T are delivered to the cross-functional team comprising of Design, Manufacturing and Inspection faculties in the organization. This establishes the framework for co-ordination ofall team members in achieving the common goal of delivering qualitatively superior productsat reduced costs, Implications of GD&'T symbols including the mathematical definition of tolerance zones are claborately addressed with specific emphasis on inspection methods and their cost implications. Practices of application of GD&T to functional gauges, as recommended by Standards, are developed Inthe course-work.
