I have a 3 stage IR cure oven that we use to powder coat small, low volume parts. I am being told by the manufacturer/assembler of this oven that there is no way to verify that the percentages that I set each of the three zones in the oven at are actually where they are set (pardon the poor grammar in that sentence - my reassessment is just over a week away :mg: just a lil frazzled) .
Although this is my first audit with this company, we have had a finding on this oven during each of the last 2 audits. Hmmmm, let's see, where do we all think he's headed first on the floor???????
Verification that the parameters are set correctly is performed by doing a cure check on the parts after they are coated. Each color that we coat has specific documented parameters. Even so, aren't we are letting the process control us instead of controlling the process?
Hope this is enough info for all of the Covers to get me started in the right direction on this.
Thanks in advance,
Adriane
