Application Note: Long Block Verification
Missing piston rings in the engine caused a major engine manufacturer to experience excessive warranty charges from customers, and repairing this defect after the engine was installed in the vehicle was costly and time-consuming. Existing end-of-line testing was not detecting the missing piston rings or the resulting compression defects. Sciemetric’s long block verification solution applied at critical points throughout assembly identified timing, measured torque, pressure and cylinder combustion pressure related defects that were having the largest impact on their bottom line and yield. Being caught before end-of-line testing methods resulted in a decrease repair and warranty costs. Read the Application Note to learn more.

Application Note | Fuel Injector Insertion Verification Using Force Monitoring
Fuel rail defects for a leading automotive manufacturer were traced to the improper insertion of fuel injectors into the fuel rail. The recurring defects were not found until late in assembly and represented a potential warranty issue as the injectors and fuel rails would experience premature wear due to the improper insertion. This risk along with high teardown and repair costs led the manufacturer to look for an efficient, reliable and effective way to monitor the simultaneous insertion of the three fuel rail injectors into the fuel rail.
