CQI-9 Calls for Non-Contact Thermography: Most Plants Still Aren’t Using It to Its Full Potential
Article Summary: From Checkbox Compliance to Total Process Control While the AIAG CQI-9 4th Edition explicitly authorizes non-contact thermography for thermal process validation, most automotive manufacturing plants fail to utilize it to its full potential. Relying on traditional, legacy contact sensors introduces unmanaged risk, leaving quality teams completely blind to dynamic, localized thermal variation. This […]
Why Thermal Imaging Is the Only Reliable Validation for Hot Stamping
How full-field infrared monitoring catches the heat-treat defects that thermocouples never see before they become scrap, rework, or a recall. Hot stamping is one of the most thermally demanding manufacturing processes in the automotive supply chain. A boron steel blank must be heated to austenitizing temperatures between 900°C and 950°C, transferred rapidly into a forming […]
