Why tolerance is importantinengineering

Fittings for a part that is welded have their own tolerance, whereas parts that are machined by a CNC machine, for example, will not have the same tolerances, because the fittings are not necessary with a bent part.

What Is dimensional tolerance

When considering a contract metal fabricator, tolerances should be at the top of your selection criteria. Axenics’ team of manufacturers is meticulous in achieving perfection when it comes to tolerances. Plus, by handing every aspect of your product manufacturing in-house, there is less opportunity for mistakes. Fewer hands, fewer mistakes.

Axenics product engineering services staff is highly trained on AutoCAD and SolidWorks 3D product design software. Our team can work with your designers and engineers to ensure the proper tolerances are updated. This will save time and money by reducing inspection time and manufacturing do-overs.

Outsourcing can be a cost-effective way to complete projects on time, and within budget — without adding staff, equipment or increasing facility space.

To reiterate, a simple — but potentially expensive — mistake, like differences in tolerance drawings, can be circumvented by working with a skilled product design team from start to finish. Something else to keep in mind is that we also have great relationships with our vendors, which helps us to solve problems like a difference in tolerances in a timely and economical way.

Engineering tolerance

Working with clients for more than 35 years means we have pretty much seen it all. It’s not unusual to get what we call a “napkin drawing” for a potential product, one that lacks detail, measurements, etc. Our talented product design team is often able to take a simple drawing and work closely with the client to create a finished product that everyone can be proud of.

Semiconductor manufacturing facilities often find themselves up against a number of operational challenges, some of which cause repercussions that are challenging to fix. One of these is the ability to move gas within a small space. On any given day, the industry...

We are often able to tackle vague concepts for our customers, but a challenge arises when we see differences in tolerance drawings. When working with engineers outside of Axenics, we sometimes experience the engineer not changing the tolerance when going from a machined part to a welded part – and there will be a difference in tolerance there that is not reflected in the computer-aided-design (CAD) drawing provided.

Manufacturingtolerance standards

By working with Axenics from the start of your project, easy mistakes in tolerances can be avoided. Our team of product design experts specialize in helping customers in a variety of industries to go from the idea stage to an actual product.

Tolerance is the acceptable range for a physical dimension, which is determined by the product designer based on form, fit and function of a part. At Axenics, we have tight tolerance expectations in order to deliver high-quality, safe products to our customers. Tolerances are pivotal in the manufacturing process because they will determine how well a part will fit in the final piece and how reliable the final product will be.
