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
