Optimizing accuracy from the start
Accurate final testing depends entirely on the component's initial state. Our specialized preparation eliminates surface imperfections and dimensional distortions early in the cycle, directly reducing costly rework and ensuring every part meets strict cleanliness standards before NDT begins.
Proper surface and dimensional preparation ensures each part enters inspection free of contaminants or distortions, delivering more accurate, reliable testing results the first time. This initial preparation is critical, as imperfections can compromise the validity of sensitive NDT processes.
By eliminating surface imperfections early, manufacturers avoid costly inspection failures and keep critical components moving seamlessly through the production cycle. Addressing readiness issues upstream is the most efficient way to maintain production schedules and avoid unnecessary downtime.
Our certified pre-inspection processes align with OEM and NADCAP specifications, ensuring every part meets readiness and cleanliness standards before inspection. Adherence to these strict standards validates material control for aerospace certification and auditing.
