QUALITY / INSPECTION

Stable quality, from first article to repeat order

ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified. Every order is checked at the first part, during the run and before packing.

On runs of 10,000+ pcs, we work out the process to the second, so the last batch runs like the first.

HOW WE INSPECT

How every order is inspected

  1. 01

    Material in

    Bar stock arrives with the steel mill’s material certificate, which we can send with your parts.

    Bar stock in the workshop
  2. 02

    First article

    Every order starts with a first-article check of every dimension on the drawing before the batch runs.

  3. 03

    In-process checks

    Every 30 minutes while a part is new; every hour or every half day once repeat orders prove the process stable.

  4. 04

    Final inspection

    AQL sampling, or 100% inspection where the drawing or your requirements call for it. For parts with cosmetic requirements, we run trial batches at the finishing supplier before production.

    Rejects held apart

    Accepted and rejected parts carry separate tags, so a rejected part cannot reach the packing table.

BUYER QUESTIONS

Questions about quality and inspection

What tolerance can you hold?

We work to the tolerances on your drawing, and to ISO 2768-mK for untoleranced dimensions unless the drawing states another standard. On Swiss-type parts we hold down to 0.005 mm. Mark critical tolerances and datums so we can plan how they are measured.

Can you supply inspection reports?

Yes. Dimensional, first-article and CMM reports are available on request. State the format, features and sample quantity in your inquiry.

Do you inspect every part?

Final inspection uses AQL sampling by default. Where the drawing or your requirements call for it, we inspect 100% of parts. State which in your inquiry.

What happens if parts are out of specification?

We replace or refund parts that do not meet the agreed drawing and inspection criteria at no charge, and we pay the freight both ways. Tell us within 30 days of delivery, with photos or measurements and the batch number.

How should I specify traceability?

State which material, treatment and inspection documents you need and how they link to the part number, revision and batch. We agree them in the quotation.
