The calculated minimum form error is the profile tolerance which is unique to the sculptured surface.<br />

The optimal transformation matrix giving the minimum form error then becomes the optimal setup.<br />

In this section, an iterative algorithm, MINIMAXSURF 11 , is explained using the Chebyshev norm<br />

between the measured points and the corresponding closest points. Again, let P i be the measured points<br />

data, Q i � R i be the calculated closest points on the offset surface defined by the CAD geometry, and T be<br />

the transformation matrix between the two data. The Chebyshev norm of power p, L p, can be defined as<br />

(4.30)<br />

The L p can be minimized with respect to the transformation matrix T and the optimum transformation<br />

matrix T 0 can be found. The profile tolerance E is then<br />

The algorithm for the profile tolerance evaluation is implemented as<br />

(4.31)<br />

1. Set the iteration index k as 0, and the initial transformation matrix as the multiplication of<br />

T1 and T2 in case of the rough-phase and fine-phase alignment.<br />

2. Input the measured point data Pi for i � 1, 2, …, n, where n is the total number of measured<br />

points on the surface.<br />

3. Assign the initial closest point corresponding to the Pi as the measurement target<br />

point.<br />

4. Calculate the initial profile error for i � 1, …, n.<br />

5. Increase the iteration index k by 1.<br />

6. Find the closest point corresponding to the transformed<br />

7. Calculate the kth iterative transformation matrix, such that the Chebyshev norm,<br />

be minimum using the universal alignment algorithm. 11<br />

9. Evaluate the incremental maximum deviation, .<br />

10. If the incremental maximum deviation is less than the assigned tolerance TOL then proceed to<br />

the end; otherwise increase k by 1.<br />

11. Repeat steps 5 through 10 until the criterion is met.<br />

Flatness is the deviation of measured points with respect to the mathematically determined reference<br />

plane; the flatness error is evaluated as the distance between the maximum and minimum deviation.<br />

Squareness tolerance is the tolerance zone limited by two perpendicular planes to the given reference<br />

plane, where the two perpendicular planes contain the whole measured feature. The reference plane can<br />

be determined as the best fit plane by using the least squares technique. Parallelism tolerance is defined<br />

as the tolerance zone limited by two parallel planes which are parallel to the reference plane; the reference<br />

plane can be constructed as the best fit plane by using the least squares technique. The straightness<br />

tolerance is defined by the minimum distance between two parallel lines containing the measured datum.<br />

The slope of two parallel lines can be mathematically determined as the best fit line by using the least<br />

squares technique. The roundness tolerance is defined as the tolerance zone limited by two concentric<br />

circles; the circles can be calculated by the least squares circle (LSC), the minimum zone circle (MZC),<br />

the minimum circumscribed circle (MCC), and the maximum inscribed circle (MIC).<br />
