Torque-to-Turn Testing 101, Part 1: How to identify defects during torque test
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.

NVH Testing Part 1: Transmission woes traced to nicked gears
John Perkins cites a use case for noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) testing. Digital process signature analysis using an accelerometer is put to the test against the traditional microphone approach to catch nicked gears in automotive transmissions on the line during production.
