In the competitive electric vehicle (EV) industry, perfecting the battery tray's aluminum weld design is critical. It houses essential components and safety ensuring precise integration is crucial to prevent potential hazards such as torsion-induced bending of both the battery tray and the vehicle body due to thermal expansion of battery cells.

Plant engineers and quality departments often struggle with zero point drift during air leak testing, where the initial zero reading shifts over time, leading to frequent adjustments of the leak test instrument. This article addresses the causes of zero drift, commonly attributed to changes in shop floor temperature, and provides strategies to minimize or eliminate this issue for improved efficiency in quality control processes.

The integration of 3D scanning and additive manufacturing has opened new possibilities in metrology. Analyzing the technical intricacies of 3D laser scanning hardware and software reveals their pivotal role in shaping engineering's future.

In this article, we narrow the focus to the specific domain of crush testing for granules, pellets, and similar test specimens.

Accelerated weathering instruments are designed to reproduce the stress and damages caused by sunlight, heat, and water (rain/dew). Typically, testing can reproduce within weeks the damage that occurs over months or years.
