Monitor Adhesive and Sealant Dispensing to Catch Defects
Sciemetric’s sigPOD uses digital process signature analysis to measure the dispensing of sealants, coatings and adhesives. It captures dispensing defects such as bubbles, air voids, partial hardening and issues such as low pressure, high pressure and dispensing time in real-time.

Application Note | Avoiding Destructive Pull-Tests for Weld
Resistance welding is commonly used in medical device manufacturing to join two metal subcomponents together. In many cases the integrity of this joint is critical to the long term reliability of the device, such as, for example, the attachment of a wire lead within a pacemaker. Read the Application Note to learn how Sciemetric provides a solution to avoid these defects.

Application Note: Detecting Debris Under Brake Caliper Seal
End-of-line leak tests were not catching some brake caliper defects. Process anomalies such as small debris pieces, or “chips” in the seal groove were resulting in very subtle defects which were impossible to detect. Caliper defects were being discovered by vehicle assembly plants or by customers, which led to expensive warranty repairs and productivity disruptions. The manufacturer required a solution with minimal tooling and fixturing modification that would reliably improve caliper quality without affecting yield. Read our application note to learn how Sciemetric solved the problem.

Application Note | Cold Engine Testing: Mechanical Integrity and Fuel Systems Tests
Engine manufacturers require a reliable and cost-effective end-of-line test to catch any defects missed during engine assembly. Hot testing, with its long cycle times and requirements for dedicated resources and facilities for stations, is expensive. Read our Application Note to learn about Sciemetric's solution.

Application Note: Crimp Nut Monitoring
A manufacturer of steering linkages required a method to measure and improve the quality and effectiveness of their idler arm assembly process, specifically the nut crimping operation. Their problem was that there was no way to determine the effectiveness of the operation as common problems such as cross-threading, missing crimp and “soft” crimping often occurred. Read this Application Note to learn how Sciemetric solved the problem.

Application Note: Engine Assembly In-Process Testing (IPT) Using Process Signature Analysis
Why wait until end-of-line testing to find defects and root-cause when that leads to increased repair costs and lowers productivity. An engine defect can be introduced at any machining or assembly station, the sooner the defects are found the better. Sciemetric’s Engine In-process testing (IPT) solution finds and contains the defect(s) through various monitors installed along critical operations important for quality assurance, such as force, torque, leak, vibration, etc. With easy generation of yield and trend reports including full drill down, it’s fast to find to find root cause. Read the Application Note to learn more.
