Why? Missing front Toothed Segment B
> Why? Toothed Segment B fell out of guide before
assembly of control disc due to collision between
Work piece carriers
> Why? Toothed Segment B was not properly placed
into guide slot during assembly process (Placed in
tilted condition)
> Why? Gripper of pick and place Toothed Segments B
not properly adjusted

Why? Missing front Toothed Segment B
> Why? 100% online detection of front Toothed Segment
B failed
> Why? Sensor for detection of presence of front Toothed
Segment B not adjusted to detect sloped Toothed
Segment B (sloped Toothed Segments B can fall out of
sub-assembly before next process step / assembly of
control disc)
> Why? Failure of sloped Toothed Segments B not
considered in PFMEA
Segment A Sensor Placement – Difference in height
is significant to be detected
Segment B Sensor Placement– Difference in height is
insignificant to be detected in case of tilted teeth

-3S (3*0,5405°) = 1,621°
(Max 1,6123° sigma of 10 Lots)
Sorting Procedure:
For each lot,
• Sigma = 0,5405°
• Calculate „Moving Median“ for each data point based on
next 100 data
• Median is chosen over Average to improve stability
against Outliers
• Moving Median curve is the Base line
• Offset by 2,43° to define the Limit curve (Offset Factor =
4,5 * Sigma)
• Any data point lying above the limit curve is declared as

(shown = Upper; Lower is 180° rotated)
Gap
Gap
W2 angle depends on,
• Variation in functional
geometry of all components
in recliner
• Variations are relatively
constant for particular batch
of production; but, changes
over time with mixup of
batches
Functional principle
4x Contacts between
Excenter to Teeth segment
Excenter is allowed to float to
support all 4 Teeth segments at
the same time
With missing Teeth segment – B,
Excenter looses support at one of four
contact points and has to turn more to
find the next possible support
Contact points
When all other conditions remain the same,
