At the end of the surface treatment, our laboratory performs random quality checks on parts selected through precise statistics criteria.
These controls are implemented to verify that the produced parts entirely fulfil the Customer's specifications.
Beyond quality
The quality lab, in close cooperation with the manufacturing department, also implements the research and development of special treatments both for Varnish internal projects, and on specific requests by our Customers.
There are more than a hundred quality controls performed daily:
- Primer, base coat and clear coat thickness measurements (3 different controls)
- Visual and instrumental inspection of the colour and evaluation of colour deviations in different light frequency ranges
- Adhesion tests performed in every painted batch.
- Surface hardness measurement
- Gloss measurement
All the production and the measurement data are collected by the management system for traceability.
