Application Case Studies for High-Performance Assembly
Real-world teardowns of complex failures in sortation, AGV, and automation systems. See how we diagnose and solve the root causes that standard QC checks miss.
CMM Passed, H7/g6 Confirmed — So Why Did the Assembly Jam?
Three batches of qualified parts, one assembly that refused to fit. A deep dive into how lead-in angle, contact faces, and step geometry can combine to fail an otherwise perfect design.

Problem: "In-Spec" parts jamming during final assembly?
Your CMM reports are green and H7/g6 fits are confirmed, but the line is stopped. Discover the hidden geometric traps that drawings don't show.
See the geometric diagnosis →Problem: Chronic fatigue fracture in bolted joints?
Bolts on your sorter carriers or flanges are failing prematurely. It might not be the material, but the geometry of the joint itself.

Traditional washers and threadlockers aren't holding up under dynamic loads. Explore a structural self-locking solution.

“We were chasing a recurring fatigue failure in our main sorter line for weeks. GorgeoFasteners didn't just sell us a stronger bolt; their team diagnosed a subtle geometric flaw in the flange joint that our own stress tests had missed. Their analysis saved us from a six-figure tooling modification and prevented a potential recall.”
