Advanced Testing Laboratory: The Technical Heart of Great Auto Parts’ Quality Assurance
At Great Auto Parts (GAP-Autopart.com), we believe that steering and suspension components—such as ball studs, ball pins, and housing assemblies—are the most critical safety elements of any vehicle. To ensure these parts exceed international safety standards, we have established the very first dedicated testing laboratory in Taiwan specifically for steering and suspension parts. This groundbreaking facility allows us to provide a level of specialized validation that is unprecedented among automotive parts manufacturers in Taiwan.
Uncompromising Precision: Specialized Ball Stud Testing
Precision manufacturing is meaningless without rigorous verification. Our laboratory focuses on the intricate details of CNC Machined ball pins, pillow balls, and customized components to guarantee optimal performance under the most demanding conditions.
- Roundness & Surface Integrity: Utilizing high-precision Roundness Measurement Instruments and Surface Roughness Measurement Instruments, we ensure that ball studs have the perfect spherical geometry to minimize friction and prevent premature wear.
- Dimensional Accuracy: Our facility is equipped with Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), 2.5D Auto Measure Equipment, and Optical Profile Projectors to maintain tolerances within microns.
Advanced Methods for Defect Detection & Durability
We go beyond traditional inspection by integrating cutting-edge technology to uncover hidden flaws and simulate real-world stress.
Robotic Eddy Current Crack Detection
This sophisticated system is a game-changer for quality assurance. By combining Eddy Current Technology with Robotic Precision, we can identify internal material cracks and microscopic surface imperfections that are invisible to the naked eye. This ensures 100% material integrity across multiple frequencies.
Ball Stud Drop Impact Testing
To simulate hitting potholes or uneven terrain, we perform Drop Impact Testing. By dropping a precisely weighted ball from a calculated height, we analyze the component’s resilience. Our engineers meticulously evaluate deformation and structural response to ensure the part can absorb sudden shocks without compromising safety.
Pull-out & Push-out Testing
Safety in steering systems depends on the secure assembly of the ball stud within its housing. Our Pull-out Test measures the maximum force required to dislodge the stud, ensuring that the assembly remains intact even under extreme tension. This validation is crucial for preventing catastrophic failures in high-performance and heavy-duty applications.
Comprehensive In-House Laboratory Equipment
At the heart of our operations, our fully equipped laboratory verifies every step of our production process:
- Structural Analysis: Metallurgical Microscope Inspectors & Micro-structure Microscopes.
- Mechanical Strength: Universal Testing Machines (for Tensile/Pull-out tests) & Impact Testing Machines.
- Precision Metrology: Profile Measurement Instruments, Hardness Testers, and Automatic Diameter Measuring Instruments.
