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.
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 four steps:
