Research on Geometric Errors of Intermediate Unit Shell of a Geokhod

Abstract

This article includes the research results on production errors of intermediate unit shell of a geokhod prototype model. There has been a problem stated concerning the accuracy of geokhod shells; constructive and technological particularities of a intermediate unit have been specified. A short summary has been conducted of the types of approach to the determination of shell errors of large equipment. The research was performed on the basis of data received by means of coordinate control of a gekhod prototype model in a production environment. The captured data have been researched by means of statistical methods and analyzed with the purpose of unveiling the factors affecting the errors. It was showed in the article that the errors can be partially explained by the production errors of body sectors and the errors of their relative assembling position. It was demonstrated that at least a part of errors is conditioned by reasons which are not taken into account in the process of a pure geometric description of the intermediate unit manufacturing process.
