An automotive manufacturer of wire harnesses chose Sciemetric to monitor the crimping of copper terminals into wires. The manufacturer experienced dramatic improvements in manufacturing quality and repeatability. This high speed process takes 30 mS to complete, with 0.5 seconds between crimps.

Spool valves require crimping at a precise location in order to ensure uniform and balanced flow characteristics. Before approaching Sciemetric, a spool valve manufacturer had been attempting to solve this problem with another company. After spending about $30,000 and many months attempting to develop another system to do the job, they still could not get the system to work. A 30-minute discussion with Sciemetric solved the problem: a simple five-line program was all that was needed to complete the task.

A manufacturer of steering linkages required a method to measure and improve the quality and effectiveness of their idler arm assembly process, specifically the nut crimping operation. Their problem was that there was no way to determine the effectiveness of the operation as common problems such as cross-threading, missing crimp and “soft” crimping often occurred. Read this Application Note to learn how Sciemetric solved the problem.

The entire crimping force waveform (force vs. time) is captured by the Signature Analysis system and the software then analyzes the waveform in order to identify defects and deviations in the process. The high speed of the Signature Analysis equipment allows 100% of the installed rivets to be verified leading to significant improvements in quality.
