Application Note | Piston Ring Verification System: Laser Gaging Using Signature Analysis
A manufacturer was experiencing problems with the inconsistent quality of their shipped engines, leading to customer complaints and expensive teardowns after engine hot/cold test. The problem was traced to improperly stacked compression rings. Sciemetric resolved the problem by installing our advanced laser gaging technology system to accurately detect even the slightest defects such as upside down, bent, and incorrect positioning of each compression ring.

Application Note: Verification of Piston Type & Orientation Using Laser Scanning
A major automotive integrator was unable to test any one of four engine blocks right after piston insertion and defects being found after final engine assembly were causing expensive teardowns. Sciemetric easily installed a test and analysis system using laser scanning to verify the engine blocks to ensure correct positioning and accurately find defects such as under or oversized and bent pistons.

Application Note | Power Steering Pump: Vane Defect Detection Using Signature Analysis
A power steering pump manufacturer required a solution that accurately detected the most subtle vane defects prior to final assembly to avoid costly tear downs due to the objectionable noise and vibration (NVH) they can create. A Sciemetric test and analysis system was installed and configured to observe the pressure waveform, allowing easy detection of missing, nicked, bent and slightly stuck vanes.

Application Note: Transfer Line Load Monitoring
The transfer lines are often subjected to substantial loads and forces during the transfer process. Recently, a transfer line that was being used to transfer automobile bodies on a body weld line began experiencing problems with pin shear as a direct result of the force required to move the parts. A Sciemetric test and analysis system was used and provided a quick and easy solution to the problem. The system was configured to monitor and collect for fifteen seconds the compression and tension force data from a load cell configured on a transfer line (the entire process occurred in eleven seconds).
