Built-In Quality: Precision Inspection at Every Stage
At FT Precision, quality is built into every step of our manufacturing process. We utilize a full suite of advanced inspection and testing equipment to ensure every part meets exacting standards. This includes precision Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) for dimensional accuracy, roughness testers and contracer's for surface finish and contour validation, and 3D scanners for detailed geometric analysis.
Our quality labs are also equipped with crush testing equipment to verify structural integrity, X-ray systems for internal defect detection, and Spectro analyzers to confirm material composition. By combining these technologies, we maintain a rigorous quality control system that ensures every component we produce is reliable, consistent, and built to perform.
Real-Time Quality Assurance with In-Line CMMs
At FT Precision, we prioritize both precision and efficiency by placing Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) directly on the production floor. This strategic layout allows our operators immediate access to high precision measuring tools, enabling real-time part verification and faster quality feedback. By integrating CMMs into the manufacturing environment, we streamline inspection processes, reduce downtime, and ensure every component meets exacting specifications from the start. This hands-on approach reinforces our commitment to quality at every stage of production.
Flexible Inspection Solutions for Complex Components
FT Precision is equipped with multiple lab-based Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) in a range of sizes, providing the flexibility to accurately measure parts of all shapes and dimensions — from the smallest precision components to large, complex castings. Housed in controlled environments, our metrology labs ensure consistent accuracy and repeatability, no matter the part size.
This versatility allows our quality teams to support a wide variety of customer requirements while maintaining the highest standards of dimensional validation across all programs.
Advanced 3D Analysis for Rapid, Precise Validation
FT Precision leverages advanced 3D scanning technology to perform detailed dimensional analysis across a wide range of components. Our high-resolution scanners capture millions of data points to create accurate digital models, allowing for precise comparison to CAD files and faster identification of deviations. This 3D analysis capability enhances our ability to troubleshoot, validate complex geometries, and support rapid prototyping or first article inspections with unmatched speed and accuracy. By integrating this cutting-edge technology into our quality processes, we ensure every part meets exact design intent.
Advanced X-Ray Inspection
Our X-ray inspection process safeguards structural integrity to meet the strictest quality standards.
At FT Precision, we employ state-of-the-art X-ray machines to inspect our castings for internal defects, such as porosity, to ensure the highest level of quality. By using X-ray technology, we can detect even the smallest air pockets or voids that may compromise the integrity of a part. This non-destructive testing allows us to inspect the internal structure of our components without damaging them, enabling us to achieve near-zero porosity levels. By identifying and addressing potential issues early in the production process, we maintain our commitment to delivering parts that meet the most stringent performance and reliability standards.
