The overriding principle behind every screw machine product manufactured by Richard Manno & Company, whether it’s a per print special or any of the hundreds of machined items available from stock, is to meet or exceed customer quality requirements. To achieve this, all of our products must first meet the acceptance level of our toughest critics – our own inspection team. Our ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certified quality system is the backbone of everything we do.
In viewing the various parameters, whether it’s the correct micro finish on a machined surface on a dowel pin or the consistently-precise fit of a threaded length on a precision shoulder screw, our inspectors take their important responsibilities very seriously. For instance, we check the threads not only for gage-fit, but also under high magnification to ensure the absence of burrs and other imperfections.
There are several inspections that take place for every job that we run. When the material is staged for each work order, the size and specification are verified. Upon setup, a first piece inspection is performed by the set-up person, and then verified or rejected by an Inspector. Throughout the day, a machine operator will review the finish of the parts and take dimensional measurements, and roving inspectors perform in-process checks.
If a part requires any secondary operations, each operation requires an additional inspection by quality personnel upon the setup of each process. Once parts are completed in-house they receive a final inspection before moving to stock, outside processing or shipment to a customer. If any outside processes are performed (heat treating, plating, passivation, etc.) an additional inspection is performed upon receipt.
Outside inspection processes include lab testing and PPAP analysis. Due to the wide range of possible requirements, charges for these services will vary. Please contact us for further details and requirements.
