SenSound

Booth 938

SenSound's SenQC test systems provide accurate noise related quality control and non-contact defect detection through acoustic signatures on the manufacturing line, quickly and without the need for an acoustic enclosure. Identifying the sound output of a product on manufacturing lines is usually impossible in a noisy manufacturing environment without the use of a costly enclosure. Acoustic signatures can often detect defects that can not be identified by other means, but again these are difficult to identify reliably in a noisy manufacturing environment. SenQC eliminates the need for that enclosure, saving money and cycle time in testing.
