Quality Assurance
Quality is built into every step of our process, from incoming material verification to final inspection. We don't just check parts — we engineer quality into the manufacturing workflow.
ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System
Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards, ensuring consistent processes, continuous improvement, and full traceability across every production run. From order entry through shipping, every step follows documented procedures with measurable quality objectives.
Quality Control Process
Four stages of rigorous inspection ensure every part meets specification before it leaves our facility.
Incoming Material Inspection
Every batch of raw material is verified against purchase specifications before entering production.
- Material certification (mill cert) verification
- Chemical composition spot checks
- Hardness testing per ASTM standards
- Dimensional verification of bar stock and blanks
- Visual inspection for surface defects
In-Process Inspection
Operators perform real-time checks throughout machining to catch deviations before they propagate.
- First-off verification at each setup
- SPC data collection at defined intervals
- Go/no-go gauge checks for critical features
- Tool wear monitoring and replacement schedules
- Real-time machine monitoring systems
First Article Inspection (FAI)
Comprehensive dimensional inspection of the first production part per AS9102 / PPAP requirements.
- Full CMM dimensional report (ballooned drawing)
- AS9102 Form 1, 2, and 3 documentation
- Material test report correlation
- Surface finish measurement and verification
- Customer approval before production run
Final / Outgoing Inspection
Every shipment undergoes final verification to confirm all requirements are met before packaging.
- 100% CMM inspection on critical dimensions
- AQL sampling per ISO 2859-1 for production runs
- Visual inspection per workmanship standards
- Surface treatment verification (thickness, adhesion)
- Packaging verification and part protection
Inspection Equipment
Calibrated, traceable measurement tools for every inspection requirement.
Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM)
High-accuracy 3D measurement with touch-trigger and scanning probes. Our CMM delivers repeatable measurements to 0.002mm accuracy across complex geometries, contoured surfaces, and GD&T callouts. Automated programs ensure consistent results across production batches.
Surface Roughness Tester
Portable and benchtop profilometers for measuring Ra, Rz, Rt, and other surface parameters. Calibrated per ISO 4287 standards with digital output for documentation and SPC integration.
Hardness Tester
Rockwell, Vickers, and Brinell hardness testing for incoming material verification and post-heat-treatment validation. Digital readout with statistical analysis capability.
Optical Comparator
Profile projector with 10x-50x magnification for 2D profile inspection. DRO-equipped for precise edge detection and angular measurements on small features.
Pin & Thread Gauges
Complete sets of go/no-go pin gauges, thread plug and ring gauges covering UNC, UNF, metric, and NPT standards. All gauges calibrated annually with NIST traceability.
Height Gauges & Calipers
Mitutoyo digital height gauges and calipers with 0.001mm resolution. Electronic data output for direct SPC integration and automated reporting.
