Attendees will be able to explore how Sigmetrix can improve profitability by balancing product quality with manufacturing cost​ as well as capture, transfer, and retain critical process knowledge. 

 

MCKINNEY, Texas – August 28,  2024--  Sigmetrix, global experts in mechanical variation management announced that they will be exhibiting at the International Manufacturing Technology Show being held from September 9-14 at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL at Booth #135913. 

 

IMTS is a place where creators, builders, sellers, and drivers of manufacturing technology meet to connect and be inspired. Industry professionals from around the globe will attend IMTS to discover the latest innovations in digital and traditional manufacturing, experience more than 15,000 new machining technologies, and find processes that will help solve their manufacturing challenges and improve efficiency. The Sigmetrix team will be at booth #135913 in the East Building, Level 3, to show their solutions and answer questions. 

Variation is a reality of the manufacturing process and can be costly if not properly controlled. Sigmetrix focuses on helping their customers improve profitability by balancing the cost of poor product quality with the cost of manufacturing costs. This benefit can be achieved by:   

  • Quickly iterating to find dimensional controls for desired quality.  
  • Making cost-effective process decisions.
  • Determining impact and action for “out of spec” parts.
  • Assisting with sustaining engineering and cost reduction efforts. 
  • Providing consistency of data and understanding throughout the process. 

To be most effective throughout the life of the product, the dimension scheme and tolerance definitions must be defined by analysis, and the analysis data should be stored with the design data source. Doing this guarantees that those who support manufacturing and inspection have access to all information that may be helpful in troubleshooting issues that may arise. Furthermore, future design teams will benefit from being able to modify the work previously done instead of starting from scratch. Sigmetrix’s solutions enable you to address these challenges and ensure success by addressing challenges related to loss of “tribal knowledge” and workforce attrition. Our software can also guide your less than experienced users to make informed decisions and provide a consistent approach and common language that makes communication throughout the product lifecycle clear. 

"Sigmetrix is trying to help companies manage their variation to make better products,” states Ed Walsh, Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing. "Better products means that the product is safe and will operate more efficiently. Variation is something that is inevitable in manufacturing and can affect the quality of products. This can make products less competitive or create a poor customer experience. " 

 

In addition to demonstrating CETOL 6σ at their booth Sigmetrix will be showing off their entire portfolio of comprehensive, easy-to-use solutions including:

  • CETOL 6σ, a 3D tolerance analysis solution that works with designs from PTC Creo, SOLIDWORKS, CATIA V5-6, and NX CAD systems. 
  • EZtol, a 1D analysis tool designed to make it easier to create, manage and report upon multiple 1D tolerance analyses in an assembly.
  • Training, provided through more than a dozen instructor-led and computer-based courses covering basic to advanced GD&T/GPS, MBE, and MBD
  • Consulting and implementation, services with years of experience in tolerance analysis and GD&T definition offer a variety of consulting services to augment your team, speed your project along and run analyses for your assemblies.
