Inspection and Quality Assurance

Two programmable Brown & Sharpe CMMs, a Mitsubishi optical comparator, and a calibrated gage library sit on the shop floor. Every print dimension is verified, and every job can ship with a report your quality department can file without re-inspecting.

Metrology equipment

  • Brown & Sharpe Gage 2000 CMM
  • Brown & Sharpe Gage ONE CMM
  • Mitsubishi optical comparator
  • Calibrated micrometers, thread gages, bore gages, height gages, surface roughness tester

Inspection services

  • First-article inspection (FAI) with ballooned drawings
  • In-process inspection and SPC on production runs
  • Final inspection and CMM dimensional reports
  • Material certification and traceable heat lots
  • Certificate of conformance on every shipment

Quality system

An ISO 9001:2015-aligned quality management system with documented corrective action and nonconformance control. Gage calibration follows an ISO/IEC 17025-aligned schedule; CMMs are verified against NIST-traceable artifacts.

What ships with the parts

Ask for any combination: CMM report, FAI, material certs, outside-process certs (heat treat, plating, passivation), and C of C. Federal buyers get packaging and marking per the solicitation.

Inspection & Quality FAQ

Are you ISO 9001 certified?

The quality system is built and run to ISO 9001:2015; formal registration status is stated on request in every quote so there is no ambiguity.

Can you do first-article inspection to AS9102 format?

Yes. FAI reports are produced with ballooned prints and characteristic-by-characteristic results.

Do you provide material certs?

Yes. Mill certs and heat lot traceability are maintained on every job and ship with the parts on request.

Can you inspect customer-supplied parts?

Yes. CMM inspection of outside parts is quoted as a standalone service.
