In industries like medical device, aerospace, semiconductor, and automotive manufacturing, precision isn’t just a goal – it’s a necessity. A single imperfection, invisible to the naked eye, can result in catastrophic failures.

For manufacturers of critical metal parts, Able offers integrated state-of-the-art analytical inspection tools for unparalleled quality assurance and peace of mind.

Why Advanced inspection matters

When tolerances are measured in thousandths of an inch, traditional inspection methods may fall short. Advanced analytical tools offer detailed insights into surface features and flaws that standard methods can’t capture.

For manufacturers, this means greater confidence in prototyping, enhanced quality control, and the ability to identify and address potential issues.

Ready to learn how our advanced inspection tools work to provide a deeper look into the surface finish of your parts? Watch our video to learn more about our services for advanced analytic testing:

Cutting edge technology for Comprehensive analysis

Our inspection process leverages best-in-class tools like the KEYENCE VK-X3000 3D Surface Profiler, KEYENCE VHX-X1 Digital Microscope, and JCM-7000 NeoScope™ Benchtop SEM. These technologies deliver high-resolution imaging, precise measurements and advanced surface analysis, setting a new standard for inspection in high-stakes industries.

  • Triple-Scan Technology: combines laser confocal scanning, focus variation and white light interferometry to achieve unmatched detail
  • High-Resolution Imagery: captures surface-level imperfections and provides 3D visualization for better understanding of part features
  • Non-Contact Surface Roughness Measurements: enables precise before-and-after surface profiling to showcase the benefits of electropolishing

A Proactive Approach to Prototyping & Quality Control

Able’s advanced inspection tools play a pivotal role in every stage of our process:

  • Prototyping Support: refine designs with detailed surface analysis and finish measurements before full-scale production
  • Quality Assurance: identify surface discontinuities and validate that electropolishing has effectively removed defects
  • Comprehensive Reporting: high-resolution imagery, Ra measurements, and 3D surface profiles give customers a clear understanding of part performance

Adding Value Beyond Inspection

Our processes also include in-house testing to verify the effectiveness of passivation treatment, including copper sulfate and potassium ferricyanide testing.

By investing in advanced analytical inspection, we help manufacturers ensure their critical metal parts meet the highest standards of performance and reliability. Contact us to discover how our services can support your next project.
