At Red Oak Fabrication, every department has ownership of quality. Our goal is to identify potential problems before they move to the next manufacturing operation, reducing rework, preventing defects from reaching the customer and delivering a consistent finished product.
By controlling quality at every stage of manufacturing, Red Oak Fabrication provides customers with a reliable, repeatable and complete manufacturing solution. From engineering and raw material to finished, powder-coated product.
Before releasing a job to the floor, Red Oak Fabrication reviews available engineering documents, CAD files, drawings and customer specifications.
Before material enters production, the material should be verified against the job requirements.
Material should be identified and traceable to the appropriate job whenever required by the customer or project.
Before cutting production quantities, the operator verifies the correct program, material and job information.
Operators inspect the first acceptable part before proceeding with the production run.
CNC bending and dimensional inspection. The first completed formed part should be checked against the drawing before proceeding with the production quantity.
Welding, assembly, dimensional and workmanship inspection.
Fabricated assemblies are inspected for:
Ensuring the fabricated product is properly prepared for powder coating.
Parts are prepared using the appropriate surface preparation process.
For products requiring abrasive blasting, the part is blasted to remove contaminants and provide the appropriate surface condition for coating.
Controlled application, curing and finish inspection.
The powder coating process is controlled to provide consistent coverage and proper adhesion. Attention is given to:
Parts are cured according to the requirements of the powder coating material and the established process parameters.
When required, cure parameters are monitored and documented.
Verify that the completed product meets the customer’s requirements before shipment.
The final inspector or production employee responsible confirms that the product is complete and acceptable for shipment.
