State-of-the-Art Inspection Equipment & Metrology Capability
Global procurement teams demand repeatable precision. Systrand continuously reinvests in advanced coordinate measuring machines (CMM), Zeiss 3D optical scanners, and automated gear analyzers to verify geometry, concentricity, profile, and lead tolerances down to sub-micron levels.
Every gear tooth profile, splined shaft, and ground journal undergoes rigorous statistical analysis before leaving our floor, ensuring zero launch delays and flawless assembly fitment for complex EV powertrains and hybrid gearboxes.
- 100% In-Line Gauging & Automated Error Proofing (Poka-Yoke)
- Zeiss High-Precision CMMs & Gear Profile Inspection Labs
- Complete Material Certification & Metallurgical Heat-Treat Audits
- Full PPAP Level 3 Documentation & Advanced APQP Execution
100% NVH Noise Signature Testing for EV & Hybrid Drivelines
With electric vehicle motors operating at high RPMs without internal combustion engine noise to mask gear whine, Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) control has become a critical success factor for global OEMs. Systrand leads the industry in high-speed, ultra-quiet gear production.
Our facility features custom automated NVH testing systems that conduct 100% noise signature testing on production gears and shafts. By analyzing order harmonics and surface waviness in real time, we prevent micro-geometry defects from ever reaching your assembly plant.
- Sub-Micron Surface Finish Polishing & Honing Capabilities
- Internal Gear Hard Skiving for Superior Tooth Micro-Geometry
- 1M+ EV & Hybrid Powertrain Components Operating in the Field
- Real-Time Frequency Analysis & Order Tracking
Foundations of Our Quality Guarantee
Our systematic engineering methodology combines decades of Tier 1 experience with advanced data analytics to eliminate risk for international buyers.
Real-Time SPC & Traceability
Statistical Process Control (SPC) data is tracked electronically across every machining cell. Barcode laser marking ensures 100% component-level lot traceability back to raw heat material certificates.
Distressed Supplier Resourcing
With over 40 years of emergency sourcing expertise, Systrand rapidly stabilizes distressed programs, rapidly taking over complex tooling and bringing PPAPs to 100% compliance without production downtime.
Continuous Engineering Improvement
Our dedicated quality engineering teams conduct 8D root-cause problem solving, FMEA risk assessments, and continuous kaizen initiatives to drive lower cost-per-part while elevating quality standards.
Expert Engineering & Certified Machine Operators
Advanced CNC turning centers, gear grinders, and laser welding systems are only as effective as the engineers and technicians who manage them. Systrand maintains an intensive internal training program focused on GD&T, precision metrology, and automotive quality standards.
Our seasoned tooling engineers collaborate directly with OEM design teams during early prototyping phases (DFM / DFA), optimizing gear geometry and material selection to reduce mass, improve strength, and lower total manufacturing cost.
