Gripple
Test Procedures
We want you to have as much confidence in our products as we do, and to see they’re as reliable and safe as we know they are. Maintaining a prominent standard of quality control is vital to us at Gripple, which is why we have meticulous testing procedures in place throughout every step of the manufacturing process.
In order to regulate quality, we perform exhaustive tests on individual components coming in, the product assembly itself, and the finished goods going out. Before entering the production process, every constituent part of our products are subjected to a variety of rigorous examinations, including diamond-tipped hardness tests; submersion testing for porosity; and dimension checks; as well as visual confirmation provided by shadow-graphs and microscopes.
By using state-of-the-art technology, only flawless products ever make it off our production line. Our fully-automated machinery is mounted with camera recognition units and robotic arms for precision fitting, as well as countless other sensory and probe checks. Additionally, our cutting-edge machines have inbuilt pull-tests, providing 100% non-destructive testing at twice the safe working load (SWL) - every single product is subjected to this.
All our machinists work to the Standard Operating Procedures we have in place; in other words, they’re trained how to build the perfect Gripple. Throughout production, they also use specialised equipment to carry out destruction pull-tests on completed products. In order to make the grade, each Gripple must be able to handle five times its SWL, giving it an unprecedented safety factor of 5:1.
