Application Note | Power Steering Pump Assembly: Force Versus Distance Process Monitoring
A faulty pulley being incorrectly pressed onto the pump shaft resulted in faulty power steering pumps. The manufacturer required a cost-effective solution to verify that the pulley was securely pressed into the pump shaft prior to final assembly. In one case, Sciemetric’s press monitoring system was installed to find the defects before final assembly by performing various tests with each part including press force, and pulley height checks during assembly, providing detailed signatures of the press, position while storing all data for complete traceability.

Application Note | Piston Ring Verification System: Laser Gaging Using Signature Analysis
A manufacturer was experiencing problems with the inconsistent quality of their shipped engines, leading to customer complaints and expensive teardowns after engine hot/cold test. The problem was traced to improperly stacked compression rings. Sciemetric resolved the problem by installing our advanced laser gaging technology system to accurately detect even the slightest defects such as upside down, bent, and incorrect positioning of each compression ring.

Application Note: Verification of Piston Type & Orientation Using Laser Scanning
A major automotive integrator was unable to test any one of four engine blocks right after piston insertion and defects being found after final engine assembly were causing expensive teardowns. Sciemetric easily installed a test and analysis system using laser scanning to verify the engine blocks to ensure correct positioning and accurately find defects such as under or oversized and bent pistons.
