Inspection and Quality Controls
Inspection planning for actuator components where fit, finish, runout, bore quality, and mounting accuracy affect assembly performance.
Best Fit For:Best for quality and procurement teams that need clear acceptance expectations before approving a new supplier.
Capability Highlights
- Critical-to-quality review before production
- In-process and outgoing inspection planning
- Documentation expectations aligned during RFQ
Typical Engagement Scope
- Actuator housings with critical bores
- Precision shafts and rods
- Mounting brackets and flanges
- Multi-part actuator component packages
Execution Focus
- Inspection method, gauge availability, and reporting scope
- Critical dimensions, runout, flatness, thread checks, and surface finish
- Control of revisions and nonconforming findings
Program Evaluation Matrix
| Program Metric | Typical Range | Procurement Value |
|---|---|---|
| CTQ coverage | 100% on critical features | Inspection should focus on the characteristics that matter to actuator assembly and service. |
| CMM measurement capability | ±0.003 mm repeatability | Features tighter than ±0.02 mm require CMM verification. Caliper checks alone cannot reliably confirm GD&T requirements like true position or concentricity. |
Risk and Mitigation
- Inspection mismatch: Agree inspection method and reporting scope before sample approval.
- Gauge R&R exceeding 10% of tolerance band: Verify measurement system capability before production. If gauge variation exceeds 10% of the part tolerance, upgrade to CMM or optical measurement.

Buyer FAQ
Can inspection reports be included?
Yes, if the required inspection scope is included in the RFQ and agreed before production.
Do you provide CMM reports with every shipment?
CMM reports are included for all critical features flagged in the drawing. Standard shipments include a dimensional inspection summary; full CMM data is available on request.
