Application Note: Automotive Oxygen Sensor Testing
Sciemetric’s sigPOD has easily configurable software to test sampling rates, precise triggers, waveform calculations and signature based checks. This system was applied on an automotive manufacturing line to test oxygen sensors that had been a challenge to test and monitor because resistance is changed immediately when power is applied.

Application Note | Piston Cooling Nozzle Assembly: Test Verification Using Signature Analysis
Sciemetric’s process monitoring system was used to successfully detect piston cooling nozzle defects early in the assembly process. Detects all missing, blocked or obstructed cooling nozzles, measures high and low pressure and provides real-time ‘PASS’ or ‘FAIL’ results to the operator. Installation of the system resulted in the diesel engine manufacturer, decreasing end-of-line repair costs, customer warranty claims and more. Read the Application Note to learn more.

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.

Application Note | Power Steering Pump: Vane Defect Detection Using Signature Analysis
A power steering pump manufacturer required a solution that accurately detected the most subtle vane defects prior to final assembly to avoid costly tear downs due to the objectionable noise and vibration (NVH) they can create. A Sciemetric test and analysis system was installed and configured to observe the pressure waveform, allowing easy detection of missing, nicked, bent and slightly stuck vanes.

Application Note: Transfer Line Load Monitoring
The transfer lines are often subjected to substantial loads and forces during the transfer process. Recently, a transfer line that was being used to transfer automobile bodies on a body weld line began experiencing problems with pin shear as a direct result of the force required to move the parts. A Sciemetric test and analysis system was used and provided a quick and easy solution to the problem. The system was configured to monitor and collect for fifteen seconds the compression and tension force data from a load cell configured on a transfer line (the entire process occurred in eleven seconds).

Application Note | Brake Line Assembly Verification: Leak Testing and Part Correlation
A manufacturer was experiencing problems with truck rear brake assembly: very small leaks where brake line fluid would leak out of the line were going undetected, leading to expensive repairs and high warranty costs. The manufacturer required a solution that would test the entire rear brake line assembly process for accuracy and quality while able to determine the root cause of the defects. Read our application note to learn how Sciemetric fixed the problem.

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. Read the Application Note to learn how Sciemetric fixed the problem.
