SMC's Quality department is a core component of our manufacturing process. Below we highlight some of the inspection processes utilized at SMC.
Penetrant Inspection
Penetrant Inspection
Penetrant Inspection is an NDT surface technique commonly used in the aerospace industry to locate and identify flaws or cracks on the surface of a part. NDT inspection plays a safety critical role in the production process.
Steelville Manufacturing Co. has a competitive advantage over most NDT inspection facilities as our experienced NDT inspectors have also worked in our machine shop and have a better understanding of machining, metals, and surface imperfections.
CMM
SMC utilizes two Zeiss Contura measurement machines ( Zeiss Contura G2 RDS 40" X 47" X 24" & Zeiss Contura G2 RDS 40" X 83" X 24"). Most of the jobs ran through our facility will touch these two machines, with about 98% of parts running through our Coordinate Measuring Systems as a whole.
ScanBox
ScanBox
Another component of our Coordinate Measuring Systems, is the optical 3D measuring machine also known as the Zeiss ScanBox. This is one of the newest pieces of inspection equipment that SMC has purchased to help provide the highest quality of parts.
Romer Arm
In addition to our automated Coordinate Measuring Systems, we have three Hexagon Romer Arms to allow for quick and precise measurements on a smaller, more portable footprint.
InspecVision Planar
When it comes to 2D inspections, SMC uses Inspecvision's Planar Inspection System to verify GD&T requirements on flat parts. The system is 34" X 50" and is able to measure multiple parts at once with individual datum control frames.
