First Article Inspection

First Article Reporting (FAR) forms the main part of the service offered by DIS. This Dimensional Analysis also forms part of Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documents.

Dimensional Inspection Services (DIS) provide inspection reporting services including:

If your company needs to verify the dimensional accuracy of a component you have manufactured against a design/drawing then this can be completed for you by DIS.

Initially all of the design drawing dimensions are ‘numbered up’. The same numbers then go onto the inspection document. All actual results are recorded against the design specification which indicates if the result is within or outside of the specification.

The inspection results can be completed/exported on a DIS excel formatted document or onto your own document – whichever suits.

If your industry standard requires 5 or 6 components to be measured for the Inspection process this can be done efficiently using CNC programming software.

Measuring/Inspection reports can be produced using 2D drawing or 3D Cad Model. The format for the Model would be either in Step or Iges.

Calibration

In our experience, we have found the calibration service is underutilised. If you have any inspection equipment such as Micrometers or Verniers, DIS are qualified to issue relevant Calibration Certificates using their range of calibrated slip blocks.

Quoting is carried out up front against a component drawing and is a fixed price.
