Customer Requirements & Our Solution
Customer requirement
YTD’s approach
Customer requirement
Keep the parts flat and straight
The customer required close control of the parts’ shape, alongside the strength needed for carcass handling.
YTD’s approach
Build a check around the actual part.
YTD developed a dedicated inspection fixture to make these shape checks practical during production.
Customer requirement
Supply the specified stainless steel
CF8M was specified for this meat processing application, with documentation required to confirm the material.
YTD’s approach
Support the parts with material documentation.
YTD supplied a material report confirming conformity with the specified grade.
Customer requirement
Complete the agreed finishing work
The order required an overall sandblasted finish, with machining limited to the hook’s connection end.
YTD’s approach
Deliver the parts with finishing completed.
YTD handled both surface finishing and the specified machining within the project’s supply scope.
A Dedicated Fixture for Faster Checks
YTD designed and manufactured an inspection fixture specifically for this project. It allowed the team to check both flatness and straightness quickly.
This gave production staff a practical way to check the customer’s requirements on the actual cast parts.
