A major engine manufacturer was experiencing customer complaints and costly warranty repairs and quickly required a solution that could detect defects early in the Short Block assembly process, specifically defects caused by crankshafts. Sciemetric’s Short Block Crank Torque to Turn test measures the torque as the crank is rotated, applying advanced algorithms for consistent and reliable detection of defects such as contaminated bearings, debris, incorrect fit, bent or nicked cranks, etc. Read the Application Note to learn more.

In medical device packaging it is extremely important to have a reliable sterile sealing process, however in many cases it is the last piece of the puzzle before going to market with a product. When a proper seal packaging process is not practiced, it quite often leads to returns and having to re-package the product or dispose of it all together while additional unnecessary costs are incurred.

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.

Downstream issues on the production line with leaks, non-secure parts and components, or unwanted noise and vibration can often be traced back to a flawed fluid dispense operation. The Sciemetric solution, using digital process signature analysis, allows manufacturers to identify faulty dispense operations as they occur and take corrective action. The result is reduced downtime, scrap, rework costs, warranty claims, and improved production efficiency and product quality.

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.

A major engine manufacturer was very concerned about the inconsistent quality of their shipped engines and the issues with unwanted noise and vibration, which often affect customer satisfaction. Traditional subjective testing failed to identify defects, which were eventually discovered at vehicle assembly plants or by customers. This led to expensive warranty repairs and productivity disruptions. The manufacturer required a solution with minimal tooling and fixturing modification that would reliably improve engine quality without affecting yield. read the Application Note to learn how Sciemetric solved their problem.

A major automotive manufacturer was looking for an accurate quality and process monitoring system to improve yield and reduce costly defects. They were having issues with chatter marks in a cam shaft grinding operation causing engine noise and vibration (NVH) and accelerating engine component wear. Sciemetric’s test and process monitoring system resolved the problem: it measures vibration quality control, condition-based wheel dress frequency, monitors machine health to prevent future defects and more.
