QUALITY ASSURANCE IN THE PRODUCTION OF CARBON BIKES
The production of high-quality TAVELO carbon frames is quite complex. Depending on the model, a frame can be lay up of as many as 300 carbon fiber pieces, each precisely shaped to bear the load of different parts of the frame.
​
From bare thread to finished, it takes over 60 hours to complete and painted. Around 35 specialists from different departments are involved in the process. Given all this, quality assurance plays a critical role throughout.
​
The carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) used in the frame must meet the highest standards for strength, stiffness, appearance, and weight. To achieve this, seamless quality control is essential. By documenting every production step in detail, improvements can be made, and errors avoided.
CONTROL OF RAW MATERIALS
Quality control begins with the inspection of the raw materials used and their manual or mechanical processing. This is the only way to produce frame components that meet all the specifications from the design and withstand the calculated loads. In addition, conscientious quality control in series production ensures that the properties of all frame components remain the same.
​
The properties of frame parts made of CFRP material depend heavily on careful manufacturing. After a component has been completed, possible production defects such as defective material or unclean alignment of the carbon layers can only be detected with extremely high effort. In the course of quality control, efforts are therefore made to eliminate material defects and defective parts from the manufacturing process as early as possible.
QUALITY ASSURANCE IN FRAME MANUFACTUIRNG
For quality assurance during the construction of the all TAVELO frame, there are clear standard operating procedures (SOP) for each process step. These procedures cover the inspection of all workpieces, auxiliary materials, operating materials and work instructions. The specific quality inspection can be divided into three steps:
​
1. Incoming Materials Inspection
2. Inter-departmental Quality Control and Quality Assurance in Process
​3. Final Quality Control
