Manufacturers looking for a quick way to perform in-line pass/fail acoustic tests have a new option called SenQC, a software-based quality control system suited for use across a range of industries.
SenQC, offered by Detroit-based SenSound, LLC, works by filtering out environmental noise during assembly line acoustic quality control or non-contact defect detection testing without the need for a separate sound chamber, potentially saving manufacturers of sound-emitting products or components time as well as equipment and maintenance costs.
"Typically, when you're trying to measure sound output, you need to take the product off the manufacturing line and into an isolated sound enclosure, or somehow insert the enclosure around the object," said SenSound President Sergio Mazza. "The problem is that the use of enclosures adds cycle time to test procedures, and they're usually expensive and difficult to maintain."
