Leaks, unwanted noise and other defects found downstream on production lines are often due to missed issues during the press-fit process. Here are the 7 common feature checks Sciemetric uses to identify defects in your press operations.

Like any common manufacturing operation, a press-fit must be monitored to prevent flaws and defects from impacting part quality. In this series, we will dig into how press defects can be found using digital process signature analysis software, what to monitor in a press operation and also provide examples from actual press operations.

The second post in a two-part series, this post discusses common feature checks for torque-to-turn tests and the defects that can be identified using data analysis, indicated by specific deviations from the norm.

The first post in a two-part series, this post discusses how digital process signature analysis offers you accurate and effective defect detection during torque test. With parts that are meant to turn or rotate, how easy or how difficult it is to initiate that movement can reveal issues with the manufacturing operation, which digital process signatures can help you identify proactively.

Here are 5 tips to help improve your production line in 2020. We want to help manufacturers identify their problem points on the line and identify ways modern manufacturing technologies can be applied to start seeing improvements in the short-term—without a massive overhaul. 

The Sciemetric EDGE was designed with the flexibility to be able to monitor virtually any industrial process. At The Assembly Show 2019, we accepted the challenge to prove it—by monitoring a popcorn machine! Read more to learn how.

A variety of factors make it difficult to simulate the exact leak conditions battery packs will experience in the field, but there are strategies to achieve an effective battery pack leak test. Here are two of the key challenges you are likely to encounter with battery pack leak testing and strategies to overcome them.

In-process testing and digital process signature analysis eliminates the need for destructive pull-tests in crimp operations, while at the same time providing a near perfect degree of quality assurance that a pull-test just can't deliver. Learn how Sciemetric solutions improve crimp operations.

Tearing down an engine to find a problem when it fails an end-of-line test is costly and time-consuming. It’s much better to identify a quality issue upstream on the production line where it occurs. Learn how an automaker used digital process signatures to adjust their fuel rail insertion parameters to catch faulty insertions before they reach the end of the line.

The traditional approach to testing weld integrity is often destructive pull-test, with its shortcomings. Perfectly good assemblies may be ruined, while faulty ones can still slip through and be shipped for use. With digital process signature analysis, however, all the metrics that identify problems can measured to catch defective parts.
