How to detect delamination of brake pads using impact response testing
Brake pads can be constructed of a variety of materials, which need to be securely bonded to a backing plate to function properly. Failure to ensure a proper bond between these materials can result in costly scrap and rework. In this blog post, Sciemetric's Jason Koval discusses how to detect delamination of brake pads using impact response testing.

Torque-to-Turn Testing 101, Part 1: How to identify defects during torque test
The first post in a two-part series, this post discusses how digital process signature analysis offers you accurate and effective defect detection during torque test. With parts that are meant to turn or rotate, how easy or how difficult it is to initiate that movement can reveal issues with the manufacturing operation, which digital process signatures can help you identify proactively.

NVH Testing Part 1: Transmission woes traced to nicked gears
John Perkins cites a use case for noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) testing. Digital process signature analysis using an accelerometer is put to the test against the traditional microphone approach to catch nicked gears in automotive transmissions on the line during production.
SPC can catch a problem, but only signature analysis can fix it fast
Joe Ventimiglio discusses how SPC (statistical process control) remains an effective means for manufacturers to spot production problems, but for effective quality management and to quickly trace root cause, you need more – digital process signature analysis.
