BENEFITS

SOLVING SINGLE-DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCE PROBLEMS

Sigmetrix recognizes that not all models require a multi-dimensional analysis. CETOL 6 was

designed with this in mind, giving you a simplified approach to modeling that gives confidence in

single dimensional tolerance analysis with increased accuracy. The table below highlights the

major differences between solving one-dimensional problems manually or with a spreadsheet

versus with CETOL 6.

SOLVING MULTI-DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCE PROBLEMS

To maximize the value of CETOL 6, most of our customers address multi-dimensional problems

by utilizing the software's three main components - modeling, analysis and reporting.

Modeling Made Easy


3/5

By utilizing the modeling component, designers and engineers can quickly build models for

analysis. Because the software pulls the necessary geometry features directly from the CAD

system model, you can quickly move to the analysis stage.

With advisory messages during modeling process, you build a tolerance analysis withconfidence.

Powerful Analysis and Verification Tool

The powerful Analyzer window provides you with the interface for interrogating results. A user

can quickly identify the top contributors to quality and make tolerance adjustments to understand

the impact on assembly quality.

Interrogation and interpretation of results is fast and easy with data sorting and organization.

Cross-table views allow you to see results of multiple measurements at the same time and you

can change values and immediately see the results.

Embedded Sensitivity Animation, both statistical and worst-case, shows you how a single

variable is impacted throughout the tolerance range on both assembly position and

measurements.

Key contributor analysis enables you to instantly see and adjust measurements and tolerances

for a truly robust design.

Reporting Tools

Consolidated reports provide the

basis for communication with manufacturing and management. HTML output is utilized for

reporting. Users can set default HTML reader as a preference, i.e. Word, Internet Explorer,Mozilla, etc. go to PDF. Reports are customizable but standard reporting templates are

included.

HOW COMPANIES USE CETOL 6

Throughout the world, companies of all sizes and industries use CETOL 6 when they need to

understand the impact tolerances will have on a mechanical assembly. Based on survey results

from our customers, here are some of the primary uses of this powerful tolerance analysis tool.

Reduce Costs

Supplier A is 10% cheaper than supplier B but supplier A wants a wider tolerance. Can you

choose supplier A? Only with CETOL 6 can you know the impact that the tolerance change will

have on the overall assembly helping you drive to a lower per part cost.

Scrap is reduced when you know whether or not parts that arrive from a supplier can or cannot

be used in the assembly. Production delays are avoided when you know the impact that changes

will have to the overall assembly.

Increase Productivity

CETOL 6 puts better information in the hands of the decision makers. Engineering Change

Orders (ECOs) can be reduced and you can focus on what is important. With CETOL 6, you

can quickly see problem areas and simplify inspections by knowing what parts are critical to

quality.

Impact the Overall Business

Too many times, recalls and warranty issues are caused when good designs are lacking athorough tolerance analysis. CETOL 6 helps companies reduce warranty issues, field failures

and product recalls by enabling you to perform a complete analysis in the same amount of time

as a less than complete analysis could be done by hand. Customers today use CETOL 6 to

mitigate risk and reduce liability with detailed analysis and reporting.
