Process Monitoring for Advanced Manufacturing
Laser Cladding & DED
Automation Acoustics technology is detecting sub-surface faults in laser cladding processes.
Thermal Spray
Our acoustic analysis platform is being used to identify nozzle blockages and other faults in thermal spray processes.
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing
The addition of acoustic monitoring has enabled early fault detection in wire arc additive manufacturing.
Acoustic Monitoring
The missing piece of Industry 4.0
Every process, every fault emits a unique sound.
Correlating specific sounds with critical faults enables real-time corrective action.
- A Digital Twin generated from acoustic data visualizes where and when process non-conformance occurs.
- With the right technology, enclosed Advanced Manufacturing cells are a rich source of process knowledge.
- Acoustics are high resolution / low data intensity, enabling a complete process understanding.
