PRODUCTION & QUALITY
From steel plate to tested machine.
Fabrication, machining, painting, assembly and testing under one roof — with an inspection record on every machine.
How it works
The Craton production flow
Five stages, one quality system, and a signed checklist at the end.
Steel preparation
Plates and pipes are cut, beveled and prepped by CNC plasma and laser lines.
Robotic & manual welding
Critical joints are robotically welded; every weld is jig-inspected before painting.
Machining & sub-assembly
Drive components are CNC machined in-house and matched to their housings.
Assembly & painting
Lines are assembled, routed and finished in multi-stage paint with anti-corrosion protection.
Testing & sign-off
Hydraulic pressure tests, 2-hour running-in, then the 40-point pre-delivery inspection.
Testing is a gate, not a checkbox
Before any machine leaves the line it must pass a running-in test under load, hydraulic pressure verification on every circuit, and a final operational check by a named inspector. The signed checklist travels with the machine.
- 2-hour loaded running-in test per machine
- Hydraulic pressure tested to rated working limits
- Leak, noise and vibration checks on final assembly
- Signed PDI checklist shipped in the manual pack
Inspect before you buy
Arrange a factory visit or a third-party inspection on your first order — most buyers do.
