Measured before shipped, documented in the box

Inspection is part of the process, not an afterthought. We measure the features that matter to your function — channel depth, flatness, port position, window parallelism — and ship the data with the parts.

Capability 05 — Metrology & Inspection

Inspection built around functional features

A dimensional report that lists everything except the feature your device depends on is noise. We agree the critical characteristics with you at drawing review, then build the measurement plan around them.

CMM & vision systems with 1 µm resolution for prismatic and 2D features.
White-light interferometry for channel depth, step height and surface roughness on transparent layers.
FAIR, PPAP-style lot reports and material certificates for regulated customers.
Transparent-part handling fixturing and probing strategies that measure plastic parts without clamping distortion.

Process route

How we run it, step by step

Measurement plan. Critical characteristics and report level agreed at drawing review — before the first chip is cut.
First article inspection. FAIR-format report on the first off-tool parts, with CMM views and data tables.
Lot sampling. AQL-based sampling or 100% inspection of agreed characteristics.
Functional checks. Leak, burst and transmission checks coordinated with the relevant process lots.
Report packaging. Dimensional report, material certificates and compliance declarations shipped in the box and by email.

Specifications

Process envelope

Typical values. Tighter limits are available after a drawing review — share the functional requirement rather than a blanket tolerance.
