Raw Material Testing

 

 

The following requirements are raw material testing methods for one product as an example. Different products have different raw material testing requirements:

 

1. Receive raw materials. Sampling inspection is carried out after receiving the raw materials, and visually check whether there is any problem with the appearance, quantity, and specifications of the materials. There is no damage to the surface and the packaging is in good condition. Quantities and specifications are in accordance with the delivery note of the purchase order. Reject if there is any problem.


2. Incoming inspection. Sampling inspection Visually inspect the appearance of the material, the performance of the material composition, and the size of the material. Then oxidize the sample to meet the customer's appearance requirements after oxidation. Use a caliper to check whether the size of the incoming material meets the requirements of the drawing. Issue incoming inspection report.


3. Raw material storage. Visually inspect the appearance and packaging of raw materials before storage, and check whether there is any problem with the material identification. If there is no problem, it can be put into storage.

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.

Inspection Process and Standards

 

 

Patrol inspection During the production process, IPQC conducts patrol inspections on key links to find problems in time and take corresponding measures to ensure product quality and production efficiency.

 

 

The process and standards of inspection IPQC can be summarized as the following steps:

 

 

Formulate the inspection plan: determine the time, place and content of the inspection, and prepare the inspection schedule.

 

Preparation before inspection: Check whether the inspection tools and instruments are normal, and prepare record forms and related materials.

 

Inspection operation: carry out inspections one by one according to the inspection plan and record the inspection results.

 

Problems found: If unqualified problems are found, they should be marked in time and the relevant responsible person should be notified to deal with them.

 

Dealing with problems: According to different problems, take corresponding measures, including shutdown rectification, rework, equipment adjustment, etc.

 

 

Record and summary: record the inspection results on the inspection form, and summarize and count according to the requirements to provide data support for subsequent analysis.

 

 

 

 

Inspection IPQC standards mainly include the following aspects:

 

 

Inspection frequency: Determine the inspection frequency and inspection time according to product characteristics, process requirements, production cycle and other factors.

 

Inspection content: inspect the key links and important parameters, and record the corresponding data or status.

 

Inspection standards: According to product quality requirements and process specifications, determine the qualification standards and judgment standards for inspection items.

 

Inspection records: record the results of inspections, including the number of qualified products, the number of unqualified products, types of problems, and handling measures.

 

 

 

To sum up, inspection IPQC needs to formulate a reasonable inspection plan, operate according to relevant standards, find and deal with problems in a timely manner, and record and summarize them to ensure product quality and production efficiency, and to avoid problems in a timely manner. Solve, save cost and time.

 

 

 

Through the above inspection IPQC process and standards, it can be ensured that there are problems in the CNC machining process, which lead to product scrapping, and can also avoid problems in time, solve them in time, and save costs and time.

External Detection

 

 

Some CNC machining parts have high requirements on appearance. We will conduct an appearance inspection to detect whether there are problems such as yin and yang, color difference, burrs, bumps, and other problems after appearance oxidation, and record and analyze them. If it is a structural part, the detection is different.

     

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             External Detection

 

 

 

 

 

 

Custom Logo

 

 

If the customer requires a customized logo on the surface, the logo is processed and manufactured at the end. There are many ways to process the logo, and the effects are also different, including laser engraving, printing, etching, etc. During laser engraving, we will also conduct patrol inspections and record analysis to prevent surface problems during laser engraving and affect delivery.

     

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Custom Logo                                                                                                                                                            

 

 

 

 

Full Inspection

 

 

If the customer has high requirements on the appearance and size of the parts, we will choose to use testing equipment such as height gauges, three-coordinates, tooth gauges, roundness meters, calipers, etc. to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the roundness, size, and thread of the parts. The inspection results of each part are recorded and classified for scrap or rework. Everything is based on customer drawings and size requirements.

     

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Full Inspection                                                                                                                                                                            

 

 

 

 

The full inspection standard of CNC machining parts can be formulated according to the different requirements of the processed products, and generally should include the following aspects:

 

 

 

Dimensional accuracy: measure the various dimensional parameters of the CNC machining parts to judge whether they meet the design requirements. When measuring, it is necessary to choose the appropriate size measuring equipment, such as a micrometer, altimeter, etc.

 

 

Surface quality: Check the CNC machining surface to judge whether it is flat, smooth, free of burrs and bubbles and other defects. Appropriate surface inspection equipment, such as microscopes, imagers, etc., should be used during inspection.

 

 

Material composition: chemically analyze the materials used in CNC machining parts to determine whether their composition meets the requirements. Appropriate material analysis equipment, such as spectrum analyzers, electron microscopes, etc., are required for analysis.

 

 

Physical properties: test the physical properties of CNC machined parts, such as strength, hardness, toughness and other indicators. When testing, it is necessary to select the appropriate physical performance testing equipment, such as a universal testing machine, hardness tester, etc.

 

 

Accuracy stability: Carry out dimensional deformation test on CNC machining parts to judge its accuracy stability. Appropriate deformation testing equipment, such as a three-coordinate measuring machine, is required for testing.

 

 

 

 

To sum up, the full inspection standard of CNC machining parts needs to comprehensively consider multiple factors, including dimensional accuracy, surface quality, material composition, physical properties, precision stability and other indicators. At the same time, it is necessary to select appropriate testing equipment, and methods, and formulate reasonable testing procedures and standards to ensure that the quality and accuracy of CNC machining parts meet the design requirements.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Package

 

 

The packaging method of CNC machined parts can be determined according to the specific situation, but materials such as foam plastic, foam cardboard, bubble film, and cartons are usually used for packaging protection. When selecting packaging materials, factors such as the shape, size, weight, and material of the parts should be considered, and appropriate packaging methods and materials should be selected to ensure that the parts are not damaged during transportation. At the same time, moisture-proof, shock-proof, anti-static and other issues should be paid attention to during the packaging process to ensure the quality and stability of the parts.
