The demands of the customers on the products relating to their quality
characteristic (for example accuracy, reliability, safety and life span)
rise up more and more. These rising demands lead to smaller dimensions
and tolerances of the products, assemblies and components. By smaller dimensions
and tolerances not only the deviations of the measures are important but
also the deviations of the geometrical tolerances and the surface roughness.
Currently the process control is achieved by measurement of form, location
and roughness individually. With this measurement the results are only
checked against their tolerance limits. There are no control systems available,
that consider the statistical character of these one-sided toleranced features.
The aim of this research project it's, to develop a control system for the moni-toring, the analysis and the control of this one-side toleranced features. The in-vestigations about this one-side toleranced features were supported by grinding examples of the deviations from roundness, from parallelism, from straightness and of the parameters of surface roughness. For that purpose measurements were made of a process in a factory and in our own experimental workshop.
The results of our investigations shown clearly, that the model distributions
of one-side toleranced geometrical features can not often described through
a normal distribution. The best descriptions for the whole or current distribution
of one-sided toleranced features are often the folded normal distribution
and the logarithmical normal distribution. For large measuring values of
the one-sided toleranced features also the normal distribution can be used
approximately. For smaller measuring values is this not longer possible
because of the skewness of the distribution due to the accumulation of
measuring values in the near of the lower natural limit. The behaviour
of the folded normal distribution by different standard deviations is shown
in figure 1.

In the actual working period were also investigated different possibilities
for application of statistical methods by one-sided toleranced features.
As an example is shown in figure 2 the influence of the assumed model distribution
of the capability factors.

The actual works are occupied with investigations about the wearout of a grinding wheel of the roughness. Additional will be investigated the influence of lack of balance of the grinding wheel.
