Inspections are performed throughout production to maintain quality control at all times.
These inspections are performed by both the production team and the quality team; they ensure the quality of our precision balls.
Here are some of the inspections we perform:
- Hardness
- Sphericity
- Dimensional tolerances
- Roughness
