Quality management

Our quality management consists of several components:

Organisation

Quality management system acc. ISO 9001
Procedure and Work instructions acc. Quality manual
Standards material specification for materials procurement
Terms of supply for heat treatment
Internal Quality Cards Q for each forging work order with accompanying spot check inspections of warm forged parts
Marking of each single forged parts from forging team
Warning system up to top management if forging mistakes are recognized by quality department
Marking of each single forged parts from inspector of magnetic particle testing
Quality rating system for each forging lot with photo documentation and monthly reporting
Regularly monthly quality meeting of all involved functions
Analysis scrap rate by top management
Weekly check of conformance to confirmed delivery dates
Monthly reporting of adherence to production deadlines

Incoming materials acceptance test (US-Test)
Test for mixed-up materials (Spectral analysis)
Cutting of raw material is exclusively done by sawing not by shearing as there is a risk of micro cracks in sheared material
Electronically controlled gas ovens – constant recordable temperature control
Electronically controlled thickness of forging on Lasco HOU-1600 – with measured thickness tolerance of +/- 0,1 mm
Special designs of magnetic particle test machines allow the complete magnetization of forged parts
If required load tests on hoisting gear or other parts can we done (external)

Traceable material batch warehousing
EDP supported traceability of all forging and machining orders with our modern ERP/PPS-System
EDP supporting links of technical drawings and terms of supply to the work order – no mixed-up versions of drawings
