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.

A major automotive manufacturer was looking for an accurate quality and process monitoring system to improve yield and reduce costly defects. They were having issues with chatter marks in a cam shaft grinding operation causing engine noise and vibration (NVH) and accelerating engine component wear. Sciemetric’s test and process monitoring system resolved the problem: it measures vibration quality control, condition-based wheel dress frequency, monitors machine health to prevent future defects and more.

Electronically operated transfer cases are difficult to test post-installation as it is unreliable and expensive, especially when defects are found. Sciemetric offers turnkey solutions for several test scenarios using signature analysis to detect and pinpoint defects in the transfer case (poor gear mesh, motor winding defects, and defective actuator), while accurately determining root-cause(s).

A major engine manufacturer was very concerned about the inconsistent quality of their shipped engines and the issues with unwanted noise and vibration, which often affect customer satisfaction. Traditional subjective testing failed to identify defects, which were eventually discovered at vehicle assembly plants or by customers. This led to expensive warranty repairs and productivity disruptions. The manufacturer required a solution with minimal tooling and fixturing modification that would reliably improve engine quality without affecting yield. read the Application Note to learn how Sciemetric solved their problem.
