What is CQM Tolerance Designer?
CQM Tolerance Designer helps engineers predict the impact of tolerances on product designs and assess whether a design meets its specifications. This tool enables you to determine the required tolerances for underlying component parameters to ensure an optimal final product.
Why choose CQM Tolerance Designer?
In the manufacturing industry, variations in raw materials, components, and processes—known as tolerances—are inevitable. CQM Tolerance Designer supports you by:
- Predicting whether a design meets the required specifications.
- Defining optimal tolerances for modules, components, and processes within the V-model.
- Preventing overly tight or overly loose specifications, ensuring cost control without compromising quality.
- Identifying critical parameters and dimensions in technical drawings.
CQM Tolerance Designer is highly versatile and applicable across various industries, from injection molding to process industries and high-tech product development.
How does CQM Tolerance Designer work?
The tool utilizes transfer functions—mathematical models that describe the relationship between final products and component parameters. These transfer functions are typically based on physical knowledge, derived from experiments using Design of Experiments (DoE), or advanced regression on observational data.
With an intuitive interface, CQM Tolerance Designer offers powerful features, including:
Input support for a wide range of transfer functions and tolerances with statistical distributions.- Statistical analysis, including Cp, Cpk values and histograms of final product performance.
- Interactive optimization via sliders for input parameters, with real-time updates.
- Impact analysis of tolerances on product quality.
Input support for a wide range of transfer functions and tolerances with statistical distributions.
Who can benefit from CQM Tolerance Designer?
This tool is designed for professionals in industries such as high-tech, food, and process industries and is widely used by: mechanical engineers, product developers, and process engineers.
When Should You Use CQM Tolerance Designer?
- During the development of a new product
- When modifying an existing design
- When changing suppliers
Additionally, the tool supports knowledge retention by storing conducted tolerance analyses, including transfer functions and tolerances, in a case file. This file can be integrated into the Technical Production Documentation (TPD) for future reference.
Ease of use
CQM Tolerance Designer is developed with engineers in mind—practical, intuitive, and ready to apply immediately. The tool is available with an annual named-user license and can be directly used for presentations and decision-making.
