Our Surface Finish Inspection Services

Comprehensive inspection and quality assurance solutions integrated across our full manufacturing workflow for consistent, traceable results.

Dimensional Inspection

Precise dimensional verification using Starrett CMMs to confirm part geometry, tolerances, and features against customer drawings and specifications for complete quality assurance.

Optical Measurement

Non-contact surface and feature measurement using Keyence portable and optical systems, enabling fast, accurate inspection of complex profiles and fine surface details.

Full Inspection Reporting

Detailed, traceable inspection reports delivered to customer specifications, providing documented evidence of quality, consistency, and compliance for every production run.

In-Process Inspection

Quality checks integrated throughout fabrication—cutting, forming, machining, and finishing—to detect deviations early and maintain dimensional accuracy from first article to final part.

Surface Preparation Verification

Post-media-blasting and pre-coating surface condition assessment to confirm cleanliness, profile, and readiness prior to powder coating or final assembly operations.

First Article Inspection

Thorough first article inspection (FAI) for new or revised parts, ensuring that initial production output fully conforms to design intent before committing to full volume manufacturing.
