Industry-Managed Certifications for Aerospace
AS9100D Certified
Our entire Quality Management System (QMS) is certified to the AS9100D standard, ensuring a robust framework for process control, risk management, and traceability throughout our entire organization.
NADCAP Accredited
We hold prestigious NADCAP (National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) accreditations for our special processes, including Heat Treating and Nonconventional Machining. This accreditation is a testament to our technical excellence and procedural discipline.
Advanced Metrology & Inspection
Verifying the precision of your components requires a significant investment in advanced metrology equipment. Our climate-controlled quality lab is equipped with state-of-the-art inspection technology, from Zeiss CMMs for complex 3D measurements to optical comparators and laser micrometers for non-contact gauging. This in-house capability allows us to validate every critical feature and deliver a component that is verifiably compliant with your specifications.
ZEISS Contura G2 Scanning CMM
Our flagship Coordinate Measuring Machine, the Zeiss Contura G2, automates the measurement of complex 3D components. With its high-speed scanning head and Calypso CAD software, it can quickly and accurately verify geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) against your solid model, ensuring every critical feature is in perfect compliance.
- Working Range 30 x 40 x 20
- Glass scales with 8 millionths resolution, 2-micron accuracy (80 millionths)
- Articulating RD Probe receiver with 6-station probe changer
- Calypso CAD software
ZEISS/TSK Rondcom 60A Roundness Measuring Machine
Essential for high-performance rotating components, our Zeiss Rondcom machine measures roundness, cylindricity, and other form errors with millionths-of-an-inch accuracy. This capability is critical for verifying the precision of shafts, bearings, and other components where form is vital to function and longevity.
- Programmable 16″Dia. x 27″ Length Capacity
- 2 Millionths Roundness Accuracy
- Auto Tilt/Alignment
Pratt & Whitney Super Mic
This instrument serves as one of our primary in-house calibration standards. The Pratt & Whitney Super Mic provides absolute, direct-line measurement to ensure the gages and instruments used on our shop floor are calibrated to the highest degree of accuracy, guaranteeing measurement consistency across our entire operation.
- Bench Model 20 Millionths Digital Display/Resolution
- Used for gage calibration
Mahr Marsurf LD130
This advanced system allows us to precisely measure both the surface roughness and the contour profile of a component in a single pass. These parameters are critical for parts that require a specific texture for sealing, wear resistance, or aerodynamic performance. Its programmability ensures repeatable and accurate analysis of complex component profiles.
- Programmable surface roughness and contour machine
- Up to 130mm measurement length.
Optical Gaging Smart Scope Video Measuring System
The Smart Scope system provides automated, high-magnification, non-contact measurement. It is ideal for rapidly inspecting small, flexible, or complex components where traditional touch-probes are impractical. This technology allows us to verify critical edge profiles, hole diameters, and other fine features with exceptional accuracy.
- Programmable/Auto Inspect with 320 X Magnification
- 10 x 6 x 6 Travel Heidenhein Glass Scales with 10 millionths resolution
Omega TMM Exactus Lite Tool Presetter
A critical part of our process control, this tool presetter allows us to precisely measure our cutting tools offline. By setting and verifying tool geometries before they are loaded into a CNC machine, we significantly reduce setup times and eliminate the potential for error, ensuring the first part we machine is a perfect part.
