In-process engine tests cut costs, raise quality
Sciemetric Instruments has completed deployment of its engine in-process testing to reduce costs and improve quality at the Mercury Marine engine plant in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin (USA).
With the ability to monitor variances in one to four ram press-fit processes, the SigPod Press can provide immediate detection of defective parts.
Unlike other press-fit monitoring systems, SigPod Press is uniquely capable of detecting process problems as well as defective parts.
Most competing systems simply measure a limited number of data points, which can result in missed defects or rejected good parts.
The SigPod Press has the ability to analyse the entire signature of each press-fit operation leading to consistent test results and fewer false failures than other press-fit monitoring solutions.
The advanced limit management capability of the SigPod, including auto-learn and maintain of limits, also leads to better and easier limit setting and fewer false rejects.
The SigPod Press is a compact, economical solution that can act as a stand-alone unit to monitor press-fit operations on manual workstations.
It can also be seamlessly integrated into an assembly process and act under the control of a PLC.
Easy to install and user friendly, the SigPod Press system is setup through a wizard menu system for specific press-fit monitoring needs in a matter of minutes, unlike other press-fit monitoring solutions that require costly on-site installation by a third party.
"SigPod Press delivers a system that will greatly improve defect detection of press-fit operations", said Nathan Sheaff, President and CEO of Sciemetric Instruments "SigPod Press answers one of the biggest pains facing today's manufacturers: false failures".
"SigPod Press generates fewer false failures and at the same time finds more defects than competitive press-fit monitoring systems".
"When the system does indicate a defect, factory floor personnel will have confidence in the results of the system".
The SigPod Press test system is now available to customers.
