Leak tests are required in any application where seal integrity is important. Small leaks missed early in assembly can cause big problems downstream, including expensive teardowns and repairs, quarantines and more.
Many manufacturers rely on leak test as an end-of-line test. Sciemetric’s approach to in-process testing makes it possible to also leak test at critical junctions along the manufacturing line, without affecting productivity, so that defects are found as soon as possible, when they are most cost effective to fix.
Here are just some of the results we’ve helped our customers achieve:
- Reduced gage R&R and more confidence in test results
- Leak stations brought in-line to increase efficiency and accuracy without impacting throughput
- Savings in cost and headcount by reducing test stations
- More leaks detected to slash repairs, scrap and warranty issues
- Optimization of tests and continuous process improvement using rich data collected right from the line
- Deployment of an easy-to-learn, easy-to-maintain leak test that meets increasing productivity demands
- ROI in 4 to 6 months
Sentinel 3520 Leak Tester: Innovative, patented technology
Built for your toughest leak test challenges
When you’re struggling to balance accuracy, cycle time and Gage R for a complex leak test, the Sentinel 3520 is up to the challenge. The Sentinel 3520 can test parts with volumes of less than 1 cc and up to 1,000,000 cc, variable volume parts, and parts requiring temperature compensation— all while delivering the speed, accuracy and repeatability manufacturers require. This leak test instrument also offers advanced configurability to meet your requirements using Sciemetric’s Process Signature Verification (PSV™) software, accessible at the station using the sigPOD controller.
Use your production data to improve your leak test with Sciemetric
Using the data generated during your leak test processes is the quickest way to improve your leak test. Sciemetric’s QualityWorX suite of data management and manufacturing analytics software allows you to consolidate your leak test process data with data collected from other key application tests from across your line, enabling complete democratization of data: real-time analysis capabilities across your enterprise.
This data can be used for a variety of improvements on your leak test, including:
- Faster to find the right test limits
- Faster test setup
- Hit both Gage R and cycle time targets
- Immediately visualize the effect of changes on the test
- Ability to keep leak test optimized
- Birth history traceability
