NON-CONTACT
2D Vision Measurement
Optical profile measurement for edge form, tapers, step lengths and small features that are awkward to reach with a contact probe.
QUALITY & INSPECTION
Inspection Evidence, Measured on the Parts We Ship
Dimensional accuracy and inner bore finish decide how long a thermal spray component survives in production. We measure both in-house, record the results per batch, and release parts only after they pass.

INSPECTION EQUIPMENT
Four Measurement Routes Behind Every Batch
Profile features, full three-dimensional geometry, fast shop-floor checks and surface finish each go to a dedicated station rather than one generic end-of-line glance.
CONTACT, 3D
CMM (3D) Verification
Coordinate measurement of bore position, concentricity and the spatial relationship between faces, checked against the released drawing.
SHOP FLOOR
Instant / Quick Measurement
Flash measurement at the machine gives immediate feedback during machining, so a drift is corrected while the part is still in the fixture.
SURFACE FINISH
Surface Roughness Testing
Roughness measurement of internal and external surfaces, because a coarse bore surface collects powder and shortens service life.
KEY INSPECTION ITEMS
Measured Against the Drawing, Not Against an Impression
Every critical feature on a machined thermal spray component has a nominal, a tolerance and a measurement method. These are the items we control and record.
- Bore diameter, roundness and straightness
- Taper and seat geometry where the part mates
- Step lengths, shoulders and thread form
- Inner bore surface roughness after finishing
- Burrs, tool marks and internal cleanliness
RELEASED VALUES
≤ 0.01 mm
Dimensional accuracy
Tolerance held on the critical geometry of the parts we machine.
Ra ≤ 0.1 μm
Inner bore roughness
Finish on the internal surfaces that guide powder and gas.
IN-PROCESS INSPECTION
Checks That Happen While the Part Is Still in the Machine
Finding a drift after the part is finished is too late. In-process checks sit at the points where a setup change or a tool change can move a dimension.
01
First-Piece Check
The first part after a setup or tool change is measured in full before the run continues.
02
Dimensional Check During the Run
Scheduled checks across the batch confirm the process has not drifted away from nominal.
03
Finish Monitoring
Bore finish is measured during finishing rather than assumed from the tool path.
04
Cleaning Before Release
Parts are deburred and cleaned before they move on to final inspection.
FINAL INSPECTION & RELEASE
Nothing Leaves the Bay Without a Release Decision
Final inspection combines the record kept during the run with a fresh measurement of the released features on the finished part.
- Critical dimensions re-measured on the finished part, not only in process
- Bore roughness verified against the released value
- Visual check for burrs, handling marks and internal contamination
- Inspection record completed and attached to the batch
A part that does not pass is not packed and not shipped.
NON-CONFORMING PARTS
What Happens When a Part Fails Inspection
A failed measurement is information about the process. Each non-conforming part is identified, evaluated and closed out before the run resumes.
01
Identify & Segregate
The part is marked, set aside from conforming production and recorded together with the feature that failed.
02
Evaluate & Decide
Re-measurement confirms the result; the part is then reworked, replaced or scrapped by decision, never by default.
03
Correct & Verify
The cause is corrected at the machine and the next part is measured to confirm the correction held.
TESTING & RELEASE CRITERIA
The Table That Decides Release
Each row names a check and the condition that has to be met before a batch is released for packing. Measured values are quoted against the released drawing.
The two released values are the figures we publish. The remaining rows are verified against the drawing and closed out in the batch record.

Measurement stations rather than studio shots: the instrument, the setup and the record that accompany a released batch.
INSPECTION RECORDS
Ask for the Inspection Record With Your Quotation
Send the drawing or part number you need matched. We will confirm the critical features, the measurement method behind them, and the release criteria that will apply to your batch.
