It is a pretty simple principle. Before you release your final product to the market or your client, you want to make sure there are no errors to prevent rework product failures, recalls, and scrap. To ensure that only the error-free product leaves the factory, you need to build an efficient quality check procedure with top-notch end-of-line testing equipment. The keywords you need to keep in mind when deploying such a process at your plant are time-efficiency \u2013 continuous production optimization \u2013<\/strong><\/strong> precision.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why NVH-based end-of-line-testing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Looking to the automotive industry, car manufacturers and suppliers of components such as engines, transmissions, steering components, and electric motors have adopted vibro-acoustic assessment for the end of line test systems. This technology relies on 100% vibro-acoustic measurements in the production cycle of the final products. The end-of-line testing process starts with the recording of vibration and sound signals using dedicated sensors. (Read this blog post for a detailed technical explanation.<\/a>) Why this technology? There are many benefits. Let me name the most important ones. This kind of test a test happens within few seconds and brings immediate pass-or-fail results, and it is easy to imbed in the production line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Simcenter Anovis<\/a> you can process data collected using advanced algorithms and automatically identify the product imperfection and the root-cause. Especially with the vehicle’s progressing electrification, car manufacturers and suppliers seek different end-of-line test stands reflecting new needs. As electrified engines emit lower sound levels than combustion engines, there might be errors in vibro-acoustic errors at higher frequencies. That means that the failure results in very prominent and annoying noise. (Check out this blog post for the end-of-line testing definition for electrified powertrains.<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
