Our Validation services provide the necessary measurement / metrology capabilities to assess your products and processes against their specifications. 

The success of any project to design a component, build associated capacity and utilise the resulting product is only as good as the ability to verify the results.  It is tempting to subordinate the measurement system and validation to the Design and Build cycles, after all the investment is deployed to manufacture and supply a component.  But a technically demanding application may only be considered 'technically demanding' if the capability exists to accurately assess it to the narrowest of tolerances with minimal measurement error. Measurement systems require understanding, correct interpretation of the specification and the intent of the Product Designer; selection of the appropriate measurement equipment; expertly operated equipment; design and development of fixtures to accurately and repeatably present the component to the equipment or Technician; interpretation of the results confident in the knowledge that the feedback to Customer or an iterative tool adjustment cycle is accurate and can be relied upon.

That is why MouldPoint only work with Engineers and organisations with a pedigree in the field of measurement systems. It is also why we start to consider measurement systems at Feasibility Evaluation in the very early stages of any project reflecting its relative importance.

Component Verification

Measurement / Metrology / Analysis

Component complexity drives measurement complexity and necessitates an array of capabilities to fully define a product against its specifications.  MouldPoint can support your requirements as one off services or within a wider development project with access to:

EXTERNAL ANALYSIS

• Coordinate Measuring Machines
• Visual Measurement Systems
• 3D Surface Scanning

INTERNAL ANALYSIS

• CAT Scanning
• MRI Scanning
• X-Ray Scanning

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

• Force & Impact Testing
• Calcination
• Chromatography
• Scanning Electron Microscope
• FTIR Spectroscopy
• MFR Testing
• Single & Double Flank Rolling Gear Testing

Advanced Product Quality Planning

Part & Process APQP / IQ / OQ / PQ

Equally important as final product validation is overall quality strategy within the project. MouldPoint bridge the Quality and Management functions using advanced quality planning to drive the project. Different industrial sectors employ their own quality planning systems such as APQP, IQ, OQ, PQ and others. MouldPoint can work within any of these systems or adapt as required.  Irrespective of specific project requirements similar expectations are required including:

• Tooling & Process FMEA
• Control Planning
• FAI
• SPC
• MSA
