The constant aim of Bristol Spring is to generate a continuous history of quality shipments that enable our customers to reduce or eliminate the high cost of incoming inspection. To accomplish this goal, Bristol Spring controls quality beginning with the procurement of materials and supplies, to the manufacture of the product, to any vendor-related processes, and ultimately to the shipment of parts to you, that are assured to be your specifications.
Statistical Process Control, Statistical Quality Control and Statistical Analysis are the major tools used in our endeavor, along with the more traditional Quality Control procedures. These techniques are applied throughout our plant, not only by the trained technicians in our Quality Control department, but by our manufacturing supervisors and set-up personnel who have been and are being trained in the use of these techniques as they apply to the manufacturing process and its control.
In our modern world, only electronic devices are capable of measuring to the degree required to ensure that our springs and stampings will meet your needs. Bristol Spring has that equipment in our modern Quality Control department, equipment so precise that some of it must be supported on a bed of air to prevent building vibrations from interfering with its measuring of fractional gram loads. Other testing equipment is of a more common size, capable of measuring loads of up to 500 lbs. in compression or extension and to 50 inch pounds in torque. All testers, both electronic and manual (such as hardness testers, tensile testers, gauges, etc.) are checked, calibrated and certified traceable to the Bureau of National Standards twice each year.
