Inspection and analysis

Inspection and analysis

Inspection and analysis are essential steps in the quality control and quality assurance of products and materials. These procedures are used to ensure that manufactured workpieces or semi-finished products meet the requirements in terms of shape and their mechanical properties.
Inspection involves the visual examination of products to ensure that they are externally free of defects, flaws or damage and that they conform to the geometric specification. The goal is to detect deviations from the expected shape and adjust parameters of upstream manufacturing processes.
The analysis includes detailed tests to verify the material, structural or functional properties of components. Technological instruments and methods such as videoscopy, X-ray examinations and metallogical examinations are used here. Various analysis methods make it possible to uncover problems and identify the causes of deviations from simulated results within the manufacturing chain.
