State‑of‑the‑Art Inspection Equipment
- Rockwell Hardness Tester: Checks material strength and durability
- Mitutoyo Toolmakers Microscopes: Precisely measures small features
- Smart Scopes®: Captures 3D profiles without touching the part
- Digital Force Gauge: Tests how much force parts can handle
- Durometer: Measures hardness on soft and semi‑rigid plastics
- T/O Melt Flow Indexer: Verifies raw‑material flow and consistency
- Barcode Traceability: Links every component to its production batch and inspection record
Rigorous Inspection Processes
- Incoming Material Checks: We test every resin and metal insert for flow properties and hardness before molding begins.
- First Article Layout Inspections (FALIs): Before full production, we scan sample parts against your CAD data to lock in critical dimensions.
- In‑Process Monitoring: Our system records pressure, temperature, cycle times and other key parameters as parts are made, so we can spot any issues right away.
- Final Part Inspection: Finished components go through manual and automated checks to confirm they match your specifications.
