CETOL 6σ v12.0 tolerance analysis software is now directly integrated with NX. CETOL 6σ enables product development teams to understand the often-complex impact of dimensional and assembly variation ...

Tolerance analysis is an essential discipline in mechanical design and production, ensuring that variations stemming from manufacturing processes do not impede the functionality or reliability of ...

To design a reasonable dimensional tolerance of a transmission shaft, the higher product quality while lower manufacturing cost must be considered. This paper provides a mathematical model and a ...

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) has been around since the 1940s, yet it is unappreciated as a way of finding bad designs before parts get made. • Tolerances are a vital part of ...

Quality costs may consume 25% of total revenues in manufacturing businesses, mostly from rework, scrap, warranty, product-liability claims, and recalls. The Six Sigma quality initiative helps ...

Medical device customers often say, “The design is close to lockdown.” This means that the list of requirements has been met and that the project is nearing handoff to manufacturing. The next steps ...

How to use statistical tools for component tolerance analysis. A look at methods such as Monte Carlo and Gaussian distribution. Simulating a dc-dc converter in LTspice to model closed-loop voltage ...

Designs requiring space-grade components must take into account the variances in component values that can occur over time. This is especially true for resistors, which can exhibit significant changes ...
