www.churchillproducts.co.uk Churchill - Laser Quality Inspection
Millions of fasteners are installed into numerous applications, many of which are automatically inserted into the component. The need to achieve consistent performance becomes paramount if automated process control is to be effective, thus avoiding machine stoppages due to rouge defect items entering the fastened component supply chain. Driven by 100% defect free requirements the need for accurate component compliance is very much to the fore when reaching the necessary criteria of Zero Defect and the conformity of Parts Per Million (PPM), as well as total traceability.
