  • 1.Dimensional Inspection: Using precision measurement tools (e.g., calipers, micrometers, CMM) to check the outer diameter, inner diameter, thickness, free height (for springs), and other key dimensions, ensuring they are within specified tolerances.
    2. Visual Inspection: Inspecting components for surface defects like cracks, burrs, or deformation and verifying surface finishes and treatments for quality (e.g., corrosion resistance).
    3. Testing: Conducting functional tests on wave springs (e.g., load deflection, spring rate) to verify performance under load. For steel rings, ensuring proper fit (e.g., clearance or interference fit).
    4. Documentation: Recording inspection results in reports, maintaining traceability, and documenting any non-conformance issues.
    5. Compliance: Ensuring products comply with industry standards, customer specifications, and quality control plans before approval for shipment.
