Air Valve Testing to Streamline a Manufacturing Line ThroughputPublished on December 10, 2012 Manufacturer: ADwinMeasurements: Pressure CAS DataLoggers recently provided the data acquisition and control solution for a factory supervisory team looking to solve a quality control problem on their main manufacturing line. Their process was experiencing issues from a valve controlling an air jet used to blow faulty-looking components off the line after they failed an optical inspection. However, these parts often kept moving down the line rather than being immediately rejected as intended. The team contacted CAS ... |

Validating Brake Performance on a Prototype Passenger CarPublished on December 5, 2012 Manufacturer: ADwinMeasurements: Speed, Temperature CAS DataLoggers recently supplied an advanced DAQ system for an automotive manufacturer who needed to evaluate the reliability of a prototype vehicle’s braking system. The front disk pad temperatures, MPH, average deceleration and braking duration all needed to be recorded immediately before the brakes were applied. Therefore the customer needed a data acquisition device which could quickly ‘drill down’ on the braking event’s data and store the data on external RAM, and which... |

Monitoring and Controlling a Die Casting PressPublished on July 16, 2012 Manufacturer: ADwinMeasurements: Displacement, Force, Pressure, Speed CAS DataLoggers recently supplied the data acquisition and control solution for a prominent manufacturer operating die cast presses. These presses used hydraulic systems to force molten metal into a die, forming intricately-shaped parts requiring little final machining for use as engine components, transmissions and other parts. Control over the injection process was often managed by a PLC--however, these conventional PLCs lacked adequate response times to maintain the tight ... |

Injection Valve and Pump Testing in Real-TimePublished on June 11, 2012 Manufacturer: ADwinMeasurements: CAS DataLoggers recently provided the datalogging solution for a large manufacturer who needed to test its injection valves and pumps to be used in a wide variety of engines. These valves consisted of compact modules containing the magnetic circuit and the valve unit, controlled by a digital signal from the ECU (electronic control unit) which started the movement of the valve. Wear on the proportional valves also needed to be recorded over millions of cycles. A proposed test ... |

Production Test: Monitoring a Metal Stamping PressPublished on May 7, 2012 Manufacturer: ADwinMeasurements: Force CAS DataLoggers recently provided the real-time data acquisition solution for an automotive manufacturer using metal stamping presses to shape their torque converters. Stamping was used to create a series of indentations that held metal vanes used to transmit the power from the engine to the transmission though a fluid. Hydraulic cylinders were used to force a hardened punch into the metal which was displaced into a corresponding die, creating 136 separate indentations. Howev... |

Material Testing: Monitoring Metal Fatigue Crack GrowthPublished on March 5, 2012 Manufacturer: ADwinMeasurements: Displacement, Force CAS DataLoggers recently supplied the data acquisition and control solution for a prominent manufacturer of material used in the aviation and aerospace industries. Characterizing the growth rate of cracks in metal samples under repeated cyclical stress was critical to the customer: typically, a material test system incorporating a closed loop servo-hydraulic system was employed to apply a repetitive stress to the sample while the growth rate was monitored by one of several me... |

Test Automation for Shock Absorber ProductionPublished on February 13, 2012 Manufacturer: ADwinMeasurements: CAN/OBD, Serial CAS DataLoggers recently provided the modular data acquisition and control solution for an automotive manufacturer using test systems to determine the dynamic characteristics and parameters of their line of shock absorbers. On the factory’s production lines, test benches ensured a higher level of quality through individual component testing. All the test information and data needed to be transferred to a PLC control system via Ethernet or a Fieldbus interface so that it could... |

Endurance Test Application: Monitoring Failure of Flexible Joint BootsPublished on October 3, 2011 Manufacturer: ADwinMeasurements: Speed CAS DataLoggers recently provided the data acquisition and control solution for an automotive supply company conducting endurance testing for flexible joint boots. As part of the normal engineering process, it was often necessary to measure the reliability of mechanical assemblies over long periods of time under various stress conditions. This required that data on the assembly line be recorded and that wear-out or failure mechanisms undergo routine evaluation. In the case of... |
