What should a buyer request from a supplier's CMM inspection?
A measurement report for every critical characteristic, made on a calibrated coordinate measuring machine and traceable to the batch.
At RESEDA d.o.o. parts are measured in an in-house measuring room on ZEISS CMMs with CALYPSO software, for parts up to 2,000 mm.
Checklist for purchasing
Six points to agree with the supplier before the first order.
| Request | Why | At RESEDA |
|---|---|---|
| First article inspection before series | confirms the process before volume | FAI / EMPB approved by the customer |
| Report for every critical characteristic | proves the drawing is met | standard |
| Report on your own form | fits your incoming inspection | on request |
| Calibrated gauges | trust in the numbers | regular calibration |
| Link between report and batch | traceability in case of a complaint | full batch traceability |
| Inspection range for large parts | large parts need a large CMM | ZEISS CMM up to 2,000 mm |
How tight can tolerances be, and how are they verified?
RESEDA machines metal parts to tolerances down to 0.003 mm (3 µm) and verifies them on ZEISS CMMs.
Whether a tolerance is achievable depends on material, geometry and size, so every drawing gets a technical review before quotation.
What happens before parts are shipped?
Parts are industrially washed and dried, visually inspected and packed in RESEDA's own packing department.
Pneumatic and electrical testing is available for assemblies.
What if a part is out of tolerance at the customer?
Complaints are handled with root-cause analysis and corrective actions, normally closed within 30 days.
Batch traceability shows which material, machine and measurement are affected.
