In an increasingly competitive industry like metalworking, quality documentation is fundamental not only to guarantee product excellence but also to maintain customer trust. Gears and reducers are critical components, yet their complexity demands rigorous quality controls. This becomes even more essential considering that 39% of companies experience productivity drops due to undetected defects (Qarma).
In the industrial mechanics sector, where every component must meet the highest standards, producing robust and efficient gears isn’t enough: it is essential to demonstrate that each product has passed rigorous quality checks, certified and documented transparently.
At Omme Gears, we are deeply aware of the importance of providing not only high-quality products but also complete and accurate quality documentation that guarantees reliability and compliance. Our commitment goes beyond production: we continuously invest in the best quality control techniques and ensure that every document issued is accurate and detailed.
This focus on quality documentation allows our clients full traceability and absolute assurance of the quality of every delivered component. In this article, we will show how Omme Gears handles every aspect of quality-related documentation, from compliance certifications to maintenance manuals, to provide you with a truly comprehensive service.
Compliance Declaration: Guaranteeing a Product Meets Specifications
One of the most important documents accompanying each delivery is the Compliance Declaration, a real “passport” for the product that certifies its quality and adherence to the specifications requested by the customer. But what makes this declaration so special?
For us, the Compliance Declaration is much more than a formal document: it is a certified quality guarantee, designed to provide our clients with maximum security. The Compliance Declaration includes detailed information about every stage of production, from material selection to manufacturing processes and final tests. Each step is meticulously described, with details of dimensional and geometric inspections, destructive tests verifying chemical composition, hardness, and mechanical characteristics, and non-destructive testing results.
This quality documentation allows our clients to verify every aspect of the product, ensuring that each component has been manufactured according to the strictest industry standards. This type of continuous verification is supported by inspection reports that document each stage of the process. In this way, customers can have a clear picture of the product’s quality and its long-term performance.
Advanced Controls: From Raw Materials to Microhardness Testing
Quality documentation starts from the earliest stages of production, when raw materials are tested. For Omme Gears, a quality component comes from quality raw materials. That is why we use a quantometer for an initial control of chemical and metallurgical properties, confirming that they meet specific design requirements. This test prevents any structural defect from the first stages of the production process.
Following this initial control, a series of microhardness and welding tests are conducted on the components, essential to guarantee the effectiveness of heat treatments. These tests confirm that each gear and reducer has the necessary hardness and resistance to function optimally. Omme Gears understands the importance of quality documentation to ensure the durability and reliability of each product and includes the results of all tests conducted in the final certificates that accompany each delivery.
Helix, Involute, and Magnetic Testing: Assured Precision
In the world of gears, precision is everything. That is why Omme Gears conducts helix and involute tests, without which it would not be possible to certify the quality of the teeth. These tests allow us to verify the shape and geometry of the teeth, ensuring superior performance and minimizing the risk of wear. Additionally, we test surface roughness, a key element in reducing noise and vibrations: the result is a product that not only works better but lasts longer.
One of the main challenges in gear production is avoiding the presence of cracks, defects that can compromise the durability and safety of the component. For this reason, we use magnetic testing, which can detect even the thinnest cracks, ensuring optimal safety. Omme Gears includes the results of these tests in the quality documentation, confirming to customers that each gear is free of critical defects.
Dynamic Balancing and Leak Testing: Guaranteed Stability
For planetary and cycloidal gearboxes, Omme Gears also provides dynamic balancing certifications and pressure leak tests (or Leak Test). These tests ensure product stability even under the most demanding working conditions. With Omme Gears, you can be confident that each reducer can withstand high pressures and intense mechanical stresses, always delivering maximum reliability.
Quality Documentation: Maintenance Manual and Installation Guidelines
In addition to quality documentation related to compliance and control reports, Omme Gears provides a detailed maintenance manual and installation guidelines for components. These documents help our clients ensure that our gears and reducers are installed and managed correctly, maximizing their durability and performance.
The manual covers every aspect of routine maintenance, from periodic checks to lubrication, up to the replacement of worn parts. Omme Gears’ quality documentation is therefore comprehensive and encompasses every phase of the product life cycle, providing customers with all the information needed to keep our components in excellent condition, minimizing the risk of breakdowns and malfunctions.
