#qualitycontrol is an important aspect of our work. As per the standards of the #spaceindustry we are conducting function tests at key junctions of the manufacturing of our components. However, in contrast to the space of old we have invested heavily in automated testing which keeps the effort (and cost) low and the quality high.
The picture shows the function test bench for the reaction wheels. Currently it is sized for 4 wheels per batch. The full function test is 2-3h and a 300page report will be generated. A short version of 30min with 80page report is available, too.
If you want to learn more about this automatic testing I recommend to you episode 1 of BST TV (https://lnkd.in/gYz2vPU)
