Are low-volume parts held to the same tolerances and quality standards as mass-produced components?
Tolerances and Quality Standards in Low-Volume Die Casting Production
Consistent Tolerance Standards
At Neway, low-volume die casting components adhere strictly to the same precision tolerances as mass-produced parts. Typical dimensional tolerances for die-cast aluminum alloys like A380 or zinc alloys such as Zamak 3 routinely achieve tolerances of ±0.1 mm for general dimensions, and tighter tolerances of ±0.05 mm can be maintained through post-process CNC machining.
Quality Assurance Processes
Regardless of production scale, all parts undergo rigorous inspection according to ISO 9001 standards. Our quality assurance practices for low-volume production include:
Dimensional Inspection: Verified using CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines) to confirm adherence to specified dimensions.
Material Certification: Documentation of alloy composition for materials like ADC12 (A383) and Brass 360.
Surface Finish Inspection: Ensuring compliance with specified post-processing treatments such as anodizing and powder coating.
Advantages of Consistent Standards
Maintaining consistent quality standards in low-volume production provides distinct benefits:
Early detection of design or tooling issues through detailed inspections and adjustments.
Enhanced reliability and repeatability when transitioning from rapid prototyping to full-scale mass production.
Improved overall project quality and reduced risks related to dimensional inconsistencies and material defects.
