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.

Application Note | Brake Line Assembly Verification: Leak Testing and Part Correlation
A manufacturer was experiencing problems with truck rear brake assembly: very small leaks where brake line fluid would leak out of the line were going undetected, leading to expensive repairs and high warranty costs. The manufacturer required a solution that would test the entire rear brake line assembly process for accuracy and quality while able to determine the root cause of the defects. Read our application note to learn how Sciemetric fixed the problem.

Application Note | Fuel Injector Insertion Verification Using Force Monitoring
Fuel rail defects for a leading automotive manufacturer were traced to the improper insertion of fuel injectors into the fuel rail. The recurring defects were not found until late in assembly and represented a potential warranty issue as the injectors and fuel rails would experience premature wear due to the improper insertion. This risk along with high teardown and repair costs led the manufacturer to look for an efficient, reliable and effective way to monitor the simultaneous insertion of the three fuel rail injectors into the fuel rail. Read the Application Note to learn how Sciemetric fixed the problem.
