Quality Assurance
Our certified QA team is the backbone of our production and is involved throughout every step of the process.
Whether it’s first article or final inspection, our dedicated inspectors work with machinists to ensure that all parts meet design specifications and engineering tolerances, and that all parts are delivered on-time.
We utilize 2 CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machines), a Zeiss Contura G2 and a Zeiss DuraMax to actively scan and probe touch points to accurately measure the geometry of each part we machine.
ITAR and AS9100D certifications.
