| Abstract | Volvo Aero Corporation develops and produces advanced components for aircraft engines. To fulfil the demands for lighter engines, their new product development is based on Volvo Aero’s capability for light weight design, through fabrication. Fabrication, as opposed to traditional production methods of a one-piece casting, consists of smaller cast, forged and sheet metal worked parts, which are welded together. Simultaneously with this new design follows problems that need to be solved in order to stay competitive and to be able to produce their products. By working with robust tolerance design and geometry assurance, variation related problems can be avoided and thereby improve the quality of produced products. Robust tolerance design is also required in order to, avoid manual adjustments in production and thereby make it possible to increase the level of automation. In the thesis work, several case studies have been conducted in order to investigate Volvo Aero’s potential to adapt to robust tolerance design methods. These studies show improvement potential for the parts tested and have been used in order to describe important work procedures and tasks. A “geometry system developer” role has been tested in a project in concept phase, were the robust tolerance design tasks and questions have been handled. |
