Identification management
Because Ochiai produces a wide variety of products, the production process contains products that are so similar in shape that they are difficult to distinguish with the human eye, as well as products with only the slightest difference in size or shape. As a result, color-coded identification tags are attached to each box according to each process in the factory. Measuring equipment also have set inspection and alignment cycles, and the validity period of the inspection and alignment for each piece of equipment identified through color-coded stickers. In addition, should nonconforming products occur in a production process, they are identified and isolated in a dedicated storage area to ensure that they are not mistakenly shipped.
Inspection equipment
In order to meet the strict quality requirements of our customers, we have installed not only regular measuring equipment, but also the latest inspection equipment such as automatic image measuring equipment, metallurgical microscope, 3D measurement machines, load testing equipment and fluorescent X-ray film thickness meters to enable even more detailed measurements.
We employ a comprehensive quality assurance system, including a salt spray test machine for corrosion resistance assessment, microscopes for observing metallographic structures, and scanning electron microscopes (SEM) for analyzing broken products and measuring cleanliness in accordance with ISO 16232 and VDA 19 standards, ensuring the delivery of products with impeccable quality.
