End-of-Line (EoL)
Quality control
on the test bench

The concept of bundled testing of workpieces at the end of the manufacturing process offers a number of advantages when it comes to optimizing production. Production lines and complex welded constructions in particular benefit from this form of quality assurance.

End-of-line quality assurance in the automotive industry

A major customer for EoL test benches is the automotive industry. It is therefore worth taking a look at this first. Production lines in the automotive industry must pay very close attention to the quality of production in order to maintain their reputation. Even the smallest errors can cause considerable damage to the company.

An end-of-line test bench offers the advantage that no untested components leave the production line. The product is only fully tested after all manufacturing processes have been completed. This brings quality control closer to the real area of application, especially for vehicle parts. In the automotive industry, for example, finished engines can be subjected to 100% testing. Engine test benches determine the engine-specific characteristic values such as power and torque and also check compliance with important parameters such as efficiency.

Efficient EoL testing with elunic

However, a more complex inspection process does not necessarily mean a more complex production line. In order to ensure a realistic quality inspection of a production part, it is usually necessary to resort to off-line testing. This provides a lot of information about the quality of the product with a short latency. However, the production line must be interrupted after each sub-step and several test benches must also be installed.

The EoL Quality assurance can significantly reduce these installation costs by reducing to a fully comprehensive test bench and even positively influence the complexity of the entire production line. elunic can ensure that the increased testing effort does not become a bottleneck in the production chain by optimizing your testing systems. The increased demands on the cycle time of the test bench are a particular focus here. Compared to conventional test systems, it is even possible to save valuable floor space.
