For this reason, there is the <strong>tolerance range<\/strong>, i.e. a numeric range, between a maximum value and a minimum value that the size of the piece can assume.<\/p>\n<p>Each piece to be machined is therefore characterised by its own <strong>degree of precision<\/strong><strong>, <\/strong>upon which the machining <strong>tolerance range<\/strong> depends. The degree of precision is therefore greater, the narrower the tolerance range, but varies according to the performance required of the workpiece and the quality of the material used.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, <strong>the TOMMASIN quality control department<\/strong> provides a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tommasin.com\/it\/utensili-speciali-a-disegno\/\"><strong>dimensional certificate<\/strong><\/a> for every <strong><u>special tool<\/u><\/strong>, which guarantees compliance with <strong>both the size and shape tolerances<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Tolerance range position<\/h2>\n<p>The lower and upper deviations are not always symmetrical with respect to the zero axis; in fact, the tolerance range positions that can most commonly be found are:<\/p>\n<ul><li><strong>Symmetrical bilateral<\/strong> when the lower and upper deviation are equal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Upper asymmetric bilateral<\/strong> when the lower deviation is less than the upper one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lower asymmetric bilateral<\/strong> when the lower deviation is greater than the upper one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lower unilateral<\/strong><strong>, <\/strong>when the lower and upper deviations are both negative (in this case, the actual size of the workpiece is less than the nominal size).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Upper unilateral<\/strong><strong>, <\/strong>when the lower and upper deviations are both positive (the actual size is larger than the nominal size).<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Contact us, to make your special tool<\/h2>\n<p>\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\"
