When manufacturing capability exceeds control capability: The paradox of high precision products, or is it possible to assemble functional products out of components we are unable to measure?

Jacques Jacot, Fabien Bourgeois, Sandra Koelemeijer Chollet

Sorting and mating is a very common practice in high precision manufacturing, as well in the watch industry, biomedical or automotive industry. This strategy helps to increase the assembly yield, but is costly and time-consuming. The question is, when is i ...
