READ MOREIn the manufacturing process of Dodge passenger car shock absorbers, how to ensure the dimensional accuracy, surface finish and internal structure integrity of the shock absorbers?
1. Advanced equipment and high-precision processing
Application of high-precision machining center: GEREP has introduced advanced CNC machine tools and high-precision machining centers from Germany. These equipment, with their excellent machining capabilities and extremely high precision control capabilities, provide a solid foundation for the precision manufacturing of shock absorbers. In the processing of key components such as shock absorber cylinders and piston rods, automated processing is achieved through CNC programming to ensure that the dimensional accuracy of each component is controlled within the micron range, effectively reducing human errors and improving the overall quality and consistency of the product.
Contribution of the mold development center: The company has a professional mold development center that designs and manufactures high-precision molds for the special needs of different parts of the shock absorber. The mold is made of high-quality alloy materials, and is precision machined and heat treated to ensure the durability and dimensional stability of the mold, so that the design dimensions can be accurately replicated during the injection molding or die-casting process to ensure the dimensional accuracy and shape consistency of components such as the shock absorber housing.
2. Surface treatment technology
Improvement of surface finish: To ensure that the surface finish of the shock absorber meets the requirements, GEREP uses a variety of advanced surface treatment technologies. For example, through electroplating, sandblasting, polishing and other processes, processing marks can be effectively removed, surface smoothness can be increased, and corrosion resistance and aesthetics can be improved. In particular, for the shock absorber piston rod, hard anodizing treatment is used, which not only improves wear resistance, but also ensures that the surface maintains good finish and hardness under extreme conditions of use.
Cleaning and rust prevention: After processing, all parts must undergo a strict cleaning process to remove impurities such as oil and metal debris, and then immediately undergo rust prevention treatment, such as coating with rust-proof oil or using vapor phase rust-proof packaging, to ensure that they are not affected by corrosion during storage and transportation and maintain the original surface finish.
3. Internal structural integrity and performance verification
Internal structural design optimization: GEREP's R&D team uses advanced CAD/CAM software to design and optimize the internal structure of the shock absorber. By simulating and analyzing the stress distribution and fluid dynamics characteristics of the shock absorber under different working conditions, it ensures that the design is reasonable, the internal structure is strong, and the fluid channel is unobstructed. In particular, according to the characteristics of Dodge passenger cars, the shock absorber valves and flow channels are customized to achieve optimal damping control and ride comfort.
The role of the high-precision testing center: The company has a comprehensive testing center equipped with high-end testing equipment such as dynamic fatigue testing machines, pressure pulse testing machines, and leakage testing machines. After the shock absorber is assembled, each shock absorber will undergo rigorous performance tests, including durability tests, pressure tests, vibration tests, etc., to verify the integrity of its internal structure and its performance in actual use. Through these tests, potential structural defects or performance deficiencies can be discovered and resolved in a timely manner to ensure that the products finally delivered to customers are zero-defect.
4. Quality management system and continuous improvement
Strict quality control process: GEREP follows the ISO/TS 16949 quality management system standard and has established a full-chain quality control process from raw material procurement, production and processing, assembly testing to finished product delivery. The QA inspector team strictly inspects each process to ensure that each link meets the quality standards. In particular, for the key dimensions, surface quality and internal performance of the shock absorber, 100% full inspection is implemented to ensure that there are no omissions.
Continuous improvement and innovation: The company has a research and development team led by senior engineers, constantly exploring the application of new materials and new processes, such as using high-performance rubber materials to improve shock absorption effects, using 3D printing technology for rapid prototype verification, etc., to promote product upgrades with technological innovation, and continuously improve the comprehensive performance and market competitiveness of shock absorbers.
