Dimensional Inspection
Calipers, gauges, optical methods or dedicated fixtures selected for the geometry and tolerance.
Quality & Engineering
Define the requirement, control the process, verify the result
Our quality planning starts from the current drawing revision, functional surfaces and agreed acceptance criteria. Inspection depth is matched to project risk and customer requirements.
Requirement Alignment
Silicone tolerances must reflect function and measurement method
Elastomer parts can deform under their own weight, measurement force or fixture pressure. We identify the critical dimensions and agree how they should be measured instead of applying unnecessarily tight limits to every feature.
- Drawing revision and units confirmed
- Critical and reference dimensions separated
- Measurement contact force and fixture considered
- Flash, mismatch, gate and appearance limits located
- Functional test conditions written where needed
Control Plan
Project checkpoints from incoming material to shipment
Material
Grade, hardness, color and project-required documentation.
First Sample
Dimensions, appearance, assembly and functional observations.
Process
Stable molding conditions, insert handling and defect controls.
Final Inspection
Agreed dimensional, appearance and functional sampling.
Packaging
Part protection, count, identification and shipment readiness.
Inspection Scope
Checks selected around part risk
Not every project needs the same inspection plan. The applicable combination is agreed during quotation and sample approval.
Appearance Review
Flash, short fill, contamination, color, surface marks and other agreed visual criteria.
Material & Hardness
Material identification and hardness checks aligned with the approved project specification.
Bond or Pull Evaluation
Interface checks for overmolded inserts where adhesion or mechanical retention is functional.
Leak or Seal Testing
Project-defined pressure, vacuum or assembly checks when sealing performance requires verification.
Documentation
Sample records, inspection summaries or customer-specific reports can be defined before order release.
Engineering Communication
Changes stay tied to a drawing revision
Material, dimensions, texture, inserts or test conditions can all affect the mold and process. We recommend documenting changes before the next sample or production run so both teams are evaluating the same requirement.
