For single parts and small series, all components are checked. For more than 100 pieces at least 10 % of the components are checked. As a standard, your components are cleaned after production and delivered to you free of chips, clean and dry. Steel components are preserved to prevent corrosion. In addition, you can request a measurement report, the premium quality test and a material acceptance test certificate according to DIN EN-10204.
