Process Inspection: Ensuring Quality at Every Step of Red Light Therapy Panel Manufacturing

You cannot simply inspect the final product and rely on luck. Quality has to be built in, step by step.

REDDOT implements a rigorous process inspection system throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring that quality is maintained at every stage, from LED bead soldering to final panel assembly. This includes inspections of LED bead soldering/mounting, power supply and control board installation, lens installation, and panel assembly, all adhering to international standards and performed by qualified personnel.

I've seen factories where quality control is an afterthought. That's not how we do things at REDDOT. Let me show you how we maintain quality throughout the entire process.

LED Bead Soldering/Mounting Inspection: The Foundation of Performance

The LEDs are the heart of the panel. If they're not properly soldered and mounted, the whole thing falls apart.

REDDOT employs a multi-stage inspection mechanism for LED bead soldering and mounting, ensuring that each LED is correctly positioned and securely attached. This includes first inspection, in-process inspection, and final inspection, all adhering to strict international standards.

The Inspection Mechanism:

• First Inspection: An initial inspection is performed after the first few LEDs are soldered/mounted to identify any potential issues early in the process.
• In-Process Inspection: Regular inspections are performed throughout the soldering/mounting process to ensure consistent quality.
• Final Inspection: A comprehensive inspection is performed after all LEDs are soldered/mounted to verify that there are no defects.

Standards and Equipment:

• ISO/IEC/IPC/GB Standards: We adhere to these international standards for electronic assembly.
• AOI (Automated Optical Inspection): This machine uses high-resolution cameras to automatically inspect the solder joints for defects.
• X-ray: This technology allows us to see inside the solder joints to detect any hidden flaws.

Qualified Personnel:

• Induction Training: All inspection personnel undergo thorough induction training.
• Pre-Job Training: Specific training is provided for each inspection task.
• Certification: Inspectors must pass assessments to receive a license to perform their duties.

Power Supply, Control Board, and Lens Installation Inspection: Ensuring Functionality and Safety

It's not just about the LEDs. The other components are just as important.

REDDOT performs rigorous inspections of the power supply, control board, and lens installation to ensure that these components are correctly installed and functioning properly. This ensures the overall functionality and safety of the red light therapy panel.

Inspection Points:

• Power Supply: Testing for correct voltage and current output and checking for any signs of damage.
• Control Board: Verifying that all components are correctly soldered and that the board is functioning as intended.
• Lens Installation: Ensuring that the lenses are properly aligned and securely attached and checking for any scratches or other defects.
• Wiring inspection: Make sure the wires are connected correctly and reliably, using a puller to do a pull test.

Why It Matters:

• Functionality: Ensures that the panel operates as intended.
• Safety: Prevents potential electrical hazards.
• Performance: Ensures optimal light output and distribution.

Panel Assembly Inspection: The Final Check

Before it leaves the factory, every panel gets one last, thorough look.

REDDOT performs a final panel assembly inspection to ensure that all components are correctly assembled and that the finished product meets our strict quality standards. This is the last line of defense before the panel is shipped to the customer.

Inspection Items:

• Overall Appearance: Checking for any scratches, dents, or other cosmetic defects.
• Component Alignment: Ensuring that all components are properly aligned and securely attached.
• Functional Testing: Performing a final functional test to verify that the panel operates correctly.
• Labeling and Packaging: Checking that the panel is properly labeled and packaged for shipment.

The Goal:

• Zero Defects: To ensure that no defective panels reach the customer.
• Customer Satisfaction: To provide a high-quality product that meets or exceeds customer expectations.
• Brand Reputation: To maintain REDDOT's reputation for quality and reliability.

Conclusion

REDDOT's Process Inspection system is not just a checklist, it's a mindset. It's about ensuring quality at every step.
