One way, no backtracking

A single-direction process, audited at every zone.

Seven zones, one direction

Raw material in · packed parts out · no return path

1 · Raw material

Intake

Material is booked in against its heat number. That log is the thread every later record points back to.

2 · CNC

Precision machining

Bodies and seal seats are machined from 303 stainless and 304 stainless, the grades this class of part is machined in. industry practice

3 · Welding

Welding unit

Manifold headers and coupling bodies are joined in a dedicated unit, then routed to finishing. See the welding page.

4 · Finishing

Surface and passivation

Surface treatment and passivation before any part is allowed near the clean side.

5 · Cleanroom

Clean assembly

Semiconductor-grade clean assembly. industry practice The zone is described below, and in detail on the cleanroom assembly page.

6 · Test

In-house benches

Four bench types sit at the end of the line. What each one measures is below; the acceptance bands belong to the quality page.

7 · Packing

Clean packing

Dust plugs, clean-compatible packing and a laser-marked serial before anything leaves the building.

One-direction flow: material does not go back. Rework leaves the line at a separate lane and is recorded like any other movement. That lane is the marked branch on the drawing above.

Both lines, one record

2 lines · 1 record · shared traceability

Coupling line A dedicated line for quick disconnects, running the sizes the UQD range covers.

Manifold line A second line for manifolds, where the work is headers, ports and pitch. See the manifold range.

Shared Both lines draw on the same heat-number and inspection records, so material traceability is one account rather than two. industry practice

Changeover Changeover between part numbers is a documented procedure, and the first parts after it are inspected: a changeover is not a shortcut.

Cleanroom assembly, as practised

Industry practice · gowning · monitoring

Industry practice

Semiconductor-grade clean assembly and shipping verification, the practice this product class is held to rather than a class number borrowed from another industry. industry practice

Gowning & transfer

Gowning and transfer protocols are followed at the entry, so the entry is a controlled step rather than a doorway that happens to be closed.

Monitoring

Environmental monitoring is recorded against procedure. No cleanroom class figure is claimed on this page.

What the in-house lab runs

Four bench types · per-part discipline

Helium leak In-house helium leak testing. The acceptance bands and the sensitivity figure belong to the test plan, and they are on the quality page.

Pressure Hydrostatic proof and hold testing before a part is released to packing.

Cycle Connect and disconnect cycling to the endurance figure the specification sets.

Flow Flow and pressure-drop measurement, so the curve a buyer specifies is the curve that was measured.

Five bench units on a white ground — instrumented consoles and cabinet units, presented as a product set

The bench set: control console, environmental chamber, pressure cabinet and two instrumented benches, shown as an equipment set rather than as a photograph of a room. Per-part leak testing is the practice this class of supplier is held to. industry practice The benches are duplicated at the end of the line, and each one carries its calibration schedule on the bench itself.

What the line tests is here; how the results are judged, and to which standard, is on the quality page.

System reference and traceability

Capability wording · document control · serials

Rendering: finished parts in sealed clean bags on a shelf, the serial markings cut into the surface unreadable

System reference

Connector manufacturers of this class run ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 systems. industry benchmark This page states the alignment rather than the paperwork: an ISO 9001-aligned process, with no document numbers, no scans and no legal entity named on this site.

Document control

Document control and corrective action are in place, and internal audits run on a fixed calendar rather than when a customer asks.

Traceability

Laser-marked serials, with lots traceable back to the heat number the material was booked in under. The record travels with the batch.

Packing

Dust plugs and clean-compatible packing before dispatch, so the last zone does not undo the fifth.

Equipment the zones are built from

Machining and process cells · finishing and forming

A row of CNC machines along a workshop bay, tool trolleys parked between them — Machining bayzone 2 · cell row

A precision machine tool with two windowed doors, seen from the front on a workshop floor — Machining cellzone 2 · single machine

A fixture bench in an aluminium frame, its lid raised over a trough fitted with a row of ports, a control box alongside — Fixture benchzones 2–3 · work holding

A blue-panelled cabinet with white framing, its upper doors carrying mesh-backed viewing windows — Cabinet unitzone 4 · mesh-windowed doors

An automated finishing line: gantry hoists over a run of process tanks — Finishing linezone 4 · tanks and gantry

A press line: mechanical presses standing in a row along a workshop bay — Press lineupstream forming

A die-casting cell seen at floor level: the machine base and a steel pallet on a marked floor — Casting cellupstream forming

The forming and casting cells feed the machining zones rather than sitting inside the seven-zone path. The machining route itself, down to the seal-face finish, is on the precision CNC page; the wider set of processes is on capabilities.

Line walk

Walk the line, from your desk.

Ask for a live walk-through or a recorded audit of the zone you care about, against an ISO 9001-aligned process and the records behind each batch. Staged delivery and first-article work are handled on the project support page.
