MCKINNEY, TX, USA, Jun 9, 2023 – Sigmetrix, global experts in mechanical variation management, announced that they will be sponsors at Siemens Realize LIVE Americas being held June 12-15 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.

At Realize LIVE Americas 2023, there will be a strong emphasis on exploring what transformation can look like using Siemens software. Attendees will be able to receive technical and product training from none other than the vast global community of Siemens users. The Sigmetrix team is excited to be exhibiting in the Solution Center to showcase their products and answer any questions attendees may have at Booth 505.   

There is a lot of discussion in industry about Model-Based Definition, Industry 4.0, and Digital Thread. Many companies are starting down the path toward a Model-Based Enterprise, but that path can be challenging. There are many facets to becoming truly Model-Based, but as the name implies, the key is the models themselves and their connections to various parameters. It is important that all requirements be tied directly to this comprehensive set of models to ensure traceability and usability. One set of requirements that is critical to the quality of any product is its dimensional requirements that are used to control mechanical variation. Sigmetrix, with its knowledge of managing mechanical variation, can help maximize the return on your MBD / MBE investment in the following ways: 

• Ensure the integrity of your MBD to maximize usability.
• Guide the creation of optimal dimensioning schemes, including GD&T.
• Promote consistent knowledge between contributors and consumers.
• Assess and improve the maturity of your organization’s Mechanical Variation Management.

Traditional views on the management and understanding of mechanical variation have stifled innovation in some companies and limited them to only developing derivative products. The best-performing companies see how a consistent understanding of mechanical variation throughout an organization and the ability to quickly simulate sensitivity to variation in alternate design concepts leads to more innovative, breakthrough products. 

CETOL 6σ enables product development teams to understand the often-complex impact of dimensional and assembly variation easily and fully on their designs. This knowledge enables them to adjust before problems appear in manufacturing or, even worse, in their customers’ hands. Users of all experience levels will appreciate the multiple levels of assistance available within the software. 

Attendees will want to make sure to catch the On-Demand presentation by Ross Snyder, Application Engineer at Sigmetrix, titled: “Tolerance Analysis w/ EZtol & CETOL: More Reasons to Stop Using Spreadsheets.” This presentation will provide an understanding of why tolerance analysis is an essential part of a successful product workflow. Using tools such as EZtol and CETOL can help make the process faster, easier, and more accurate than traditional tolerance analysis. 

“We are excited to showcase our latest version of CETOL 6σ v11.4.0, that expands support for GD&T/GPS definitions, augments notational capabilities, enhances the report, and incorporates several usability improvements,” stated Stephen Werst, Director of Customer Success & Product Strategy. “Also, new since last year’s show is the ability to start an analysis in our 1Dstackup tool, EZtol, and then transfer that data in our more powerful 3D analysis tool, CETOL. Together these two tools provide a seamless experience across all your tolerance analysis needs.”  

At their booth, Sigmetrix will be showing off their entire portfolio of comprehensive, easy-to-use solutions including:

• 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 team 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.
