Inspection is a critical part of our service. As well as each machine center being equipped with online CAD stations and measuring gauges we also operate a dedicated inspection department with two full time quality control engineers. As a company with a long term proven track record within the aerospace and defence industries we understand what quality means to our customers.
The inspection department is headed by Ray Bennet who has been with Aerocomponents since 1990. The inspection department is equipped with CMM equipment, profile projectors, toolmakers microscopes, hardness testers and a range of gauges & general measurement equipment, full list here. Depending on the type of contract, most components will pass through the inspection department which is connected to our production management system and CAD/CAM department where it will be inspected and signed for. We offer full certificates of conformity and batch traceability.
Inspection is carried out at every level. Machine operatives are responsible for the quality of their work and are fully equipped to undertake inspection as and when required. This procedure not only identifies program errors but also tool wear and machine inaccuracies.
One of the most critical components of our production facility are our machines. These are regularly inspected for tool wear as well as bearing and zeroing errors. Because we standardise on the Hurco machine centers we are able to take machines off line for inspection and repair as and when without any loss of production time.
