Why is 100% control essential?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

100% control of certain turned parts, such as self-tapping inserts, is crucial to meeting the needs of our automotive customers. This process guarantees reliability and quality, key factors for automakers. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Bar turning and quality<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

The importance of ISO 9001 certification<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>

ISO 9001 certification directly influences our approach to quality control. It compels us to continuous improvement, ensuring that every part we produce meets the most stringent requirements. This level of rigor is particularly important in the automotive sector, where safety and performance are paramount.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our control process in detail<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

We use a system for conveying parts to be inspected in front of a vision camera. This camera is equipped with a special red light to avoid interference with other light spectra.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Controls performed<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Three separate checks can therefore be carried out on all bar-turned parts produced:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Thread inspection<\/h4>

Through a narrow, rectangular green window, we check the presence of the thread over the entire height of the self-tapping insert, by measuring several threads at the end of tapping. The tap entry is opposite this control. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Chamfer control<\/h4>

The presence of the chamfer is verified by the reflection of light in a green trapezoidal window.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Non-obstruction check<\/h4>

A central square window ensures that no foreign matter (debris, swarf, etc.) obstructs the tapped hole.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
