NachjustageVerpflichtungen

Nachjustage-Verfahren is a systematic procedure used in German-speaking engineering environments to perform post-installation fine-tuning of mechanical, optical, or electronic systems to meet specified performance targets. The term combines nach (after), Justage (adjustment), and Verfahren (procedure).

It is applied after initial setup or after component changes to compensate for manufacturing tolerances, wear, and environmental variation, aiming to ensure accuracy, repeatability, and reliability.

A typical workflow includes measuring key performance indicators, analyzing deviations from reference values, applying corrective adjustments, and verifying results. Documentation and traceability are integral, with versioning of settings and calibration records.

Techniques range from manual adjustments to automated control loops, supported by metrology equipment, sensors, calibration standards, and statistical methods such as tolerance analysis and control charts.

Applications span fields such as automotive engineering, precision manufacturing, optics, and robotics, where maintaining performance after maintenance, reconfiguration, or part replacement is essential. Potential drawbacks include the risk of over-adjustment, added cycle time, and the need for skilled operators or reliable automation.
