The Real Challenge of Magnet Sourcing: Preventing Non-Conformities at the Source

Quality Control ODB Magneti

When sourcing technical and precision components, attention to detail is essential. One of the biggest risks in supply chain management is discovering a non-conformity after the goods have already arrived at their destination.

A magnet with incorrect tolerances or lower-than-expected performance is not simply a logistics issue. It can lead to production delays and disrupt an entire manufacturing process.

How can this be avoided? The key is not managing the problem once it occurs but preventing it from happening in the first place.

The Hidden Cost of Late Non-Conformities

When a defective batch reaches a European warehouse, the operational damage has already been done. Transit time has been wasted, shipping costs have been incurred unnecessarily, and the risk of delaying customer deliveries becomes very real.

In a fast-moving market, relying solely on supplier documentation is often not enough to guarantee business continuity and consistent product quality.

ODB Magneti's Quality Strategy: Scalable AQL Inspection

At ODB Magneti, we do not leave quality to chance. We have developed a proactive quality control system designed to ensure that defective products never reach our warehouse or our customers' production lines.

Our approach is based on three key principles:

Direct Inspections at Source

Quality inspections are carried out before shipment, directly at the manufacturing facilities. If a batch of magnets does not fully meet the required specifications, it simply does not leave the factory.

Scalable AQL Inspection Levels

We do not apply a static inspection process. Our quality system is based on scalable AQL (Acceptable Quality Limit) plans. Whenever the slightest quality deviation is detected, inspection levels are immediately increased, allowing us to focus more closely on any potential issue before shipment.

Technical and Instrumental Verification

Our inspections go far beyond visual checks. We verify dimensional tolerances, coercivity, coating integrity, and magnetic orientation using dedicated measuring equipment, ensuring full compliance with the required engineering specifications.

A Protective Barrier for Your Production

This methodical approach allows us to create an effective quality filter. Potential issues are identified and resolved thousands of kilometres away, before they can impact our customers' operations.

Choosing ODB Magneti means receiving components that are fully compliant and ready to be integrated into your products without unexpected issues or costly delays.

Because true quality is not checked at the end of the supply chain—it is built and protected from the very beginning.

Plastic Bonded: the new section dedicated to plastic bonded magnets is now online

Plastic Bonded: the new section dedicated to plastic bonded magnets is now online

As many customers already know, ODB is currently the only company in Italy able to offer a 100% Made in Italy production of Plastic Bonded magnets for injection molded and overmolded technologies, subject to technical and production feasibility requirements.

For this reason, we decided to completely update and expand our section dedicated to plastic bonded magnets, with the goal of creating a more technical, clear and comprehensive area focused on the different bonded technologies.

In the magnetic industry, strongly connected to the Asian supply chain, we believe it is important to promote Made in Italy manufacturing solutions capable of ensuring greater technical control, production continuity, quality and application support.

Thanks to advanced production technologies and more than 30 years of experience in the industrial magnet sector, we aim to provide customers not only with a magnetic component, but also with concrete technical support in selecting the most suitable solution for their application.

The three available technologies

The new website area is now divided into three main categories:

Injection molded magnets – Made in Italy

Ideal for high-volume production, complex geometries and direct integration with technical plastic components.

Overmolded magnets – Made in Italy

A technology that allows the magnet to be integrated directly into the final plastic component, simplifying assembly processes and product management.

Compression bonded magnets

A solution designed for applications requiring higher magnetic performance while maintaining the advantages of bonded technology.

Where are they used?

Plastic Bonded magnets are mainly used in highly technical sectors such as:

  • automotive
  • electronics and electrical engineering
  • sensors and encoders
  • industrial automation
  • robotics and mechatronics
  • electric motors and micromotors
  • pumps, valves and electromechanical systems

Why are bonded magnets becoming increasingly interesting?

Compared to traditional magnets, Plastic Bonded solutions often offer:

  • greater design freedom
  • lighter components
  • functional integration
  • improved assembly automation
  • reduction of secondary machining operations
