recorded in the Quarta SPC module and sent to the operator through the networked PC (wi-fi or ethernet). A simple and user-friendly interface (Themis) allows the
operator to enter the measurement values and to display the chosen control chart, and provides timely alarm signals (run, trend, out of control limits, out of tolerances, middle third, etc). Integrated in the Quarta®
system, the SPC module makes it
possible to not only plan, control and assess the production processes, but also to carry out an overall analysis that considers all the data in the company information system. Eldes says that Quarta®

to comply with the requirements of major automotive regulations (ie: ISO/TS 16949) and to implement such regulations in the improvement of costs and efficiency: ISO/TS Core Tools software includes APQP, PPAP, FMEA, Control Plan, 8D report, sampling, derogations, concessions, and modification management. The Measurement System Analysis (MSA) represents an efficient tool for determining the capability of the specific means of control when testing the new means acquired and for checking and calibrating those already used. Ford, Bosch, Cnomo and QS9000 regulations have also been implemented. In many situations, so as to comply with UNI and ISO-TS

ENKOTEC demonstrates three nail manufacturing lines
ENKOTEC is demonstrating three high performance nail manufacturing lines at wire 2012, Düsseldorf.
ENKOnail+ upgrade of high capacity nail machine series The brand new NI02 machine is the first of the ENKOnail+
machines to appear in an upgraded version with release later this year. The upgrade includes features such as the disco variator replaced by a robust and maintenance free servomotor drive, a new improved system for insertion timing, larger feed rollers with longer life, and exhaust air connections for efficient dust evacuation. The six PLC-controlled ENKOnail+ machines, producing up to 2,000 nails per minute, cover a product range of diameter 1.8mm - 4.2mm x 32mm - 130mm nail length.
ENKOline system with ENKOroll thread rolling machine This high speed in-line nail manufacturing line utilises an
ENKOnail+ NH01 nail machine for the manufacture of short nails with dimensions 1.8mm - 2.87mm and 32mm - 65mm length. The machine will be producing shear point nails during the show and will be set up with the ENKOroll thread-rolling machine, type TA01, designed for making screw shank or annular nail profiles with a production speed of up to 2,500 nails per minute.
New ENKOpack nail counter packaging system The ENKOnail type MI01 machine produces nails of
dimensions 2.3mm - 3.8mm and 50mm - 90mm length at a speed of 1,000 nails per minute. The MI01 model, intended for small and midsize capacity needs, features a more mechanical adjustment set-up than the high capacity ENKOnail+ series. The MI01 will be running with the ENKOpack nail counter packaging unit, type NCP02, ENKOTEC’s new movable stand alone system, which automatically feeds the nail cartons, fills them with the accurate number of nails, and transports the nail cartons via automatic drive belt conveyors.
regulations, the units of a lot must be tested. A typical example is the acceptance of incoming goods. Quarta’s goods acceptance module allows testing (accept/reject) of incoming goods, outgoing goods (final inspection) and goods in process. Test procedures can be defined for different purposes and at different levels, such as article, article/supplier and article line.
Keighley Labs receives
aerospace accreditation The heat treatment division of Keighley Laboratories has been certificated to the AS9100 Revision C standard, the quality management system for the aviation, space and defence industries.
D
esigned to meet the stringent and complex demands of the international aerospace industry, AS9100 is the highest certification in the sector and Revision C is the latest version of a standard with which all suppliers
must comply, in order to ensure a listing on the OASIS (online aerospace supplier information system) database. The West Yorkshire company was audited over a three-
day period by BSI, the UK’s premier certification body, and was recommended for accreditation to AS9100 Revision C, strengthening its position as a specialist technology provider and augmenting its existing accreditation to BS EN ISO 9001:2008. Earlier, a four man team led by heat treatment technical manager, Allan Carter, a qualified metallurgist and chartered engineer, had put in place a year long programme aimed at implementing changes to internal systems and procedures necessary under Revision C. “The major themes for the new AS9100 specification were
risk assessment and customer satisfaction,” says Allan. “This has entailed reviewing all of our First Article Inspection reports and developing risk management procedures for all new aerospace work, including treatment process sheets identifying temperature and soaking times, quenchants used, testing stages, case depth and other technical criteria.” A major requirement within Revision C is for organisations
to take responsibility for their specific supply chains and ensure that all products making up aircraft components conform to standard, including implementing the necessary processes to verify procured products and services. As an AS9100 Rev C accredited supplier of heat treatment services, Keighley Labs can offer its customers a quality management system accepted by the aerospace industry and ensure compliance with risk management throughout the supply chain.
