Material Identification, Quality Inspection and Testing
Making products with consistent high-quality requires good process control techniques combined with advanced equipment. At CNCTECK, we have advanced inspection measuring and testing equipment in-house to qualify all incoming raw materials, while our modern metrology lab ensures that your parts meet your exact specifications. Further, we make sure every project follows these steps for quality assurance:
- Design for manufacturing review for all quotes provided
- Contract review upon receipt of PO
- Incoming materials inspection
- First article and in-process inspection
- Final inspection and testing with reports and certifications as required
PolyMax Gun
There are many thousands of available plastic resins to choose from when making
plastic injection molded parts. In order to ensure that the resin we use is of exactly the
right kind, we’ve invested in a PolyMax analyzing gun. This device uses a beam of laser
light to bounce off the surface of a test sample and read the unique signature given off
by its molecular vibration. It contains a database of hundreds of plastic types in memory,
and can be programmed with additional plastic types whenever the need arises. Just one
more way we’re staying ahead of the competition to give you exactly the right material
every time. And check out our blog to read more about how the PolyMax gun works.
XRF Analyzer
X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis is a non-destructive testing (NDT) process by which
materials such as metals, clothes, plastics, ceramics, etc. are exposed to low level,
short-wave X-rays or gamma radiation. Each element reflects the emission with a
different wavelength and a specially calibrated spectrometer can analyze the
wavelengths to detect what elements are present and in what relative concentrations.
The XRF analyzer can also detect banned materials under the REACH and RoHS legislation.
SmartScope ZIP Lite 300
The SmartScope ZIP Lite 300 is a non-contact optical measuring system using a high
intensity white LED light for fast and accurate 2D measurements of parts. High-precision
mechanical bearings and DC stepper motors, mounted to a solid granite base, ensure
reliable and repeatable precision. Coupled with sophisticated but easy-to-use Measure
Mind software, the SmartScope can be quickly programmed to run automated
measurements of multiple similar shapes.
Coordinate Measuring Machine
At its most basic a coordinate is a point, a fixed singular location in three-dimensional
space. A series of points can be used to define the parameters of a complex shape.
Therefore a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is any device that is able to collect
this set of points for a given object and to do so with an acceptable degree of accuracy
and repeatability.
Visual Quality Standards
At CNCTECK, We have implemented a Visual Quality Standard for our finishing services to inspect painted finished and ensure the consistency of cosmetic appearance. We also have a Visual Quality Standard for our plastic injection molding services. This ensures we have a consistent method for inspecting parts and helps us go beyond the expectations of our customers.
