Simcenter™ Anovis™ system easily integrates into end-of-line (EoL) test benches or production lines to ensure both product and process manufacturing quality. Our testing system combines all necessary sensors, accurate sound and vibration signal recording hardware, smart signal analysis, and flexible test bench control software to precisely perform pass or fail checks and to deliver a formal proof that the part meets its specifications or that the machine operates safely

The reliability of our assessment features is secured by standard Measurement System Analysis (MSA) methods as known in Quality Assurance (QA). Based on innovative sound and vibration-based fault detection algorithms, which combine automatic limit adaptation with classic NVH measurement features, Simcenter Anovis automatically identifies product or process anomalies within seconds.

Our proven test procedures, based on decades of industry expertise, optimize for the shortest possible cycle time. Our standardized system easily adapts to a wide range of automotive applications, ranging from end-of-line testing of rotating machinery, over non-destructive component testing using acoustic resonance testing (ART), and up to production machine monitoring with vibration and sound analysis.

Simcenter Anovis, which stands for acoustic noise and vibration signal testing system, is our standard platform for industrial quality testing. It combines all necessary sensors, accurate sound and vibration signal record-ing hardware, smart signal analysis and flexible interfaces to test bench control software to automatically perform pass/fail checks, delivering formal proof the part meets its specifications or the machine operates safely. It is robust, reliable and can be swiftly integrated  into EoL test benches and production lines to deliver both product and process manufacturing quality.

Sound and vibration recording

The reliability, precision and modularity of Simcenter Anovis hardware makes it an excellent choice for integrating with EoL test benches. Our signal recording device records a variety of sensors over large bandwidths, including vibration (accelerom-eter or laser vibrometers), sound (microphone), rotational speed (high-preci-sion tachometer), temperature and torque. The channel count is scalable, and it is available in a 19-inch rack-mountable unit or as a compact German Institute for Standardization (DIN) rail mountable ver-sion. The hardware can be seamlessly integrated with Simcenter Anovis software.

Smart signal analysis

Innovative sound and vibration-based fault detection algorithms are embedded in Simcenter Anovis software. It combines auto-matic limit adaptation with classic NVH measurement features to automatically identify product and process anomalies within seconds. The software analyzes the recorded signals based on smart methods operating in fre-quency, order, angle and time domain, and reliably detects quality-relevant fault patterns. Statistical assessment procedures dynamically tune thresholds and turn the system into a self-learning system, reducing setup effort and expertise required.

Flexible test-bench integration

Using Simcenter Anovis software enables you to convert decades of industrial expertise in automated NVH test procedures, delivering minimal cycle time. Test bench integration is flexible and scalable. Simcenter Anovis can act as an intelligent sensor to the test bench, which sets abnormality limits. Or it can operate as a self-learning system that automatically tunes parameters based on preset quality criteria. Or Simcenter Anovis can provide the quality control engineer with flexible  configurable software to adapt to changing requirements at the click of a mouse.
