Quality is planned from the drawing, not checked at the end alone.
The dimensions and features that matter to your assembly should be identified before manufacture. We discuss material, the process, inspection methods and any required records with you so the right checks can be agreed for the order.
Discuss your requirement ↗
From the first drawing to the final check.
A good result begins before the first part is made. The drawing, material, quantity and dimensions that matter to the assembly should be clear. The process below shows how an order can move through manufacture and inspection. Requirements for calibrated instruments, records or special packing should be agreed in advance.
A considered path through each order.
From requirement review to dispatch, the right checks depend on the drawing and agreed order. Tell us what your application needs so the process can be planned clearly.
- 01PLAN
Enquiry & requirement
We begin with your drawing, sample or written requirement. Confirm application, quantity, delivery expectation and the features that matter most.
- 02PLAN
Material verification
Confirm the specified material and any supplied material details before production. Ask for traceability or material documents if your order requires them.
- 03MAKE & MEASURE
Manufacturing & press work
Review the agreed process for the part, including press work or fabrication where appropriate. Our actual 60-ton power press is shown here.
- 04MAKE & MEASURE
Dimensional inspection
Identify the drawing dimensions and functional features that need checking. The inspection plan depends on the component and agreed acceptance criteria.
- 05MAKE & MEASURE
Vernier & micrometer checks
Vernier calipers or micrometers can be discussed for suitable dimensions. Confirm the instrument and any required measurement record before the job.
- 06VERIFY
Calibration & quality verification
If calibrated instruments or calibration records are required, specify this in the enquiry so the method and documentation can be agreed.
- 07VERIFY
Final inspection
Review completed parts against the agreed drawing, quantity and visible condition. Confirm customer-specific acceptance points before the order moves to packing.
- 08VERIFY
Weighing & quantity check
Where appropriate, confirm the packed count or weight against the agreed order. Tell us if your dispatch documents need a specific weight or quantity record.
- 09COMPLETE
Packing
Agree how parts should be identified, protected and packed, especially if surfaces or dimensions need extra care during handling.
- 10COMPLETE
Dispatch
Confirm the destination, shipment details and any documents required with the order before dispatch.
Define what needs to be checked.
A clear drawing helps identify the dimensions and features that matter to your assembly. Tell us if you need a particular measuring method, calibrated instrument, inspection record or acceptance limit. We can discuss the appropriate checks before confirming the job.
- Share the latest drawing revision and critical dimensions.
- Specify the material and finish required, where known.
- Include any inspection or documentation requirements.
- Confirm the requirement with the works before placing an order.
Finish the job with the same care.
Final acceptance, packing method and dispatch details should match the agreed order. Share handling or identification requirements early, especially for parts with sensitive surfaces or dimensions.
