Spotting bubbles with process data
Vision systems can’t see air trapped within gasketing material, so an automotive powertrain supplier turned to Sciemetric to find a new way to spot bubbles before they compromised seals. Sciemetric account manager Aaron Alberts shares with Today’s Motor Vehicles how and why Sciemetric worked with fluid handling products and systems company Graco to create the Graco Dispense Analyzer.
Effective Leak Testing: Are you testing the part or the seal?
A poor seal between the part to be tested and the leak test station can skew test results, allowing faulty parts to pass and perfectly good ones to be failed. In this feature published by Automation.com, Sciemetric leak test specialist Robert Plumridge explores how quality engineers can address the common issues with achieving a consistently reliable seal to ensure a reliable test.
A new look at leak testing
Sciemetric CEO Nathan Sheaff talks to the editors of Smart Industry about how digital transformation and big data analysis have converged to create a new generation of intelligent leak test systems that provide manufacturers with the reliability and the repeatability to achieve a higher standard of production quality.
Smart Leak Tester Grades on Curve
Richard Brine, Sciemetric’s CTO, talks to the editors of New Equipment Digest about the 3520 Series Leak Test and how its use of smart sensors, precision electronics and digital process signature analysis delivers a new level of repeatability and reliability to the often frustrating process of leak testing.
Temperature Effects on Reported Leak Rate
Sciemetric product launch manager Robert Ouellette shares with Quality Magazine how quality engineers can measure and compensate for the sometimes dramatic effects of temperature variations on the accuracy and repeatability of a leak test.
Quality: Starting with Effective Data Management
Richard Brine, Sciemetric’s CTO, discusses with Industrial Machinery Digest how manufacturers must evolve beyond scalar data collection and analysis alone to rise to the big data challenge posed by Industry 4.0. He outlines the need for centralized collection and analysis of the digital process signatures, or waveforms, generated by every cycle of the process and test stations on the line.
Better Tools for Data Analysis Measurement/Visualization are Improving Yield and Reducing Warranty Claims
Sciemetric CEO Nathan Sheaff talks to the editors of OEM Off-Highway Magazine about how “Industry 4.0” is really about breaking down data silos and making effective use of production data to increase yield, improve quality and optimize processes.
The Industrial Revolution 4.0 - Data, Connectivity and Automation
Sciemetric CEO Nathan Sheaff shares his thoughts with the editors of OEM Off-Highway Magazine on how better tools for measurement, data analysis and data visualization are crucial for manufacturers to be more competitive and profitable in an Industry 4.0 world.
The Birth of In-Process Testing
An automaker’s search for something better than hot test redefined quality on the assembly line with the introduction of Sciemetric's Process Signature Verification (PSV) technology for in-process test monitoring and analysis. In the years that have followed, Sciemetric technology and our customers' adoption of it have evolved with the emergence of Industry 4.0 and the smart factory.
The Basics of Torque Testing
Former Sciemetric product marketing manager Bruce Takasaki shares with Quality Magazine where and how torque testing is most effective as a quality assurance process on a production line and what types of test are best depending on the part or assembly in question.
