SCADA Laser Marking (Traceability Operation)
Each valve block is laser-marked with a unique identification code linked to the SCADA system. The marking enables traceability of the part throughout the manufacturing and quality process. This digital integration supports Industry 4.0 by ensuring real-time data tracking, process monitoring, and product history management.
Machining (VMC & HMC Operations)
The valve block undergoes precision machining in Vertical and Horizontal Machining Centers (VMC & HMC). These CNC-controlled machines create accurate internal passages, valve ports, and mounting holes as per design specifications. High precision and surface finish are maintained to ensure proper hydraulic performance and fitment in the ABS & ESC systems.
High Pressure Deburring & Washing Operation
The valve block undergoes high-pressure deburring along with washing to remove burrs, chips, and contaminants from internal passages. This ensures unrestricted brake fluid flow and prevents valve malfunction, & to achieve required cleanliness levels as per automotive standards.
Vacuum Drying Operation
The washed valve blocks are placed in a vacuum drying chamber to remove residual moisture from internal and external surfaces. The vacuum environment ensures complete drying, even inside fine hydraulic passages. This step prevents corrosion, contamination, and ensures the part is ready for subsequent testing processes.
Customer Laser Marking Operation
Valve block receives another unique laser marking containing supplier code, part number, revision number, Julian day and year, and part serial number. This marking ensures complete traceability for the customer and facilitates identification throughout the product lifecycle. It also supports quality control, inventory management, and compliance with automotive traceability standards.
Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI)
Valve block is inspected using an industrial robot equipped with multiple cameras and a borescope. Critical fit and functional dimensions are verified automatically to ensure compliance with design specifications. This operation guarantees high accuracy, repeatability, and early detection of defects, ensuring reliable performance in ABS & ESC systems.
Visual Inspection
Skilled inspectors examine each valve block in a controlled environment using specialized industrial magnifying lenses and optimized light sources. This ensures that surface finish, burr removal, and overall quality meet strict standards. Human inspection complements automated checks, detecting subtle defects that may affect fit, function, or appearance.
