Signalysis, Inc. software

SigQC analyzes components, subassemblies and products to determine, in real-time, if quality goals are met. The system can be integrated into existing manufacturing lines providing a completely automated PASS-FAIL inspection solution. Flexible and scalable, SIGQC adapts to meet your current and future production and laboratory applications.

Responsiveness is critical in today’s quality-driven manufacturing environments. Unchecked quality issues can result in excessive scrap, customer complaints, and lost contracts. Highly configurable Signalysis INSIGHT puts critical data at your fingertips for fast, informed decision-making. INSIGHT connects your SigQC-driven systems for a tightly integrated quality inspection environment. With the ability to simultaneously monitor, track, and report on production unit failure rates and test system performance, INSIGHT alerts users to problems and provides the data and visibility to identify the cause and take quick decisive action.

Today’s brake system suppliers are faced with quality requirements that far exceed identifying manufacturing defects. Vehicle OEMs are now calling for the inspection and conformance to resonance frequencies along with the identification of specific mode shapes – such as nodal diameters, infriction, and hat modes. Ensuring that such critical and specifications are met requires a sophisticated and objective test system. Unfortunately, many brake rotor and brake drum manufacturers continue to rely on machine integration or home-grown solutions for their quality inspectors. The key is to implement objective test and analysis solutions born from the same Modal Analysis Theory that the OEMs use to design the performance criteria written into their print specifications.

Manufacturers of camshafts, and similar parts, are always battling casting issues that result in cracks, chips, voids, and other defects.  These quality killers are nearly impossible to detect visually, or with AI vision systems, making 100% inspection challenging and time consuming with traditional methods. Signalysis Quality Test systems are fast, reliable, and provide 100% objective inspection. Our crack inspection algorithms are built on a foundation of FEM, Physics, Structural Dynamics, and Strength of Materials. Supported with decades of practical hands-on experience and a career’s worth of work performed at NASA, this unique expertise starts by analyzing your parts and understanding how defects alter the intended modal response for the part under test.

All structures, buildings, bridges, automobiles, airplanes, dishwashers, dental drills, roller coasters, and so on, will exhibit a mechanical vibration signature reflecting its material properties.  The Dinger applies a known excitation force and measures vibration to identify the resonance frequencies of the structure. One might assume that all manufactured parts are built to design and created equal.  However in the real world this is not the case as a component occasionally doesn’t meet design specifications. Such defects can easily be identified and measured by computing a Frequency Response Function and extracting parameters such as Resonance Frequency, Percent Critical Damping, Q-Factor and even a more complex matrix of these modal parameters.  The Dinger has been designed to have a smaller footprint, a higher frequency range with additional math functions for modeling the most complex of applications.
