- In-Process Quality Control
- Final Inspection & Documentation
OUR QUALITY FOUNDATION
Quality Is Not a Final Check.
It Is Part of the Process.
Every project begins with clear quality requirements and continues through controlled manufacturing, inspection and documented approval. This structured approach helps us maintain consistency from the first part to the final shipment.
Controlled Production
Key dimensions and process conditions are monitored during manufacturing to identify variation before it affects production.
Verified Results
Finished parts are inspected against approved specifications, with reports and traceability provided when required.
QUALITY CONTROL PROCESS
Quality Controlled at
Every Critical Stage
From requirement review to final release, defined inspection points help identify variation early and maintain consistent part quality.
01
Requirement Review
Drawings, tolerances, materials, finishes and inspection requirements are confirmed before manufacturing.
02
Incoming Material Inspection
Materials and purchased components are checked against specifications before being released to production.
03
First Article Inspection
Initial parts are inspected before the remaining production quantity proceeds.
04
In-Process Quality Control
Key dimensions, appearance and process conditions are monitored at defined production intervals.
05
Final Inspection
Completed parts are verified against dimensional, visual and functional acceptance criteria.
06
Documentation & Release
Inspection records are reviewed before parts are approved, packaged and released for shipment.
INSPECTION CAPABILITIES
Inspection Equipment for
Reliable Measurement
Our quality team selects the appropriate inspection method according to part geometry, tolerance, material and project requirements.
CMM
Coordinate Measuring Machine
CMM inspection supports accurate verification of complex three-dimensional features, geometric relationships and critical part dimensions.
- Geometric dimensions
- Position and alignment
- Complex part features
3D SCANNING
Blue-Light 3D Scanning
Handheld blue-light scanning captures full-surface geometry and supports fast comparison between manufactured parts and approved CAD data.
- Full-surface comparison
- Complex contours
- Deviation analysis
OPTICAL
Visual & Optical Inspection
Optical inspection supports the evaluation of small features, edges, surface appearance and details that require magnified visual review.
- Surface appearance
- Small part features
- Defect identification
GAUGING
Precision Measuring Tools
Calipers, micrometers, height gauges and other appropriate measuring tools support routine dimensional checks throughout production.
- Routine dimensions
- Thickness and depth
- Production monitoring
Calibrated and Managed
Measuring equipment is maintained and calibrated according to defined quality procedures.

DOCUMENTATION & TRACEABILITY
Quality Results You Can
Review and Trace
Inspection data and supporting documentation provide clear evidence that parts have been reviewed against approved project requirements. The reporting scope can be defined according to your application, industry and production needs.
01
Dimensional Inspection Reports
Measurement results for specified dimensions and critical part characteristics.
02
First Article Inspection
Initial production parts can be documented before the remaining batch proceeds.
03
Material Documentation
Material certificates and related supplier documentation can be provided when specified.
04
Production Traceability
Project, material and inspection records support controlled production and issue tracking.
Documentation availability and format should be confirmed during project review.

Contact Our Quality Team
How does HordRT control product quality?
Quality control begins with drawing and requirement review and continues through incoming material inspection, first article inspection, in-process monitoring, final inspection and documented release.
What inspection equipment does HordRT use?
Depending on the part and inspection requirements, our quality team may use CMM inspection, handheld blue-light 3D scanning, optical inspection and precision measuring tools such as calipers, micrometers and height gauges.
Can you provide dimensional inspection reports?
Yes. Dimensional inspection reports can be provided according to the agreed inspection scope. Please specify the required dimensions, report format and documentation needs during project review.
Do you perform first article inspection?
Yes. Initial production parts can be inspected and approved before the remaining production quantity proceeds. The exact first article inspection scope should be confirmed before manufacturing.
Can material certificates be supplied?
Material certificates and relevant supplier documentation can be provided when specified and available. Please include these requirements when submitting your request for quotation.
What dimensional tolerances can you inspect?
Inspection capability depends on the part size, geometry, material, manufacturing process and selected measuring method. Our team reviews critical tolerances before confirming the appropriate inspection plan.
How are non-conforming parts handled?
Non-conforming parts are identified and controlled to prevent unintended release. The issue is reviewed to determine the appropriate disposition and corrective action according to the project requirements.
Which management system certifications does HordRT hold?
HordRT is certified to ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949:2016, ISO 13485:2015 and ISO 14001:2015. These systems support documented processes, controlled manufacturing and continual improvement.
