TESTING AND QUALITY CONTROL
After resurfacing on our Blanchard, the valve plates’ thickness is measured on a true stone using a dial indicator and micrometer. It then goes to our valve plate assembly table.
All pre-qualified internal parts are matched to each compressor casting, and crankshafts are thoroughly checked, going through all tolerances and are laid out with new parts on trays for assembly. The final step for QC is to scrutinize specifications, stamping the parts with the QC approval code. Once completed, the compressor is forwarded to Assembly.
Throughout our process in all areas of production, our employees punch in at their department station. The tracer number and employee number is saved in the system. This assures complete tracking of the processes through each department and makes certain that no steps are missed. Detailed reports, including the tracer number, are printed and kept with completed tracer sheets and filed with each compressor.
