Manufacturing Quality Assurance

SOLUTIONS

Quality Assurance

Quality is a cornerstone of our manufacturing culture. It is at the forefront of all activities we perform because lives depend on us. We develop repeatable outcomes and create measurable performance benchmarks that are based on consistent quality standards. At Velosity we do not start a project without conducting advanced quality planning, establishing customer approved qualification processes, creating process control plans (Cpk/Ppk studies) and planning for ongoing production evaluation.

Our cross functional team performs a detailed analysis for each component or assembly to look for potential failure modes before we begin a project. This approach allows us to solve problems up-front rather than during the manufacturing process where it can cost you time and money.

Velosity offers multiple state-of-the-art coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) run by experienced technicians and all of our CMMs operate with the most current software. Velosity also uses programmable video measurement systems such as OGP, Microvu and Keyence.  We utilize QC-Calc software for data comparison.
