…built, patented & proven
Executive Summary• QuadraScan Technologies has developed a patented* technology that
targets a significant quality, production and manufacturing related problem, leak detection and location.
• The Problem, intrusions, leading to the passenger compartment can result in water leaks, wind and road noise issues. Detection of intrusions and/or build variation is an integral part of Quality Control (QC). Manufacturers have traditionally relied on test processes such as the water booth, which are potentially damaging, costly, and raise environmental and plant safety issues. Traditional subjective noise evaluation is not only time consuming, but relies on favorable ambient conditions to conduct the testing, and can only be performed on a select few vehicles.
• The Solution, the QuadraSonic ArrayTM identifies and locates intrusion points and/or build variation in a non-destructive fashion. Our technology utilizes ultrasound to test the “sealed effectiveness” of closed compartments. This technology provides an accurate, repeatable, and unbiased data instrument empowering the manufacturer to adopt a quantitative scale of measurement
The QuadraSonic Array is Built, Patented & Proven *patent #6983642
What The Array Does…
• Tests for Intrusions, leading to the passenger compartment
– The QuadraSonic Array utilizes ultrasound energy to test the “sealed effectiveness” of all types of closed compartments.
• Tests build variation – During the design phase of new makes and models and variations during
production providing quantitative data.
• Compares vendor/ supplier products– Focus on “Sealed Effectiveness”
• Creates an archived “UltraSound Fingerprint” – Can be used in analysis of quality standards and referenced in the case
of future warranty problems
• Real-time remote “Quality Test Auditing ”– All information archived
The Benefit
• Provide an immediate return on investment by;– Increased sales from improved JD Power and Associates
ratings.
– Enhancing the plants quality control process
– Reducing wind and water related after-market warranty costs
– Opening valuable plant floor space.
– Eliminating water booth maintenance costs.
– Eliminating rework to vehicles damaged by water booth testing.
– Eliminating water and chemicals; thus having a positive impact on environmental and safety standards
