Application Note: Production Testing of Brake Integrity Including Press Monitoring

When a reputable brake pad manufacturer shipped defective brake pads to their customers they realized that their quality testing methods needed to change. The manufacturer required a solution that would be able to test 100% of brake pad production to catch all defects while having the ability to create reports demonstrating to their customers that each pad met their specification.

Application Note: Engine Vibration Testing

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.

Application Note: Cam Shaft Grinding Application

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.

Application Note | Piston Connecting Rod Fracture: Force Monitoring in V8 and V10 Assembly

An engine manufacturer required a solution to successfully monitor the crank force to verify the correct range of key parameters to ensure the quality of the connection of the connecting rods joining the pistons to crankshaft was not compromised. Sciemetric’s process monitor resolved the issue by closely monitoring the crank and peak force, bushing, falling slope and area under the curve while simultaneously monitoring both the cranking process and bushing press forces with a single system with a five second machine cycle time.

Case Study: Manufacturer uses production data to overhaul quality on a global scale

End-of-line testing is costly and unreliable. What’s more, it doesn’t generate sufficient data to support advanced analytics. For one leading automotive OEM, a reliance on EoL meant that they weren’t fully realizing the data-driven potential of a connected Industry 4.0 environment. When this customer decided to take a harder look at standardizing quality across its international brands, it intensified testing beyond EoL and, in the process, unleashed a torrent of data that, once properly managed, made improvements they could only have hoped for.

Application Note: Detecting Debris Under Brake Caliper Seal

End-of-line leak tests were not catching some brake caliper defects. Process anomalies such as small debris pieces, or “chips” in the seal groove were resulting in very subtle defects which were impossible to detect. Caliper defects were being discovered by vehicle assembly plants or by customers, which led to expensive warranty repairs and productivity disruptions. The manufacturer required a solution with minimal tooling and fixturing modification that would reliably improve caliper quality without affecting yield.

Application Note | Cold Engine Testing: Mechanical Integrity and Fuel Systems Tests

Engine manufacturers require a reliable and cost-effective end-of-line test to catch any defects missed during engine assembly. Hot testing, with its long cycle times and requirements for dedicated resources and facilities for stations, is expensive. Read our Application Note to learn about Sciemetric's solution.
