SCIEMETRIC® Announces the 3520 NVH Transmission Test System
Exceptional precision in transmission defect detection dramatically reduces costs and improves quality
Ottawa, Ontario, August 16, 2002 – Sciemetric®, the global leader in manufacturing defect detection, is pleased to introduce the innovative 3520 NVH Transmission Test System. Using advanced algorithms and leading edge NVH testing technology, the 3520 system quickly exposes even the smallest flaws in production quality. Known for its exceptional precision and consistent performance, the 3520 accurately identifies a wide range of transmission problems, including abnormal gear geometry, gear damage, bearing problems, excessive vibration and loose or rubbing components.
Traditional transmission testing systems often fail to capture these subtle, but crucial, defects. Due to inconsistent monitoring, quality deficiencies frequently go undetected until the transmission reaches the automotive assembly plant or end customer. Problems arising at these late stages inevitably lead to escalating warranty claims, expensive repair costs and reduced productivity. As customers become increasingly sensitive to automotive noises and vibration, manufacturers are noticing a growing intolerance of transmission-related defects.
By installing the 3520 NVH Transmission Test System, manufacturers can virtually eliminate these quality concerns. Practical, efficient and easy-to-use, the 3520 system integrates seamlessly into existing end-of-line test stands. Sciemetric’s revolutionary Signature Analysis software consistently delivers objective, verifiable evaluations of transmission quality, ensuring that defective products are identified long before shipping. With an impressive track record for out-performing conventional testing technology, the 3520 system has a proven reputation for:
· maximizing customer satisfaction
· dramatically reducing warranty claims and charge backs, and
· lowering costs
According to Nathan Sheaff, Sciemetric’s Chairman, "Sciemetric’s Signature Analysis technology sets the global standard for defect detection and quality control. Our clear leadership position in the automotive manufacturing test market confirms our solid and successful track record. The introduction of the 3520 NVH Transmission Test System further validates our reputation for delivering exceptional technology that helps our customers achieve the ultimate goal of zero defects.”
The 3520 NVH Transmission Test System is now available to customers.
