Quality and Reliability    
     

We pride ourselves on developing lean reliable processes. All new projects are approached using a team concept that involves quality, project and programming engineers. The teams works together using advanced quality planning methods and zero defect concepts to insure that the process we are designing for you has an initial process capability of at least 1.67 Ppk and maintains long term capability of at least 1.33 Cpk.
 
Our contract review board approves and audits all final plans guaranteeing that our production team has a complete and total understanding of all customer requirements and that all necessary information is included into one comprehensive plan that details the exact steps of how quality will be verified throughout each step of the manufacturing process.
 
Our “visual” factory posts key metrics within each department and our quality teams utilize value stream mapping to vigorously eliminate waste and 5S tools to sustain our progress.... the result are processes that are both lean and capable. In addition our trained internal quality auditors maintain 100% document integrity of operating and work instructions as well as all other supporting documentation. Our doors are always open to new ideas. We welcome the opportunity for any of our valued customers to help challenge us to further reduce waste and costs and improve our overall quality.
 
Our innovative engineering, lean processing and technologically advanced equipment are the three best weapons we have to insure that we stay competitive in the global marketplace.

 
   
 

Our TESA 50E scanning machines are fully automatic optical-electronic projection systems designed specifically for the complete non-contact measurement of precision components. Reading intricate forms, radii, threads and angles with speeds up to 12,000 points per second affords us the ability to perform measurements with a combination of speed, flexibility and accuracy not previously possible…anywhere. With rapid inspection and set-up times, these systems can be integrated within the overall manufacturing process and are suitable for prototyping as well as 100% inspection.

Equipped with articulating Renishaw probe heads, our computerized Starrett Coordinate Measuring Machines are the latest advances in CMM technology, achieve the highest accuracy and maintain superb repeatability for measurement of the most complex multi-faceted components.
