Benefits of X-Ray Non-Destructive Testing of Auto Parts

  Whether you are a world-class lean manufacturer of ignition coils, piston rods, engine valve heads, transmission gears or any other critical automotive components, or a small CNC shop, seemingly invisible defects can surface within your auto parts.

For example, Tom Rohr, owner of Advanced Engine  writes:

“… the least common result of valve stem failure is the valve itself, you must always make sure you can identify the root cause of a fracture prior to replacing the engine valve(s).”

The number of vehicle recalls has grown over the past 20 years to the point where in 2016, the market experienced more than 1,000 vehicle recalls for the first time (Exhibit 1). In 2017, on average, 3.1 vehicles were recalled for each vehicle sold.

Since potential dangers are not seen by the naked eye, countless dollars are at risk of loss either by scrapping a production run, or worse — allowing defective products to go into vehicles and/or the aftermarket. 

If the cause is discovered to be faulty production of automotive parts the liability, recall, and recovery costs will far outweigh the small amount of time involved in verifying the quality of your OEM automotive parts.

With CXR Company by your side, this risk is minimized via the usage of our x-ray equipment.
