Stainless Rod Bending with Gauge QC for Crank Hardware
High-precision CNC bending of stainless steel rod into crank parts, verified on a go-no-go gauge plate. Single pieces and batches with dimensional proof.
Key Specifications
- Materials
- Stainless steel rod
Key Features
- Crank geometry proved on a gauge plate
- Every dimension lands inside the fixture outline
- CNC repeatability keeps batches gauge-passing
- Bulk bag packing for shipping counts
How Do You Prove Bent Rod Parts Are In Tolerance - Fast?
Short answer: With a gauge plate. This video shows stainless steel rods cranked on a high-precision CNC bender, then dropped onto a contour gauge fixture - parts that sit flush pass, and the bag fills with verified pieces.
What the Video Demonstrates
| Step | Operation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rod bent to program | Crank geometry |
| 2 | Part placed on gauge | Instant contour check |
| 3 | Flush fit confirmed | Pass |
| 4 | Parts bagged | Shipping-ready batch |
Key Applications
- Machine linkage cranks and offset levers
- Appliance mechanism rods
- Any rod part with multiple controlled dimensions
Gauge QC vs Caliper QC
| Method | Speed per part | Skill | Catches |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gauge plate | Seconds | None | Full contour |
| Calipers | Minutes | Operator | Point sizes |
| CMM | Long | Programmer | Full 3D |
FAQ
Do you make the gauge fixture too? Yes - contour gauges are built alongside the bending program for each part.
Can first articles be approved before batch? Standard practice: bend samples, gauge them, then release the full run.
