Quality + Inspection

Measure what matters. Document what was agreed.

Inspection should match the drawing, the risk, and the production requirement—not become a layer of paperwork disconnected from the part.

Approach

Inspection built into the process.

Critical dimensions are identified during quoting and programming, then supported with an inspection method appropriate to the tolerance and feature.

01 / BEFORE RUN

Drawing review

Key characteristics, ambiguous callouts, material requirements, and outside processes are clarified before production.

02 / DURING RUN

First-piece and in-process checks

Inspection frequency and gaging are selected around tool wear, process behavior, and the characteristics that carry the most risk.

03 / AT COMPLETION

Final verification

Lot inspection and documentation are provided to the agreed requirement, with reports available when specified in the quote or purchase order.

In-House Measurement

Optical, dimensional, and portable 3D inspection.

The shop can combine conventional gaging with programmable vision measurement and portable coordinate measurement.

  • Mitutoyo QV Active 202 vision system
  • Romer portable measuring arm
  • Verisurf measurement and inspection software
  • Micrometers, indicators, pin and thread gages
  • Part-specific fixtures and inspection routines as needed
Dimensional inspection equipment
Important: Left Coast Manufacturing is not currently presented as an ISO-certified shop. Customer-specific traceability, inspection reporting, and documentation requirements should be identified at RFQ so they can be quoted and built into the job correctly.

Clear Expectations

Tell us what the part needs to prove.

First-article formats, material certifications, lot traceability, sampling plans, certificates of conformance, and outside-process certifications can materially change the workflow. Calling them out with the RFQ produces a better quote and a cleaner launch.

Have a part that might fit the shop?

Send the drawing, material, quantity, and any inspection or finishing requirements. We will tell you directly whether it fits the current equipment.
