An automotive parts manufacturer was unable to verify that the tube insertion process was free of defects to avoid potential power steering failures in the field.  A sigPOD press monitor was configured to monitor press load versus distance and successfully detects defects in-process such as too large insertion hole, loose tube and debris.

For over 30 years, Sciemetric has been leading the development of technologies for front-line defect detection on the manufacturing production line through in-process testing (IPT). IPT (In-process testing) is about catching issues at the stations where they happen, when the cost of resolving them is the lowest. This blueprint provides examples of where and how Sciemetric technology can be used across the axle manufacturing line to improve product quality and provide traceability.

A power steering pump manufacturer required a solution that accurately detected the most subtle vane defects prior to final assembly to avoid costly tear downs due to the objectionable noise and vibration (NVH) they can create. A Sciemetric test and analysis system was installed and configured to observe the pressure waveform, allowing easy detection of missing, nicked, bent and slightly stuck vanes.

On a typical axle manufacturing line there are at least 20 possible points, from subassembly to final test, where test processes can be monitored. Many manufacturers aren’t monitoring each of these stations, causing defects to go unnoticed. Sciemetric has a solution.

An automation integrator working with a manufacturer of automotive wheel hubs was looking for the best leak tester for a new production line. The test was needed to find any parts with out of spec dimensions that would cause leaks around the inner channel of the wheel hub. A cycle time of 12 seconds for the test and demonstration of the leak tester's repeatability were key requirements in their search. Read the Application Note to learn more.

Since the part is welded to the front axle, the assembly of the front axle bushing into a stamped metal bracket is a critical process. The visual and random mechanical inspections conducted post-assembly by a manufacturer were insufficient to identify defective parts and provide 100% guarantee of the integrity of the assembly during the service life of the vehicle. Read the application note to learn how Sciemetric fixed the problem.
