Quality

At The Rodon Group, we think our quality certifications such asISO 9001:2015, our newISO 13485, HACCP and certified GMA-SAFE demonstrate our commitment to providing the best possible parts at the most competitive prices.  However, our commitment goes beyond certifications.  We have a staff of quality professionals whose sole focus is making sure we produce plastic parts that are as perfect as possible.

From our administrative staff, who handles every inquiry with professionalism to our engineers who continually look for ways to improve part design and production, our entire company has a true understanding of what it takes to be considered one of the best plastic injection molders in the United States.  It is a reputation we take pride in and are inspired to improve upon every day.

Recent Lab Addition

A QC lab addition was to recently created to allow room for a new Coordinate Measuring Machine.We have increased the lab to ~1140 sq.f.and added a Zeiss Contura CMM Bridge Coordinate Measuring Machine.This equipment takes measurements via a touch probe in the X, Y & Z direction's and is accurate to about .0003".The CMM will be used to measure mold components (IE.Cores and cavities, etc.) as well as moldedparts at very close tolerances.

There are two major components of our quality inspections.They are first-piece inspections, and in-process inspections.The "first-piece" inspections are performed in our metrology lab.The parts are then inspected in the lab.They are checked dimensionally, functionally and cosmetically.If the parts pass inspection, the manufacturing job is put in queue for full production.

After the job is in production, the second phase of the quality inspection is put in place.  This phase is called the "in-process" inspection.While the jobs are running on the production floor, parts are sampled and inspected to make sure they are in compliance with the part specifications.These inspections are coordinated using an electronic scheduling system and are displayed on a screen which visually maps out the locations on the production floor.

Quality Measurement Tools

To accurately measure quality compliance you need the right tools for the job.At The Rodon Group, the metrology lab is constantly analyzing and evaluating new equipment and measurement devices to maintain our high standards.Along with a full array of tools to test compression, tension, weights and dimensions, the lab has vision measurement systems and color inspection equipment.Of course, a full complement of traditional inspection tools such as calipers, microscopes, micrometers, dial and digital indicators are also part of the inspection process.
