Quality Standards and Certifications
ISO 9001:2015
KJLC Manufacturing gained ISO 9001:2015 standard certification in 2004. However, we are well aware that quality is not about a certificate, it is about process and dedication.
ASME Section IX Welding Standard
KJLC Manufacturing welders are qualified to AWS D1.6, assuring our commitment for delivering high quality weld processes.
Inspection
In-process inspections are made at every step by the KJLC Manufacturing team member responsible for that step. At select stages and again on job completion the product is inspected by our experienced quality control technicians using the appropriate manual inspection tools or a coordinate measuring machine. Complex parts are dimensionally checked with a FARO coordinate measuring machine.
KJLC has a full complement of calibrated inspection equipment including calipers, bore gauges, pin gauges, micrometers, thread gauges, optical comparators and profilometers. Every inspection tool used by KJLC Manufacturing carries an identification tag and is re-calibrated on its scheduled date. Calibration is done by in-house QC team (using transfer standards) and outside team as required.
KJLC Manufacturing tests all vacuum components and assemblies with state of the art helium leak detectors (ultimate sensitivity of 10-12 atm cc/sec He). Leak check certifications are provided for any product upon request and can be performed to ASTM E 498 or 499 standards as required.
Metrology
Geometric dimensioning and tolerances to the ASME Y14.5-2009 standard
