Quality
Reliability and overall quality are the primary objectives of FIM cast s.r.l. A dedicated office - SAQ (Quality Assurance Service) - follows all the production and documentary phases with the purpose of guaranteeing the maximum product standards and the compliance with client specifications. But the FIM cast s.r.l. quality is the fundamental characteristic of all company functions, from design to logistics and from the commercial to the administrative departments.
FIM cast s.r.l. intends “Total Quality” as:
- Product quality
- The mechanical, aesthetic and documentary characteristics of the product comply with the regulations and specifications required by the client.
- Service quality
- Castings are supplied in the quantity, packaging, transport modes and times agreed with the client. A precise and punctual service has always characterized FIM cast s.r.l.’s supplies, as testified by our vendor ratings.
- Quality of communication
- The availability and reachability of internal contact persons is maximum and a priority in everyday activities. Information are supplied promptly and with competence, both verbally and in writing.
- Quality of co-design
- FIM cast s.r.l. supports client designers in the creation of new products right from the first steps. The involvement of the foundry is essential to shorten the times and obtain more advantageous results for both. The possibility of creating and analysing your own prototypes is also an innovative tool that FIM cast s.r.l. makes available to obtain specific feedback in the shortest time possible.
- Quality of prevention
- Manual on quality, organisational procedures and operating instructions
- Quality of checks
- Checks upon accepting raw materials and components, self-checks by production operators, statistical production checks and final checks by the SAQ.
Checks
Control tools
FIM cast s.r.l. is equipped with a laboratory for the qualitative check of foundry sand. In addition, a periodic and regular collaboration has been set up with an external company to compare data. Continuous analyses of results enable the achievement of a constant quality.
The SAQ office is equipped with all control tools to analyse, qualify and certify produced castings. These include a quantometer, a traction and compression machine, an altimeter, a durometer, a metallographic microscope, a feeler gauge and a tool to verify the superficial roughness of castings. Destructive checks of castings inside the machine shop department are also possible.
In addition, an external service also performs non-destructive checks such as 3D scans and checks on casting integrity with an ultrasound device.
