We Stay Active!​


Even during the corona quarantine, we at QASS continue to pursue the goal of inspiring you with new technology! A paradigm shift to a more diverse product world with even better measurement technology has taken place! Digitalization and maximum user-friendliness are as always at the heart of our activities. Learn more about our latest measurement technology products, get to know our smart graphical user interface and let us convince you of our future-oriented concepts for measurement data handling.

Optimizer4D Cannot only Perform Structure-Borne Sound Measurement but More

Our measuring system is nowadays applied in a variety of production processes, such as straightening, component assembly, or plastic injection molding. In 2016, we have also added magnetic-inductive methods to our portfolio with which component hardness and density as well as grinding burn and heat treatment defects can be detected in a non-destructive manner. A unique feature of our measurement technology is that we can also monitor production processes that are hidden from the user’s view. We achieve this by using acoustic and micromagnetic signals such as structure-borne noise or Barkhausen noise to monitor manufacturing processes or to perform quality tests. A good example is our latest application that allows you to monitor the snap-in process of retaining rings that occur inside components. We measure the characteristic, often inaudible acoustics of the snap-in process and can tell exactly if the retaining ring has snapped in successfully and without offset. Such snap-in processes are, for instance, used in the production of cardan or drive shafts. Our new measuring systems also monitor production processes without damaging the measured components. Thanks to our unique method, in crack detection during straightening of hardened steel shafts we are now market leader. Also our material testing method using Barkhausen noise works non-destructively.

The analysis software runs on the basis of small programs (operators) which are combined to form analysis chains. With our software, a complex flow of production data can be transformed into clear calculations. Our way of data flow analysis also offers the possibility to simultaneously examine and combine data from several sensors. Our universal and flexible analysis software acts like a chameleon and can be quickly and easily adapted to your production. Integration of our measurement technology into your production processes is therefore accelerated by a factor of 50!​

Smart Graphical User Interface - Digitized Production​


Simple access to measurement data and evaluation is a matter of course for us. Therefore, you can adjust the information displayed on the graphical user interface with only a few clicks. You have a wide range of options: You can, for example, combine measurement diagrams with live images from your production, or insert component models into the database and display them. Measurement data from one, two or more sensors can also be visualized simultaneously.
