Production Flow
Systematic Manufacturing & Inspection Milestones
Every order transitions through rigorous checkpoints to ensure tight tolerances, flawless aesthetic finishes, and seamless functional motion.
Step 02
Precision Tooling & Moulding
In-house progressive dies and CNC mould maintenance ensure sub-millimeter tolerances for complex hinge joints, slide profiles, and hydraulic cylinder casings.
Step 03
Continuous Punching & Stamping
High-speed hydraulic stamping presses stamp hinge arms, base plates, and runner rails with burr-free edges and consistent dimensional profiles.
Step 04
Robotic & Auto-Riveting Assembly
Precision multi-stage riveting lines link hydraulic cylinders, springs, and adjustment screws with consistent closing tension and minimal free play.
Step 05
100% In-Line Functional Checks
Operators and pneumatic gauges test every hinge for soft-close damping speed, rebound force, and screw thread integrity before passing to packaging.
Step 06
Packaging & Barcode Labeling
Automated bagging, custom branded color boxes, moisture-barrier wrapping, and export-grade corrugated cartons ensure zero transit damage.
Testing Apparatus
In-House Laboratory & Diagnostic Instruments
Our dedicated facility features computerized testing equipment simulating years of intensive commercial and residential use.
Hinge Durability Tester
Cyclic mechanical arm tests concealed and 3D hinges across 50,000 to 100,000 cycles to evaluate spring fatigue and hydraulic damper damping longevity.
Guide Rail Fatigue Tester
Applies dynamic rated loads (35kg to 225kg) across ball bearing runners and undermount slides to evaluate roller wear, sag, and soft-close consistency.
Salt Spray Chamber
Accelerated neutral salt spray (NSS) chamber continuously verifies the corrosion resistance of nickel, zinc, black electrophoretic, and chrome finishes.
High Cabinet Door Tester
Simulates stress on tall wardrobe and pantry doors up to 2.8 meters to verify pivot arm rigidity and downward sag prevention.
Gas Strut Fatigue Machine
Continuous stroke cycling tests validate pressure retention, rod seal integrity, and silent movement in furniture gas lift supports.
Gas Spring Force (N) Tester
Digital load cell measures exact Newton force output (50N–150N) to ensure lift struts precisely match flap door weights.
Push-Open Fatigue Tester
Tests handleless rebound latches and push-to-open slides for steady stroke distance and trigger sensitivity over 30,000+ actuations.
Thrust & Tension Tester
Measures shear strength, tensile failure points, and cup screw extraction limits for hinges, handles, and connecting brackets.
Screw Torque Tester
Inspects the torque limits of 3D cam screws and mounting plate fixings to prevent thread stripping during on-site power tool installation.
Rockwell Hardness Tester
Evaluates heat-treatment and core hardness of rivets, link plates, and ball bearing channels to prevent plastic deformation.
Falling Ball Impact Tester
Validates surface coating adhesion and the structural resilience of polymer damper shells and glass door clamp fittings.
Digital Precision Gauge
Calibrated electronic vernier and height micrometers guarantee interchangeability and strict conformance to customer CAD files.
