|
 | Turn-Key Solutions:
no matter what the requirements are for a machine, Advanced Systems and
Controls has the in-house capability to design, assemble, and
commission, on time and on budget. |
 | Hardware Flexibility: the type of hardware used (motors, cylinders, valves, controls hardware, sensors, instrumentation, etc) can be specified by the customer. |
 | Machine Analysis and Automation:
we have years of experience analyzing machines and processes for cycle
time, repeatability, and process capability. Our new machines are
always fully qualified with documentary support, and we can also
qualify existing machines and processes with industry standard analysis
techniques. |
 | Integration: we can provide a stand-alone, offline test machine, or we can integrate a machine into a new or existing process, including process tracking and data collection. |
 | Software Services:
our proprietary machine automation and digital signal processing
techniques result in a greater level of machine reliability, process
repeatability, and measurement accuracy. |
| Gear Backlash - Dynamic Backlash | ||
| The ASC3012 OP280 Dynamic Backlash Tester measures an axle's backlash. Traditionally, backlash is measured using a dial indicator or an automated machine: three points around the ring gear are typically measured. A dynamic backlash tester measures hundreds of samples across the gearset: this is equivalent to measuring the gearset's backlash by hand hundreds of times. Information about ring gear warpage, ring gear and pinion runout, and even noise issues can be derived from this data. | ||

| Signal Verification - Active ABS Tester | ||
 |
Advanced Systems and Controls is a leader in the development and production of ABS test systems. The
ASC3382 Active ABS Tester is representative of these types of machines. The machine tests a full axle assembly with wheel end tone rings. Standard ABS sensors (provided by the customer) are injected automatically and the tone rings are analyzed for defects. |

Machine Type | production test machine |
| Controls Package | Siemens
PLC and HMI industrial PC |
|
| Cycle Time | 18 seconds | |
| Signal Repeatability | 10% GR&R on all characteristics | |
| Notes | Full
sets of test results can be 'replayed' on the machine (or on a
development or maintenance computer) to support detection of subtle
signal flaws. |
| Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) | |||
The ASC3012 OP340 NVH machine tests an axle assembly under varying, moderate torque loads. Sensors detect torque vibrations generated by the gearset, and this vibration is used to determine a torque-induced 'noise' level of the axle. |

Machine Type | production test machine | |
| Controls Package |  | Siemens PLC and HMI | |
 | standard PC National Instruments PXI Controller | ||
| Cycle Time | 55 seconds | ||
| Repeatability | masters to benchmark parts | ||
| Notes | The system is capable of production even if the PC (used as an interface to the PXI controller) is not running. | |
