Equipment & inspection

The machines we use and how we inspect parts.

This page will list key machines, their working ranges, the jobs they handle and the measuring tools used before shipment.

Key machines

Production equipment

Each final card will use an on-site photograph and data copied from the machine plate—not a manufacturer brochure.

Explain the part families this machine actually handles, rather than calling it “advanced”.

State travel, spindle, workholding and when a job needs a partner or should be declined.

An older machine can appear if it still performs real work and its condition is understood.

Show calibration, storage and use—not simply a row of instruments in a case.

Inspection flow

The shop does not need to imitate a complex quality department. It does need real checks, clear ownership and records appropriate to the order.

Confirm material, revision, critical dimensions and special notes.

Verify critical dimensions before continuing the batch.

Set a sensible frequency around the main risks.

Reconcile dimensions, appearance, quantity, labels and documents.

Experience into records

Years of experience often appear in short comments: “this will be difficult to hold” or “this wall may move”.
