Redesigned Zeroing Caps


Improve measurement repeatability for a mechanical tensioning system by updating zeroing caps to hold parts in true zero position

Concept Sketch

Results

Ensured consistent true zero alignment and reduced misalignment defects by ~30%


How?

  • Performed root cause analysis to determine that inconsistent part seating was driving measurement variability

  • Redesigned zeroing caps to fully constrain the part geometry

  • Validated performance using SLA-printed biocompatible prototypes
