Quality inspection and testing are fundamental to collecting, analyzing, and verifying critical quality data—forming the first line of defense in ensuring product excellence. At Vich, we’ve built a professional quality control team and established fully equipped, standardized testing labs to guarantee reliable quality checks. Our comprehensive testing facility consists of four specialized labs: the Precision Testing Lab, Performance Testing Lab, Electrical Testing Lab, and Corrosion Testing Lab.
Today, join me as we explore the rigorous tests Vich products undergo before reaching our customers. Let’s dive in!
First Stop: The Precision Testing Lab
As the name suggests, the Precision Testing Lab focuses on highly accurate measurements of various product characteristics, including raw materials.
Upon entering, you’ll see a wide array of precisely arranged instruments such as thickness gauges, colorimeters, gloss meters, Tesla meters, optical imaging systems, and universal testing machines. Each device plays a unique and indispensable role in quality assurance:
- Coating Thickness Gaugesensure the coating thickness meets the required standards.
- Colorimetersaccurately measure and quantify colors, regardless of the material’s surface shape.
- Tri-angle Gloss Metersevaluate surface gloss levels at 20°, 60°, and 85°, ensuring materials meet aesthetic and functional requirements.
- Cross Hatch Testerscheck adhesion strength between coatings and substrates.
- Roughness Testersassess surface irregularities by measuring waviness and texture.
- Tesla Metersevaluate magnetic properties of materials.
- Optical Imaging Systemsuse non-contact methods to measure intricate part dimensions and surface profiles with precision.
- Electronic Universal Testing Machinessimulate tensile, compressive, bending, and shear tests to ensure structural integrity.
Second Stop: The Performance Testing Lab
The Performance Testing Lab features dedicated zones for load testing, vibration testing, and extreme temperature testing. Here, Vich simulates real-world conditions to validate the performance of cable trays in diverse and extreme scenarios:
- Load Testing Zone:Evaluates the load-bearing capacity and structural stability by applying varying levels of distributed load.
- Vibration Testing Zone:Simulates vibrations during transportation, installation, and usage, ensuring long-term durability.
- High-Low Temperature Testing Zone:Tests product adaptability and resilience under extreme climates, from freezing cold to scorching heat.
These tests comprehensively assess the product’s compliance with strength, safety, and environmental standards.
Third Stop: The Electrical Testing Lab
Ensuring the electrical reliability of cable trays is critical. The Electrical Testing Lab focuses on testing electrical continuity, verifying that the conductive components of Vich’s grid trays provide reliable conductivity with minimal resistance.
Equipped with various advanced electrical testing instruments, this lab ensures products meet stringent standards for safety and stability, reinforcing their dependable performance in real-world electrical systems.
Fourth Stop: The Corrosion Testing Lab
Corrosion resistance is vital, especially for products used in challenging environments. The Corrosion Testing Lab houses salt spray testing chambers, which simulate highly corrosive environments, such as marine climates or industrial salt-laden atmospheres.
Materials or products are exposed to chloride-based solutions in a controlled environment to accelerate corrosion processes. This provides critical insights into their durability and helps guide material selection, process improvements, and compliance with industry standards.
A Commitment to Excellence
At Vich, each rigorous test is not just a quality control step—it’s a promise to our customers. Every product leaving our factory is built to withstand complex and changing real-world conditions, ensuring efficiency, durability, and reliability. These meticulous processes exemplify our relentless pursuit of safety, quality, and responsibility.
