Product Warranty Policy [Abstract]  
Standard Product Warranty, Policy [Policy Text Block]
The Company provides product warranties with varying terms and durations for the majority of its products. The Company calculates its warranty reserve by considering historical warranty experience and specifically identified warranty issues. The Company records warranty expense in cost of sales. Product warranty claims not expected to occur within one year are recorded in the long-term portion of the warranty reserve in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Actual experience could differ from the amounts estimated requiring adjustments to the liability in future periods.
