Tolerance Guide
The inspection plan should follow the component’s function. For example, a threaded core may require pitch, runout, concentricity, surface finish, and hardness checks, while a cavity insert may require profile, shut-off, flatness, position, and polishing verification.
Component‑Focused Inspection Workflow
- Conduct critical‑feature review and material‑hardness verification before machining.
- Carry out datum‑based in‑process inspection for complex and rotational parts.
- Verify surface finish and deliver required first‑article or full‑dimensional reports.
- Apply controlled packaging to protect precision and polished surfaces.
