Redesigned Zeroing Caps
MICRO
Objective
Improve measurement repeatability for a mechanical tensioning system by updating zeroing caps to hold parts in true zero position
Concept Sketch
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
How?
Results
Ensured consistent true zero alignment and reduced misalignment defects by ~30%
