DANCO’s commitment to quality can be observed in its acquisition of state-of-the-art measurement systems. DANCO currently supports its manufacturing efforts with the daily use of three VCMMs, circular geometry measurement, and a manual CMM. All quality, manufacturing, and personal gages are controlled via a central gage calibration system, with applicable surveillance masters traceable to national standards. Calibrations not performed internally are subcontracted to vendors certified to NAVLAP and/or A2LA. Core loss testing is performed against ASTM A927, “Test Method for Alternating-Current Magnetic Properties of Toroidal Core Specimens Using the Voltmeter-Ammeter-Wattmeter Method. A Remagraph test is employed for DC testing against ASTM A 773,” a Test Method for DC Magnetic Properties using Ring and Permeameter Procedures with DC Electronic Hysteresigraphs.

DANCO’s quality management system recognizes the importance of the continual monitoring and review. This monitoring and planned review affords the opportunity for continual improvement, and helps maintain compliance with customer, statutory/regulatory and ethical standards. This, in turn, effectively provides our customers with the confidence that DANCO can provide quality products that meet all agreed-upon requirements, now and in the future.
