1. History:
QC Hydraulics was found 1999, with 20 years machining experience, parts are produced meeting ISO 9001 quality standards and conform to SAE, BS, ISO and DIN norms.
2. Quality Control of Raw Materials:
1) We only choose the highest quality stainless steel raw material. And metal suppliers provide material test certificates for each shipment.
2) We 100% measure the sizes of bar stock and forging blanks by callipers for each shipment.
3) We use the Portable XRF Analyser to test the key chemical elements of bar stock and forging blanks with 10% for each shipment(Key chemical elements include Cr, Ni, Mo, these chemical elements are very important for the corrosion performance).
4) Besides, we randomly pick up several of cutting pieces to do further chemical analysis by spectrograph every 10 days to make sure the raw material 100% qualified.
3. Quality Control of Production Process:
1) We are using Sigma high-precision CNC lathe machines to process stainless steel hydraulic hose fittings and adapters.
Feature: Dual-axis, Mitsubishi system
Thread cutting tools: Mitsubishi Japan, vargus & carmex Israel(Have a very stable performance during machining)
2) We use callipers to measure the basic sizes. And we use the thread gages to inspect the threads.
3) We use Contracer & Contour Measuring Machines to inspect the very small angles and diameters.
4. Inspection:
First Article Inspection During Process
1) The operator make the first article according to manufacturing drawings.
2) The operator will inspect the first article and record. If the sizes and threads meet the manufacturing drawings, and then the first article will be put in a special box (the box is for first article only).
3) Workshop foreman will take second inspection for the first article.
4) Only passing the inspection by workshop foreman, and then start with mass production.
Mass Production After First Article Inspection
1) After the first article approved by operator and workshop foreman, and then start with mass production.
2) During mass production, the operator needs to inspect the threads every 10 pieces, and measure the sizes every 15 pieces. Once any fittings of threads and dimensions out of the specs, all this batch of fittings will be inspected completely.
3) The qualified fittings will be fitly put in a plastic box piece by piece.
4) Finally, the finished fittings will be transported to inspection department for final inspection.
Final Inspection
1) Appearance: 100% inspection under strong light. No scratch, No burr.
2) Key sizes and angles: 15-20% randomly inspection by callipers and contracer. Once any sizes and angles of fittings out of specs or doesn't respect to drawings, this batch of fittings will be forced to return back to production workshop to improve or make a new replacement.
3) Threads: 15-20% randomly inspection by right gages. Once any threads out of specs or doesn't respect to drawings, this batch of fittings will be forced to return back to production workshop to improve or make a new replacement.
