CMM Inspection
For complex geometry, positional relationships and critical dimensional verification.
Quality & Inspection
Inspection requirements are reviewed together with the drawing before production, helping ensure critical dimensions, tolerances and documentation are controlled throughout the manufacturing process.
Requirement control sequence
Quality planning
Quality control begins with understanding the drawing - not only measuring the finished part. Before production, we review critical dimensions, tolerances, material requirements, surface specifications and inspection expectations.
Dimensions, tolerances, GD&T and drawing notes are reviewed before production.
Critical dimensions and functional features are identified for focused process and inspection control.
Measurement methods and reporting requirements are considered according to the drawing and project needs.
Potential ambiguities or manufacturing concerns are raised before production whenever possible.
Process control
Inspection activities can be planned across different stages of production according to the drawing, tolerance requirements and project needs.
Material specifications and supporting certificates are checked when required.
Key dimensions can be monitored during machining to reduce the risk of late-stage nonconformance.
Finished parts are inspected against applicable drawing and project requirements.
Inspection records and supporting quality documents can be prepared according to project requirements.
Parts proceed to packing and shipment after the required inspection activities are completed.
Measurement
Measurement methods are selected according to part geometry, tolerances and the features that need to be verified.
For complex geometry, positional relationships and critical dimensional verification.
For suitable profiles, small features and non-contact dimensional inspection.
For common dimensional, height, diameter and geometric checks.
For applicable surface roughness, threaded features and related drawing requirements.
Critical features
Not every dimension carries the same functional risk. For tight-tolerance and fit-critical components, inspection effort can be focused on the features that matter most to assembly and performance.
Quality documentation
Inspection and material documentation can be prepared according to the requirements agreed for the project.
Documentation availability depends on the material, process and project requirements and should be confirmed during quotation.
Repeatability
Quality control does not end with the first accepted batch. For repeat production, confirmed requirements and inspection expectations can be carried forward to support more consistent manufacturing and verification.
Key drawing and project requirements provide the basis for repeat production.
Relevant inspection information can support comparison and verification across production batches.
Project identification and applicable manufacturing records can support traceability where required.
When a quality issue is identified, the cause and required corrective actions can be reviewed before subsequent production.
Project review
Send us your drawing together with the dimensions, tolerances or inspection requirements that matter most to your application. We can review them before quotation and production.
NDA available before drawing review.
