Challenge

Insertion of a solid, screw machined pin into a fragile ceramic component causes cracking and significant rework of assembled components.

Solution

Create a compliant area in the pin so that you have some spring and more forgiving tolerances to work with both the screw machine and the ceramic products.

Simple automation and attention to detail in tool cutting clearance and maintenance resulted in success. No expensive rework of assembled boards. No loss of expensive screw machine parts or other components.

When we consider the real cost of getting our products out the door, modest investments in improvement often pay big dividends.
