Detecting machining defects early is crucial to maintaining quality and reducing waste. Yet, many issues – such as weak bonding in the metal fin caulking process – aren’t immediately visible. At first product may seem fine, however, defects can occur when the bonding isn't as robust as it should be, leading to issues like metal fins detaching in later stages.
The challenge lies in identifying these hidden faults before they impact production on a larger scale. How can manufacturers stay ahead of such issues? The answer lies in predictive maintenance, which enables real-time monitoring and early detection of defects, preventing faulty products from reaching the next stage.
