Quality Engineering
At Yukon Gear & Axle we set the standard for in-house quality control to make sure you’re getting the highest quality parts available in the market today. Our two high tech in-house quality labs contain high-tech devices such as:
• Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM): An auto¬mated measuring machine that can check parts against a drawing. Accuracy is measured down to .005mm (.0002”).
• Spectrometer: A machine used to test & determine the chemical composition of metal.
• Micro-Hardness Tester: Tests in thousandths of an inch increments to determine proper heat treat gradient.
• Optical Comparator: Magnified inspection checking pressure angles, spline geometry, button machining, etc.
• Gleason Model 17A: A Ring & Pinion Roll Stand that quickly & accurately tests contact patterns in a rolling environment.
• Microscope & polishing equipment: Used to check for proper metal grain structure & strength.
Yukon has the largest Quality department in the industry second to none!
