Quality built into production.
A component is only complete when it meets the agreed specification. At Ferroline, quality control is integrated into the manufacturing process — from drawing review and material identification through production, dimensional inspection and final release.
Quality starts before machining begins.
Reliable production requires more than inspecting a finished part. Before manufacturing starts, the technical requirements of the component are reviewed to identify the characteristics that matter to production and inspection.
The result is a production process built around the component specification rather than inspection being treated as a final step.
Control at the stages that matter.
Depending on the component and project requirements, inspection can take place at multiple stages of production.
Incoming material
Material is checked against the specified production requirements before manufacturing.
First component
Initial production can be verified before the complete batch proceeds.
In-process control
Relevant dimensions and production characteristics can be checked during manufacturing.
Final inspection
Finished components are inspected against the agreed drawing and project requirements before release.
Manufactured to drawing. Verified to drawing.
Critical dimensions are inspected using measurement methods appropriate to the component geometry and tolerance requirements.
Inspection requirements are established according to the individual project.

Documentation requirements should be defined when requesting a quotation so they can be incorporated into the production workflow.
The right component. To the right revision.
Industrial components often evolve throughout the life of a machine or product. Production requirements are therefore linked to the drawing and revision information supplied for each project. When submitting a repeat order, the relevant component and drawing revision can be confirmed before manufacturing begins.

Quality requirements for your project?
Send us your drawing together with any specific inspection, material or documentation requirements. Defining these requirements at quotation stage allows them to become part of the manufacturing process from the beginning.
