INSPECTION AND QUALITY

  • Fully integrated Windows-based software system assures accurate verifiable part tracking.
  • Efficient packaging and inventory assures that you receive your parts when you need them.
  • Our #1 goal is part consistency — not only across days and weeks, but months and years.

Our FARO Edge arm with 3D Laser Line Probe, a portable coordinate measuring machine, is used for inspection, quality assurance, and reverse engineering. We utilize this tool for CAD-based inspection to ensure that parts and assemblies conform to CAD model specifications. We also use it for incoming, first article, in-process, and final inspection when required.

DELIVERY

There’s more to delivery than just our great trucks. Our state-of-the-art software tracking system can handle multiple release dates while tracking production and delivery. What this means for you is that we keep as tight a rein on our delivery schedules as we do on our production standards.

If it doesn’t get to you when you need it, then it doesn’t matter how good it is.
