Quality Control

Documented Lots, Quality Control From First Piece

As a sensor housing manufacturer working under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system, we deburr and clean port bores and sealing faces before packing. Leak testing is offered within assembly and testing, with the method specified on your drawing or agreed at quote. The same lot controls apply to pressure-sensor housings machined for an automotive tier-1 supplier.

CMM inspection of a machined aluminium part
  • 01

    Incoming material

    Every bar and billet is checked against its mill certificate and the grade and heat number on your drawing, giving full traceability from raw material to finished housing.

  • 02

    First article inspection

    One sample housing is cut and every dimension measured on the CMM against your print. You receive the measurement report, and the lot starts cutting only after you approve that sample.

  • 03

    In-process SPC

    During the run, operators pull samples to an AQL plan and check bores, threads and port features, so a wandering tool offset is corrected before the lot is finished.

  • 04

    Final inspection

    Each housing in the lot is measured and visually inspected, with bores and threads gauged. Cleaned parts leave in VCI film or trays alongside the material certificate and inspection record.

Ask a Question
  • Which CAD files do you accept for a housing quote?

    Ideal is a 3D model in STEP or IGES alongside a PDF or DWG drawing carrying GD&T. SolidWorks and ProE files work too, as does any format that opens in AutoCAD, ProE or SolidWorks.

  • Is my design protected when I share files?

    An NDA is available on request, before quoting or ordering. Uploads are secure and confidential, and drawings are reviewed only by our engineering team.

  • What tolerances can you hold on housings?

    Diameters hold ±0.005 mm when ground and ±0.01 mm when turned. Ra 1.6 µm is standard, and sealing faces can be finished to Ra 0.4 µm on request. Callout guide: ground vs turned tolerances.

  • Which materials do you machine for sensor housings?

    A stainless steel sensor housing is usually 303, 304, 316L or 17-4PH. We also machine aluminium, brass, titanium, steel and engineering plastics. Stainless 303, 304 and 316L can be passivated.

  • Can I order one piece, and how fast is delivery?

    Sensor housing machining starts at one piece. Prototypes take 3 days on the fast track or 2–3 weeks typically. Production lots typically take 4–6 weeks, with batches from 100 to 100,000+ pieces.

  • What documents ship with each lot?

    A material certificate and inspection record ship with every lot, and the first-article measurement report reaches you before production starts. FAI and PPAP packages are available on request. See what a first-article inspection report contains.
