AXIS MAGNETICS

Quality Planning

Quality planning for magnet programs.

Axis Magnetics can support the quality steps a program needs: material review, magnetic inspection, coating validation, reliability testing, assembly controls, and production documentation.

Magnet quality inspection, testing, and validation process

Quality checks matched to the program

Not every program needs every step. The quality plan is selected around customer requirements, application risk, production volume, and the way the magnet or assembly needs to perform in use.

Application Risk Review

Application risk, environment, customer requirements, critical dimensions, magnetic output, coating needs, and production volume are reviewed before selecting a quality plan.

Specification Review

Drawings, material callouts, tolerances, magnetization direction, coating requirements, inspection points, and acceptance criteria can be reviewed before sampling.

Material Confirmation

Material path, HRE-Free requirements, magnetic performance target, coating compatibility, and production fit can be checked against the application.

Dimensional Inspection

Critical dimensions, chamfers, arcs, rings, molded features, plastic carrier fit, assembly position, and tolerance stack-up can be verified.

Magnetic Inspection

Surface gauss, flux, polarity, pull force, field-map behavior, multi-pole pattern, and magnetization orientation can be measured as required.

Visual & Handling Criteria

Chips, cracks, plating defects, exposed edges, cleanliness, cosmetic limits, handling damage, and packaging protection can be defined.

Coating Validation

Coating thickness, adhesion, corrosion protection, salt spray, humidity exposure, and edge coverage can be reviewed for NdFeB and assemblies.

Thermal & Reliability Testing

Thermal cycling, high-temperature exposure, humidity, life-cycle testing, demagnetization risk, and environmental durability can be reviewed.

Assembly Process Controls

Magnet presence, polarity, orientation, adhesive bond, overmolded retention, pull-out force, fixture controls, and finished assembly checks can be planned.

Sample & Approval Reports

First article checks, sample inspection reports, coating reports, magnetic measurement data, and approval records can be prepared when required.

Production Monitoring

Lot inspection, process checks, sampling plans, control points, traceability, packaging checks, and nonconformance review can support repeatable supply.

Release Documentation

Certificates, inspection summaries, material documentation, test reports, and program-specific quality records can be added when required.

Documentation

Documentation should match the customer requirement.

Some programs need basic dimensional and magnetic confirmation. Others need sample reports, coating validation, lot traceability, or automotive-style documentation. The plan should fit the requirement.

IATF-oriented documentation support can be reviewed when an automotive project requires it.

Inspection plan or control-plan style checkpoints

First article or sample inspection report

Magnetic measurement report for flux, gauss, polarity, or pull force

Coating thickness, adhesion, humidity, or salt-spray report

Dimensional report for critical-to-function features

Material and coating declaration support when required

Lot traceability and packaging requirements

PPAP-style documentation can be reviewed for automotive programs when required
