Inspection & Verification:
Proof of Quality Fabrication

Trust is important—but data is essential. We use Leica AT960 + Absolute Scanner AS1‑XL, FARO laser projectors, Niton XRF, and Servo‑Robot WiKi‑Scan to deliver auditable evidence that every component meets your specifications—via in‑process checks and pre‑shipment verification.
In complex, regulated projects, a certificate of conformance isn’t enough. Our Objective Quality Evidence (OQE) dossier provides an audit‑ready record that supports your compliance systems, reduces risk, and protects your business.

Why OQE Matters for OEMs

Every fabricated component we deliver becomes a part of your final product and your brand. A failure in the field can impact reputation and increase Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) through rework, project delays, and warranty claims. Our OQE process provides verifiable proof of compliance, protecting your brand and your bottom line.

Advanced Verification Technologies & Processes

Each tool contributes a vital dataset to your project’s Quality Dossier.

Positive Material Identification (PMI): Verifying Material Certainty

  • Process: 100% PMI on incoming stainless and critical alloys; finished‑good PMI as specified in your project’s Inspection & Test Plan (ITP).
  • Technology: Niton XRF verifies elemental composition. Note: XRF does not detect carbon; for distinctions such as 316 vs 316L, we correlate PMI with certified chemistry on the MTR (or use OES where required).
  • OEM benefit: Certified material certainty supporting FSMA/HARPC traceability and mitigating long‑term corrosion risk in wastewater applications.

Laser Projector Layouts (FARO): Error‑Proofing Assembly

  • Process: CAD‑based laser outlines are projected onto the work surface to guide exact placement of brackets, nozzles, and stiffeners.
  • Technology: Manufacturer‑rated projection accuracy ≈ 0.25 mm at ~4.6–4.7 m (2 RMS), application‑dependent.
  • OEM benefit: Reduces assembly variability in high‑mix builds, promoting consistent quality from first unit to last.

3D Model‑Based Inspection: From the Largest Scale to the Smallest Detail

This extends our Model‑Based Planning process, maintaining digital continuity from design to verification.

  • Process: Full 3D scans are compared to the nominal CAD model to verify dimensional accuracy and assembly completeness.
  • Technology: Leica Absolute Tracker AT960 + AS1‑XL for large‑volume metrology (manufacturer‑rated precision on the order of ~150 µm over a ~160 m diameter volume, setup‑dependent); twyn AR overlays CAD on the physical assembly for completeness checks.
  • OEM benefit: De‑risks on‑site fit‑up and provides digital proof that every specified component is correctly installed.

3D Model‑Based Inspection: From the Largest Scale to the Smallest Detail

  • Process: Non‑contact 3D scans capture fillet size, leg length, throat, undercut, and toe angle.
  • Technology: Measurements are compared to acceptance criteria (e.g., AWS/ASME) to generate a digital pass/fail result.
  • OEM benefit: Replaces subjective checks with quantitative, archivable data—supporting sanitary cleanability in food processing and structural reliability in wastewater equipment.

Our Commitment to Measurement Integrity

All equipment follows a strict calibration schedule traceable to NIST and/or ISO/IEC 17025. We conduct periodic MSA/Gage R&R in a controlled environment to ensure the data we deliver is consistently reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every received piece is uniquely tagged to its MTR. We apply 100% PMI on stainless and critical alloys to verify heat chemistry; that traceability follows the job and is documented in your Dossier.

PDF reports; point cloud (.e57, .pts, .ptx); mesh (.stl, .obj); CAD (.step); and tabular (.csv, .xlsx). Native PolyWorks files available upon request.

The OQE Dossier provides objective, traceable records aligned with ISO 9001 practices and code‑based acceptance criteria (AWS/ASME), supporting reviews by customers and regulators (e.g., FDA, EPA).
