Inspect Faster. Reduce Scrap. Deliver Safer Vehicles.

MQS helps OEMs and suppliers validate internal quality of castings and assemblies—at production speeds.

Industry Overview

Automotive manufacturing is moving toward zero-defect production, driven by safety expectations, EV adoption, and tighter customer standards. Many modern parts—cast housings, brake components, powertrain parts, and critical sub-assemblies—can fail due to internal defects that are not visible externally. That’s why Digital Radiography (DR) and CT are increasingly used: they detect porosity, cracks, inclusions, and misalignment without cutting the component, enabling faster decisions and traceability.

100% inspection for safety-critical parts

Inline inspection for high-volume manufacturing

EV components require deeper internal validation

Digital records & traceability for audits

What Automotive QA Teams Struggle With

High production volumes

Need high throughput inspection

Complex cast geometries

Require multi-angle imaging

EV batteries & electronics

Need micro-defect detection

Cost of scrap & rework

Early detection saves cost

Audit & traceability

Compliance-ready reporting

Inspect Faster. Reduce Scrap.
Deliver Safer Vehicles.

MQS helps OEMs and suppliers validate internal quality of castings and assemblies — at production speeds.

From engine blocks and alloy wheels to EV battery housings and brake calipers — MQS digital radiography, CT, and inline inspection systems detect porosity, cracks, inclusions, and misalignment without cutting the part. Faster decisions. Full traceability. Zero-defect production.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Why Digital X-Ray & CT for Automotive

Automotive manufacturing is moving toward zero-defect production, driven by safety expectations, EV adoption, and tighter customer standards. Many modern parts — cast housings, brake components, powertrain parts, and critical sub-assemblies — can fail due to internal defects that are not visible externally.

That's why Digital Radiography (DR) and CT are increasingly used: they detect porosity, cracks, inclusions, and misalignment without cutting the component, enabling faster decisions and traceability.
