Quality Insights

Catch Bubbles During Dispense

After numerous leaks and the threat of warranty claims, this manufacturer needed an accurate monitoring solution to catch bubbles at their adhesive dispense station, which were causing the defects. The sigPOD delivered, drastically decreasing scrap and rework costs and line downtime.

Catch Weak Welds

Stop wasting time and money on destructive pull-tests and limited-accuracy batch testing. By applying real-time process monitoring solutions using the powerful built-in analysis functions of the sigPOD, manufacturers can eliminate waste and ensure that every weld is done correctly.

Catch Faulty Snap Ring Installation

When inconsistent snap ring installations were causing major problems with axles down the assembly line, this manufacturer required a solution to provide reliable monitoring and pass/fail reporting at the station. Sciemetric’s sigPOD solution delivered, reducing downtime and rework costs. 

Catch Improper Crimp & Stakes

Batch quality testing practices in crimp and stake applications cause high scrap rates and waste. Sciemetric’s process monitoring solutions drastically increase efficiency, lower scrap rates, and offer robust historical test data management for continued quality assurance and part traceability.
