Intensive Seminar
Quality assurance of
bolted connections
according to DIN EN 17976
In this intensive seminar, you will learn how to apply the measures required by the new screw connection standard
for rail vehicle construction DIN EN 17976 for
quality assurance in a reliable and practical manner. You will gain a
clear overview of all relevant methods for ensuring the assembly result,
their advantages and disadvantages, and the benefits of statistical evaluations using a real
example of a machine capability study (MFU). On day two, you will
get hands-on and evaluate the screw connection data provided. Step by step,
using Excel, without any in-depth prior knowledge of statistics.
Ideal for anyone who wants to evaluate, document, and independently assess assembly processes in accordance with standards.
