SCIEMETRIC® Announces the 3400 Multi-Ram Press Monitoring System

Exceptional accuracy in press monitoring dramatically reduces costs and improves quality

Detroit, MI (PRWEB) March 16, 2004 -- Sciemetric®, the global leader in manufacturing defect detection and product quality management systems, unveiled the 3400 Multi-Ram Press Monitoring SystemTM today at the SAE World Congress. Using advanced algorithms, the 3400 system quickly finds even the smallest flaws in high-volume press environments. Known for its exceptional precision and repeatability, the 3400 accurately identifies a wide range of defects and process problems in press operations such as, but not limited to, dowel insertion, cup-plug press, and valve seat and guide insertion.

By capturing and analyzing the entire force and distance waveform with Sciemetrics advanced algorithms, the 3400 can find defects other systems cant. Conventional techniques such as peak detection or window analysis are not as comprehensive and will not allow you to detect defects that can have a big impact on your overall product quality.

The 3400 also provides asynchronous testing. In multiple ram presses, if a defect is discovered on the first ram, the part is rejected immediately without having to wait for the other rams to complete. This capability will save valuable cycle time.

The 3400 is the result of many years of research and development and will build on Sciemetrics long history of reducing production costs and helping improve manufacturing quality for our customers. The combination of advanced defect detection at a low cost per ram is sure to make the 3400 the industry choice for multiple ram press monitoring." said Nathan Sheaff, Chairman and CEO at Sciemetric.

The 3400 Multi-Ram Press Monitoring System is now available to customers.
