Standard Product Warranty Disclosure [Abstract]

Reconciliation of Warranty Reserve

The amount of the warranty reserve is determined based on historical trend experience and any known warranty issues that could cause future warranty costs to differ from historical experience. A reconciliation of the changes in our warranty reserve is as follows (in thousands):

		2015			2014			2013
Balance, beginning of year		$	2,048		$	1,778		$	1,623
Provision for warranties during the year			3,736			3,846			3,811
Charges to the accrual			(3,495)			(3,529)			(3,670)
Impact of foreign currency translation			(103)			(47)			14
Balance, end of year		$	2,186		$	2,048		$	1,778
