Automatic Inspection
When the shape and the dimension of the product allows it, the sorting is carried out with automatic visual inspection machines, capable of identifying dimensional and surface defects, in order to ensure a zero-defect quality level.
Manual Sorting
If shape
and dimension of the product do not allow the automatic sorting, our
experienced personnel carries out the manual sorting of the parts with lamps
with magnifying glasses and screens showing images of the defects.
Post-Curning
The
post-curing treatment is an important phase of the process that allows the
removal of volatiles and the stabilization of some properties of the parts,
such as hardness and compression set. Depending on the geometry and the shape
of the product, the post-curing is carried out in rotating drums or on static
grids, in order to ensure a proper heating treatment.
Quality Inspection
Careful
quality tests are carried out throughout the entire process: dimensional
measurements, density, hardness (SHORE and IRHD), compression set, etc.
Logistics
The packaging of the finished parts is customized according to the requests of our customers: quantity, packaging condition, labeling, etc.
