Modeling of the concepts in ISO standards for profile surface texture

Abstract

The current concepts in surface texture international standards are considered to be too theoretical, complex and over-elaborate for industry. A functional approach that completely expresses the complicated surface texture knowledge for designers and engineers is often nonexistent on the shop floor. Based on Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) philosophy, this paper proposes a modeling of connection between design, manufacture and measurement in surface texture. Explicit specification and verification processes are modeled base on the general GPS matrix and related ISO standards. The goal of the modeling is to bridge the knowledge gap between design, manufacture and measurement in the field of surface texture
