Downstream issues on the production line with leaks, non-secure parts and components, or unwanted noise and vibration can often be traced back to a flawed fluid dispense operation. The Sciemetric solution, using digital process signature analysis, allows manufacturers to identify faulty dispense operations as they occur and take corrective action. The result is reduced downtime, scrap, rework costs, warranty claims, and improved production efficiency and product quality.

Since the part is welded to the front axle, the assembly of the front axle bushing into a stamped metal bracket is a critical process. The visual and random mechanical inspections conducted post-assembly by a manufacturer were insufficient to identify defective parts and provide 100% guarantee of the integrity of the assembly during the service life of the vehicle.

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.

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.

An engine manufacturer required a solution to successfully monitor the crank force to verify the correct range of key parameters to ensure the quality of the connection of the connecting rods joining the pistons to crankshaft was not compromised. Sciemetric’s process monitor resolved the issue by closely monitoring the crank and peak force, bushing, falling slope and area under the curve while simultaneously monitoring both the cranking process and bushing press forces with a single system with a five second machine cycle time.

Spool valves require crimping at a precise location in order to ensure uniform and balanced flow characteristics. Before approaching Sciemetric, a spool valve manufacturer had been attempting to solve this problem with another company. After spending about $30,000 and many months attempting to develop another system to do the job, they still could not get the system to work. A 30-minute discussion with Sciemetric solved the problem: a simple five-line program was all that was needed to complete the task.
