Application Note: Leak Testing of Carburetor Assemblies
When a manufacturer’s carburetor line had to gear up to take on the production of another plant, the Sentinel 3520 enabled them to meet the challenge. By dramatically improving the cycle time of their leak test system not only did they reduce the number of leak test stations by half, allowing them to incorporate the test into the line, they improved their quality.

Application Note | Power Steering Pump Assembly: Force Versus Distance Process Monitoring
A faulty pulley being incorrectly pressed onto the pump shaft resulted in faulty power steering pumps. The manufacturer required a cost-effective solution to verify that the pulley was securely pressed into the pump shaft prior to final assembly. In one case, Sciemetric’s press monitoring system was installed to find the defects before final assembly by performing various tests with each part including press force, and pulley height checks during assembly, providing detailed signatures of the press, position while storing all data for complete traceability.
