In Process Test Monitoring (IPT)

Mfg-perfected-pinwheel

In-process testing (IPT), or in-process verification (IPV), is a proven methodology of critical-to-quality operations on a part as it is being manufactured. Using Sciemetric Industry 4.0 systems, you will catch product defects before they leave the production line, reducing costly scrap and wasted cycles.

Sciemetric’s in-process test and monitoring systems can be applied to nearly any test on your line, including crimp, dispense, press-force / press-fit, leak testing, noise and vibration and harshness testing (NVH), welding, functional testing, profile inspections, torque testing, and more. Our data management and industrial analytics software well help you realize use the data from your test stations to realize the benefits of Industry 4.0. Report on quality, quickly analyze and address issues, improve cycle time and productivity, and more.

IPT-Engine-overview

Crimp:

Detects missing wires and terminals, crimp issues, incorrect wire gauge and other defects.

Dispense:

Provides accurate detection and visualization of bubbles, air voids, or partial hardening during the dispensing and application of sealants, coatings, and adhesives.

Noise and Vibration:

Production line testing for rotating machinery and motorized assemblies.

Force-Distance Monitoring:

Monitors every step of the press force operation to accurately and reliably catch incorrect orientation, improper insertion, cracks, and other defects as they occur.

Torque:

Multi-channel torque and encoder signal support for testing engine shafts, electric motors, and more.

Gauge and Profile:

Identify surface defects, detect incorrect assemblies, and monitor planarity in flat parts.

Weld:

Monitors voltage, current, force, distance, amplitude, frequency, and power in automotive assemblies, medical assemblies, and more.

Leak Tests:

Plug and play connectivity for leak testing engine chambers, medical devices, and other parts and components where seal integrity is critical.

The most accurate manufacturing defect detection, powered by digital process signatures technology

Sciemetric_Signature-of-Quality

The sigPOD uses unique digital process signature technology to deliver the most accurate defect detection on the market. Most in-process test or monitoring systems rely on only a few points of measurement to identify a pass/fail, but the sigPOD measures hundreds or thousands of datapoints for a more accurate recording of the process. Our tools then apply complex algorithms to analyze this data to catch even the smallest deviations that could lead to product defects.

Overlay, analyze, visualize digital process signatures (or waveforms) to view trends across stations or focused on a single part (identified by serial number). Our technology helps you identify the root cause of defects, access insights to improve test limits, adjust cycle times and moreusing precise data rather than guesswork.
