In-process test solutions for engine assembly
Sciemetric's Engine In-Process Test (IPT) solutions are designed to maximize the productivity and quality of engine manufacturing.
Sciemetric's suite of off-the-shelf test systems for in-process testing of engines includes the following systems:
- Short Block Crank Torque to Turn
- Short Block Verification
- Oil Cavity and Coolant Cavity Leak Test
- Long Block Verification
- Cold Test

Sciemetric's Engine IPT solutions enable engine manufacturers to find defects early in the engine assembly process. This results in the following benefits for engine manufacturers:
1. Improve quality and reduce warranty costs over Engine Hot Tests
Sciemetric IPT solutions can find engine defects in early assembly stages can not be detected by hot test methods. Engine defects that escape undetected from hot test can later manifest themselves as costly warranty claims.
2. Reduce hot test costs
Implementing Sciemetric Engine IPT solutions allow engine manufactueres to reduce and/or eliminate engine hot test stations.
3. Reduce repair costs
Sciemetric's Engine IPT solutions can identify defects at the point of introduction. This early detection enhances root cause understanding and minimizes repair time and effort.
4. Reduce wasted cycle time and improve yield
Engines with defects are stopped from proceeding through the manufacturing process before even undergoing hot test. The ability to remove defective engines as early as possible improves manufacturing efficiency.
