Dimensional accuracy detection: measure the size of raw materials to ensure that they meet the design requirements. It can be measured with tools such as micrometers, altimeters, and optical imagers.
Chemical Composition Testing: Analyze the chemical composition of raw materials to determine whether their purity and composition meet the requirements of product design and manufacturing. It can be detected by chemical analysis, spectral analysis and other methods.
Testing of mechanical properties of materials: Test the mechanical properties of raw materials such as tension, compression, and torsion to evaluate whether their physical properties such as strength, toughness, and hardness meet the requirements. It can be tested with the universal testing machine and other equipment.
Environmental adaptability testing: test the stability of raw materials under different environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and corrosion resistance to evaluate their ability to adapt to different working environments.
To sum up, raw material testing needs to be combined with product design and production requirements, and a variety of testing methods and tools are used for testing to ensure that the quality of raw materials meets the requirements of product manufacturing.
CNC Turning
When CNC machining parts, the structure of the parts is different, and the processing procedures are also different. Here I take a product as an example. This part needs to be CNC turned first and then CNC machined. According to the drawings, the size and appearance that meet the customer's requirements are processed. Check and check every 2 hours with calipers and height gauges during CNC turning. If the CNC machine tool breaks or the pillar wears during the machining process, or when the CNC machine tool is replaced for the next process, it is necessary to re-check the parts. If the parts have roundness requirements, they need to be tested with calipers, height gauges, three-coordinates, and roundness meters to ensure that the CNC machining quality can be carried out to the next process and delivered on time.

CNC Machining
The CNC machining process is similar to the CNC turning process. During the CNC machining process, the inspection is performed every 2 hours. Due to the different processing procedures, the inspection place is also different. If there are processed threads, you need to use height gauges, three-coordinates, and tooth gauges for inspection. If the CNC machine tool is in the process of processing, the tool is broken or the props are worn, or when the CNC machine tool is replaced for the next process, the parts need to be inspected again.
