An opinion article by Manuel Ferro, Chief Operating Officer – QTS
With the aim of adding value to each project, QTS offers its clients the service of assembling technical metal and plastic parts.
Depending on the project, the part(s) can be assembled manually or using automatic equipment.
Manual assembly option
In this option, QTS has qualified staff for the process. A technical document is drawn up detailing the entire parts assembly process.
For the process, all the support means are used (when necessary), such as jigs, dimensional control equipment and functional tests.
The process is carried out in the best conditions of space and light, with each employee having their own perfectly defined work area according to their own layout for incoming parts and outgoing assemblies.
This entire process is supervised by the QTS Technical/Quality Department.
Automatic assembly option
In this option, QTS has the know-how to develop equipment tailored to the project.
This equipment is usually made up of a mechanical side and an electronic side.
This option can be important for part geometries or production rates that make manual assembly impossible.
As with manual assembly, they are applied to technical metal or plastic parts.
The equipment is designed and developed in accordance with all European standards and is ultimately certified in accordance with Directive 2006/42/EC.
The equipment is tested and operated by qualified operators.
Once the first samples have been approved by the client, the equipment is ready to go into production.
This equipment will be able to work at QTS's facilities in Braga, and the sets of parts will be sent to the client at the end of the process.
If the client wishes, the equipment can be installed on their premises, and the operators who will operate the equipment will be trained.
All machines have a warranty period defined by law and technical assistance whenever necessary.
QTS looks forward to helping make the process of assembling a metal part into a plastic part or any other part simple, effective and an asset to the client's overall project.
“PROVIDING THE BEST PARTNERS” is our motto.
