Risk is inherent in all manufacturing, but especially in today’s aerospace industry where the difference between a good and bad part can mean someone’s life. Understanding how to mitigate that risk is key to success and key to doing business.
At LFI Aerospace we’re able to gain our customers’ complete confidence in our processes through a practice known as “Validation”. An effective process validation contributes significantly to assuring product quality by establishing scientific evidence that a process is capable of consistently delivering quality goods.
This is done through statistical analysis of data collected as part of a pre-approved protocol. The knowledge and understanding gained is the basis for establishing an approach to control the manufacturing process; specifically controlling the variation of the process in a manner commensurate with the risk it represents to the process and product.Validations consist of three separate lots from which random samples are selected, inspected and analyzed using Minitab. The Minitab analysis below analyzes weld strength data gathered during a laser weld validation.Contact us (email goes to answers@lfimedical.com) to learn how your product can be manufactured to these high standards.

LFI Aerospace recently installed a new Smartscope Quest 650 by OGP for inspection of high precision components and assemblies. It is the only machine of its kind at a contract manufacturer in the US. High-speed linear motors, multi-sensors, touch probes and 3D geometric functionality contribute to rapid inspection throughput. This technology has enabled us to access and measure components and features that were previously unable to be inspected in a non-destructive manner..
