INCOMING QUALITY INSPECTION

We can ensure that all supplied products conform to all specified requirements through our state-of-the-art inspection facility. Customer complaints are rare, however if one occurs our inspection department delivers the resources to quickly analyze and resolve the situation. J Royal’s primary inspection tools include:

• Micro-Vu Non-contact Visual Inspection Devices: Our Micro-Vu measurement systems are J Royal’s main inspection tools. They are highly sophisticated, computerized machines that can automatically measure parts against industry standards or the customer’s prints or drawings. Micro-Vu has an advantage over an optical comparator in that it can take measurements in the Z-axis (vertically). This accommodates dimensional measurements that normally would need to be taken on sectioned samples. Also, given the 3D nature of the Micro-Vu measurement system, we can measure distance, angle, diameter, radius, circularity, flatness, concentricity, parallelism, sphericity, true position, plus many more GD&T features.   
• Density: We measure the specific gravity of incoming products through the Archimedes process. This enables us to quickly verify the compound type because the most common elastomers have a wide enough density range to allow identification through the specific gravity method. 
• Shore A & M durometers: One of the most important physical properties of rubber materials is hardness. J Royal is equipped to measure incoming product on either Shore scale which helps us ensure that incoming parts meet customer hardness specifications. Typically, J Royal measures incoming shipments with the Shore A probe, though smaller parts often require durometer readings with the Shore M probe. 
• Full Equipment List:
• Two 12”x12”x6” Micro-Vu Units
• Rex Shore M probe
• Rex Shore A probe 
• Analytical Lab Balance for reading specific gravity
