Tolerances analysis on a nitrogen spring
Tighter tolerances can risk increasing scrap rates. Special Springs needed to determine how to maintain quality and minimise production cost. Using CETOL 6σ, engineers modelled the statistical behaviour of the assembly to identify the optimum balance between precision, manufacturability, and cost.
By revealing exactly how variation affects performance, CETOL 6σ enabled them to reduce uncertainty, waste, and the need for costly prototyping. The result was a confident, data-backed quotation that safeguarded quality while meeting their customer’s new specification.
