IATF Certified Control Arm Ball Joint Assembly by SH Auto Parts

SH Auto Parts recognizes the critical importance of high quality, high precision control arm ball joint assembly as a key component of car suspension parts manufacturing. The automated ball joint assembly and quality testing facilities at our Smart Factory in Taiwan offer IATF certified high speed, reliable control arm manufacturing that you can rely on to never let you down.

The need for quality in control arm ball joint assembly

Control arm ball joint assembly is a key stage of car suspension parts manufacturing because suspension ball joints fulfil such an important role in suspension stability, steering control and safety. Finished control arms, like the example shown above in our laser etching line, rely on consistent quality control of all components and stages of production to build a reliable, safe, high quality product.

Excellent quality management of control arm ball joint assembly to International Automotive Task Force (IATF) standards is a necessary feature of modern automotive chassis component manufacturing to safeguard vehicle handling and performance, and minimize the risk of failures.

• Consistent & effective wheel alignment
• Shock absorption
• Accurate tracking & steering

Our Smart Factory in Taiwan features extensive and comprehensive quality control capabilities with experienced, conscientious management and accurate progress tracking and reporting. SH Auto Parts quality management includes serial number and live bar code tracking of individual items in the production workflow, for high precision testing and recording to any standard required.

How does SH Auto Parts increase control arm ball joint lifespan & eliminate manufacturing faults?

At SH Auto Parts we apply a combination of innovative, automated assembly processes and thorough in-process and post-process quality testing systems to maximize control arm ball joint lifespan and reliable performance by eliminating manufacturing faults.

What are common issues in suspension control arm ball joint assembly?

Inconsistent material manufacturing standards, inaccurate assembly leading to inadequate grease and moisture seals, inadequate lubrication and poor installation alignment are all manufacturing faults in ball joint assembly that lead to premature failures, sometimes with catastrophic consequences.

How does SH Auto Parts ball joint assembly increase quality?

High manufacturing precision and assembly, using consistent materials and processes, and expert quality control measures are the key features of SH Auto Parts success in control arm ball joint assembly to achieve and exceed the IATF standards set by global automotive brands. There are three key features of our ball joint assembly system that increase quality:

• Robotic production for consistent results
• State of the art quality control systems
• Comprehensive control arm identification & tracking

Robotic production for consistent results

Robotic production ensures consistent manufacturing processes, which replicate accurate component alignment, seal insertion and assembly for exact duplication of every component without the risk of human variation or errors in the production process.

State of the art quality control

Our quality control and testing facility uses state of the art CMM to check roundness and concentricity as well as total quality checks on assembled control arms and other car suspension parts that require ball joint assemblies.

Control arm identification and tracking through production stages

Laser engraving of individual suspension components ensures rapid identification, tracking and checking for assembled control arms, while bar code and QR code tracking enables quality management through all production stages.

Precision control arm ball joint assembly for handling and durability

Suspension ball joints are in constant motion and must endure highly variable stress loads, especially in off-road or performance applications. This makes high-quality manufacturing essential as the precision of ball joint engineering has multiple impacts on the entire suspension system.

Control arm engineering tolerances and ball joint materials

Ball joints are an integral part of control arm engineering, and must meet the specified engineering tolerances of the design. This means that control arm ball joints are manufactured from high quality steels and the design of the cup and liner includes wear resistant materials and appropriate lubrication.

• Lubrication and use of materials to control friction
• Ball joint articulation
• Secure ball joint seals to resist contamination

SH Auto Parts: automated ball joint assembly & stringent quality control

Vehicle handling, comfort and safety are key considerations in automotive engineering design, and all of these are affected by the quality of control arm ball joint assembly, making it one of the most important elements in car suspension part manufacturing.
