Inspect GD&T Tolerances

Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing in ZEISS INSPECT

What are GD&T tolerances?

GD&T tolerances allow for determining and assessing geometrical deviations of parts. They describe the maximum permissible deviations from the nominal state of a part. If GD&T tolerances are exceeded, the function, accuracy of fit or form of the part is not fulfilled. The tolerances can be used to determine whether a bore hole is manufactured to fit exactly, whether it has the correct direction or whether existing form errors are within the permissible limits, for example. GD&T tolerances are used throughout all steps of the process chain, such as design, production and quality control.

Possible causes for GD&T deviations are, for example:

  • Deformation during processing
  • Wear and tear of the tool
  • Machine vibration
  • Temperature fluctuations during processing

GD&T functions in ZEISS INSPECT

While GD&T tolerances are used for specification in design, they help the metrologist to verify a part. The basic prerequisite for efficient evaluation is full-field measuring data generated by optical measurement technology. ZEISS INSPECT includes several GD&T functions for a comprehensive analysis of dimensions, form and position by means of datum systems, fitting elements and tolerances. The parametric design of the ZEISS INSPECT additionally supports and facilitates GD&T analyses. For measuring and analyzing the individual elements, this means that every element only has to be constructed once and can then be used as a reference. The respective computation method is set automatically.

Your advantages

  • Visualization of labels conforming to ISO standards

    ZEISS INSPECT enables you to visualize GD&T tolerances in accordance with the ISO standard. This allows you to add results to a visualization that is very similar to the technical drawing or CAD data.

  • Detect errors in time

    ZEISS INSPECT provides you with a project guide that guides you through your project. This allows you to detect calculation errors in time. The software also suggests suitable solutions.

  • Component testing with PMI support

    GD&T can help achieve 100 % certainty in OK/NOK decisions, making it suitable for automation and digitalization applications, such as product and manufacturing information (PMI).
