Measurement provides documented evidence during project and production validation.
Quality / Testing & Measurement
Testing & Measurement
Measurement and verification supporting validation, process control and serial production.
Start an RFQ
Quality control & testing
Verification connected to production.
RIVIMETAL’s in-house quality control and testing capability supports documented validation, production activity and ongoing quality control.
Inspection and control remain connected with the defined manufacturing process.
Defined process and measurement controls support serial-production stability.
First article & validation
Measured before serial production.
First-article inspection and documented validation support the transition from the prepared production process to PPAP and production approval.
APQP & PPAPFirst Article Inspection is conducted at tool release using dimensional reporting.
Measurement results support review of the initial production route.
Documented validation supports production approval before serial manufacture.
Process control
Control depends on reliable measurement.
SPC and MSA connect production data with process stability and measurement confidence according to project requirements.
SPC
Applied according to project requirements to monitor defined production parameters and support process stability.
MSA
Supports confirmation of the capability and repeatability of measurement equipment and operators.
Production contextMeasurement connected to the manufacturing process.
Surface / finish verification
Controls matched to the required finish.
Where applicable and according to project requirements, surface and coating verification connects finishing activity with defined quality control.
Surface FinishingSurface roughness
Surface roughness testers support functional and visual finish control.
Plating thickness
Plating thickness may be verified where applicable to the project and finishing route.
Adhesion validation
Adhesion validation may form part of the defined surface-control requirements.
