What sets us apart

In quality assurance, we rely on clear principles - consistent testing processes, transparent standards and the common goal of zero defects. To achieve this, we work with high-precision measurement technology, digital tools and a team that is passionate about quality.

  • Error prevention instead of error detection as a guiding principle
  • More process reliability through digital monitoring
  • Safeguarding production processes with measurement technology

 

Quality begins before the first component

In advance quality planning, we lay the foundations for stable processes and flawless products - long before series production starts. Together with engineering, production and suppliers, we define quality-relevant features, identify potential risks and develop preventative measures.

By integrating various methods such as FMEA and Control Plan at an early stage in the sampling process, we create transparency and ensure that every component is convincing at the start of series production - technically, economically and in the interests of our customers.

In this way, quality can be planned and is not left to chance.

Safety at every stage of production

Our quality assurance accompanies the entire manufacturing process: from the receipt of goods to the end-of-line inspection of the end products. We test mechanically, visually and digitally – systematically and with repeat accuracy.

Incoming goods inspection

Incoming goods inspection

Before the first part is produced, we inspect the raw material for grade, thickness, and surface quality. Only materials that meet our standards are approved – ensuring consistently high quality from the very beginning.

Precision is a key success factor in assembly. Through continuous monitoring of dimensional accuracy and long-term statistical evaluations, we identify deviation trends at an early stage. This ensures that defined tolerances are reliably maintained even with high production volumes.

Dimensional Accuracy

Dimensional Accuracy

After joining, precision down to the millimeter is essential: Using gauges and optical measuring systems, we record geometries, dimensions, and positional relationships. The results are systematically documented – ensuring maximum fitting accuracy in the subsequent vehicle assembly.

Strength Testing

Strength Testing

Whether spot welding or bonding – every joint is thoroughly tested. Visual inspections and destructive testing methods, as well as random sample checks ensure that each joining point is permanently durable. This guarantees strength, safety, and longevity.

Operational quality control

Operational quality control

Quality monitoring is carried out through continuous testing by our qualified quality team. This team conducts systematic initial, intermediate, and final inspections, ensuring that all customer-specific requirements are fully met at all times.
