Precision Machining and Quality Control
In the automotive industry, CNC machining is used to manufacture critical components such as engine parts, transmission elements, and suspension components. Witcool implements strict quality control measures at all stages, ensuring each part meets the most demanding tolerance requirements. We have adopted a Total Quality Management (TQM) system, where every production stage is monitored in real-time to minimize defects and errors. To ensure precision throughout production, we utilize Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) and optical measurement systems.
quality control processes:
Raw Material Inspection:
Before production begins, all materials undergo stringent inspections to ensure compliance with design standards and industry norms.
In-Process Inspection:
At each critical stage of production, control checkpoints are implemented to prevent the accumulation of errors and ensure specification compliance.
Final Inspection and Verification:
Upon completion of production, thorough inspections of dimensions, surface quality, and tolerances are conducted to guarantee full compliance with technical requirements.
- These processes ensure maximum quality at every stage, guaranteeing the reliability of the final product.
