Dear John: How do I quickly find the most optimal limit settings to get the highest output?
Question: Dear John, I’m having a hard time finding the right limits for our test systems. Right now we keep adjusting them, trying to find what works best through trial and error. Is there a way to quickly find the optimal limit settings to get the highest output without affecti…
5 Considerations for the Design of Custom Destructive and Durability Testing
Seeing the unseeable – winning the war against bubbles
Even the tiniest air bubbles can ruin the integrity of a seal or adhesive and vision systems alone can’t spot trapped air. Aaron Alberts talks about how Sciemetric teamed with Graco to create a new data-driven quality assurance system for dispense to capture what a camera can’t.
The savings of commonality on the production line
There is a tendency to think about the line in terms of individual process, with separate solutions for force-distance monitoring, leak testing, torque testing, etc., rather than as a whole—but it doesn't have to be this way. With one common solution, like the sigPOD, one platform can do it all. Learn how commonality on the production line helps manufacturers save time and money.
How to improve valve tappet set monitoring: A case study
The valve tappet setting application can have a huge impact on the overall quality of an engine. If the valve tappets are not adjusted and tightened within precise parameters during manufacturing, it can cause premature wear and excessive engine noise during operation. Learn how Sciemetric helped an automotive manufacturer boost quality and repeatability with an efficient solution for the valve tappet set station.
Improve manufacturing defect detection using digital process signatures
Set more effective control limits on production tests using digital process signatures
Optimizing limits on your manufacturing test processes eliminates false failures and reduces the risk of giving bad parts a passing grade. This blog post discusses how to use digital process signatures to set more effective limits, more quickly, to produce higher quality parts, lower scrap/rework rates, and experience fewer recalls or warranty claims.
