Quality managers and engineers, like many other professionals, are often judged by what goes wrong. A product failure, a recall, or a customer complaint draws negative press, while processes that run smoothly can be taken for granted.

This article discusses automation in quality assurance, with a focus on physical properties testing and metrology, and highlights automated crush strength testing for catalyst pellets in the energy sector.

As demand for electric vehicles rises, the automotive industry must prioritize battery component quality. This article explores the critical role of how materials used in automotive battery manufacturing undergo rigorous mechanical testing to verify their quality and to maintain industry standards.

Torque testing raises unique challenges, and here we highlight varied examples in sectors where health and safety are paramount.

A brief overview of the key considerations when planning for a torque test, including the different types of torque testing, the different torque sensor styles, accessories, mounts, and other tips and tricks. 

As it expands its line of digital torque wrenches, Imada, Inc. added RGED Series wireless torque wrenches to its repertoire of torque testers.

Torque testing is an important quality-control step in nearly every manufacturing sector. Properly testing rotary parts for torque with handheld or automated gages can prevent everything from un-openable bottle caps to loose fasteners. Or, in a grave example, if GM properly acted on failed rotational torque tests of ignition switches in some of its mid-2000s models, 13 lives would have been saved.
