Our laboratory is equipped with following Machines….only to name a few

1) TORQUE TESTING MACHINE (COMPUTERISED) -           - For torque load capacity of spanners
2) MAGNETIC CRACK DECTECTOR       -                -           - For detecting very fine flaws & cracks
3) SALT SPRAY MACHINE         -           -                -           - Testing the Quality of Chrome plating
4) DIGITAL HARDNESS TESTER     -           -           -           - For ensuring specified surface hardness
5) ABRASIVE CUTER FOR MAKING TEST PIECE    -             - Machines for making test pieces
6) PLATING THICKNESS TESTER   -           -           -           - Chrome plating thickness
7) CHEMICAL LABORATORY          -           -           -           - Chemical composition of Products

The Quality/inspection program is designed to check and recheck the production quality at each strategic stage of the production process i.e. quality program functions from the Raw material to Finished products

The Quality Testing program is listed as below …..also refer the Flow chart diagram.

RAW MATERIAL
	Incoming raw material is Lab tested at entry level to the plant

BLANKING
	The Quality of Blanks are checked for primary conformity

FORGING
	The forging Die is Inspected for good forging out put

TRIMMING
	Good finished products are selected after Trimming stage

PUNCHING
	Inspection at punching stage rejects poorly finished goods

BROACHING
	After broaching all spanners are checked for Jaw accuracy

HEAT TREATMENT
	Heat treated product’s are is inspected for proper internal structural formation and Hardness of the Product

GAUGING
	All Products are checked with gauges for operational fitment

SHOT BALLAST
	Inspection at Shot Ballasting checks for finishing out put

ELECTRO PLATING
	Final inspection is carried after electroplating stage. This is the final and detailed inspection carried out manually.
