Temperature-Controlled Environment:
Inspection of critical tolerances requires a stable work area; our quality control department is temperature and humidity controlled to +/- 2 degrees.
Dedicated Gage Inventory:
We have over 3,000 dedicated gages in house. Everything from Go / No Go plug gages, thread rings, and thread plugs to an extensive selection of minus gage pins. If we do not have a gage to fit the specifications of your part we will be happy to purchase it. All of our gaging and in-house measuring tools are calibrated at set intervals to comply with our ISO certification.
Statistical Process Control:
We have five shop-floor SPC stations fully loaded with Mitutoyo inspection equipment. In process inspections are managed and dimensions are recorded throughout the production run. All of the dimensions are saved on our QC server and are available to the customer at their request. Special inspections are completed on first-time runs and revision changes at the customer’s request.
CMM Inspection:
The crown jewel of our inspection department is our Zeiss Contura G2 coordinate measuring machine. This active scanning programmable CMM runs off of a powerful Calypso user desk software package. With the ability to import CAD files we can use the same design file from the prototype stage to the final inspection of the production run. This ensures absolute adherence to your design requirements and the highest quality through all stages of manufacturing.
Visual Inspection:
With the addition of the Keyence IM-6500 Image Dimension Measuring System we are able to significantly reduce inspection time without sacrificing quality or accuracy. We can now accurately inspect up to 100 dimensions on multiple parts in seconds, helping us toward our goal of 100% accuracy while also increasing inspection throughput. The shop floor also utilizes Starrett optical comparators with edge sensing technology and geometric digital readouts to verify accuracy through all stages of production.
