Here are three checks that should be carried out during the manufacturing process:
| 1. Welding Checks | Purpose: To ensure the weld is sound and free from defects that could compromise the structural integrity of the bracket. Method: Visual inspection by a qualified welder, using techniques like dye penetrant testing or ultrasonic testing to detect hidden flaws. |
| 2. Dimensional Checks (After Welding & Assembly): Purpose: To verify that the bracket's dimensions meet the specified tolerances. Method: Using precision measuring instruments like calipers, micrometers, and gauges to measure critical dimensions and compare them to the design drawings. | |
| 3. Bolt Tightness Checks: Purpose: To ensure that the bolted joints are adequately tightened to provide sufficient clamping force. Method: Using a torque wrench to tighten bolts to the specified torque value. This is followed by visual inspection to confirm proper bolt engagement and no signs of stripping. |
