Inspection Across Industries

Our inspection capabilities support industries where precision, reliability, and consistency are essential.

Inspection & Quality Assurance

Our inspection workflow integrates CMM, height gauges, and optical systems to verify dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and full compliance with your engineering drawings. We apply this quality control standard from the first article inspection through every stage of production. Critical dimensions and inspection results are documented throughout the process to ensure full traceability and consistent quality from the first cut to the final packaging audit before shipment.
Inspection Item Description
Incoming Material Verification Confirm raw materials, supplier certificates, and initial part conditions meet project specifications before production begins.
First Article & In-Process Full inspection on the initial production part, followed by routine checks during ongoing machining.
Dimensional & GD&T CMM, height gauges, and calipers verify critical tolerances, geometric features, and alignment.
Visual & Surface Inspect for scratches, burrs, tool marks, and verify coating or surface finish consistency.
Inspection Reporting Provide detailed FAIR (First Article Inspection Reports), CMM data sheets, or PPAP documentation upon request.
Final Audit & Packaging Final verification of part cleanliness, correct labeling, accurate quantity, and protective packaging before delivery.
