Why Ballco can ensure consistent quality
Ballco Manufacturing maintains a strict Quality program in accordance with ISO 9001-2000. We have a state of the art Quality Laboratory with multiple CMM’s, Optical Comparator, alloy analyzer. We also maintain a strict calibration program for all hand gages used in the lab and in the shop. All controlled by our Quality group. Ballco’s quality program also requires that in-process inspection be done at each operation by the machinist. This is audited and verified daily by our department engineers along with QC technicians who do random sampling. Each department has an engineer who facilitates all aspects of manufacturing including programming of the CNC machines, inspection and all in-process documentation, and quality. This commitment to quality provides you the customer, the best machined product possible.
Ballco's commitment to quality begins as soon as a PO is received and material is ordered. Once material arrives, CMTR's are reviewed by material manager to make sure material is compliant to customer specification. Heat codes are then matched to job traveler to ensure traceability throughout the manufacturing process. PMI testing is done prior to manufacturing and prior to shipment to further ensure that material is acceptable.
