Modifizierung von Werkzeugen, Vorrichtungen und Geräten
We’ve separated out tooling, fixturing, and modification because in some ways it requires a different mindset than building equipment. The focus needs to be less about flexibility and more about specific requirements, and it needs to understand a particular product’s lifespan and cost of tooling over that life. It requires that we understand in great detail what the failure modes of the assembly are and how they can be eliminated or mitigated. Because of that, our most senior process engineers are deeply involved in our tooling, fixturing, and modification projects.
