CHANGING THE FIELD OF END OF LINE QUALITY CONTROL

Looking for an affordable quality control system without comprising? Meet AQCURA: the solution that combines cutting-edge sensor technology and advanced machine learning to objectively identify manufacturing defects and determine product quality. AQCURA is set to change the field of End of line quality control testing. Providing a revolutionary innovative end-of-line testing solution! Helping you ensure that only the right products leave your factory and end up with your clients.

AQCURA provides a contactless measurement solution capable of characterizing complex vibro-acoustic problems across a broad frequency, ranging from 20Hz up to 10kHz. The unique properties offered by the Microflown particle velocity sensor in terms of natural background noise reduction, in combination with a simple yet effective soundproof enclosure, enable AQCURA to perform acoustic measurements in loud factory conditions with ease. Providing an elegant and low-maintenance solution suitable for testing products in any manufacturing environment. While eliminating the need for expensive robotic test stands. Due to its simplicity, AQCURA can be efficiently integrated into existing manufacturing lines.

SCALABLE EOL QC SOFTWARE 

 AQCURA software exists out of two main software modules, the manager and the tester. The manager module is used by an operator where can custom or pre-programmed testing routines can be defined. Once the routines are defined the manager hands a list of instructions that will be executed automatically by the tester module. The tester then executes the testing routines. AQCURA excels in flexibility; it can be used in combination with any sensor or testing routine and is easily scalable. This allows control of multiple production lines from a single manager module.

 How does it work? 

 Until the invention of the Microflown sensor, acousticians were limited to the use of microphones to quantify sound. Being a scalar value, sound pressure provides information about the magnitude and phase of the sound field at the measurement location. Unlike sound pressure, particle velocity is a vector quantity and is thus described by magnitude and phase, as well as direction. Measuring three-dimensional particle velocity at one single spot in the sound field would provide a better description of a sound wave’s physical behavior. Moreover, the physical behavior of particle velocity coupled with the unique features of the Microflown sensor, allow for accurate measurements under non-anechoic conditions, such as manufacturing environments. The two most important benefits are explained in the near field effect and directivity.
