BLESS / QUALITY

Agree the checks.
Know the evidence.

BLESS uses CMM, spectrometry, tensile testing and NDT. Material, dimensional and mechanical-property reports can accompany the order, with the inspection scope confirmed per project.

Four methods.
A project-specific scope.

Start with the drawing and acceptance requirements, then confirm the inspection methods and records that apply.

Inspection method Role in the project
CMM Dimensional and geometric checks against the agreed drawing
Spectrometer Material composition analysis for the specified aluminum alloy
Tensile testing Mechanical-property testing to the agreed scope
NDT Inspection requirements and acceptance criteria confirmed per project

Tell us what your
receiving team needs

Material, dimensional and mechanical-property reports can be provided with the goods. The specific records, features and acceptance criteria should be agreed before production.

  • Material reportIdentify the material specification and required records.
  • Dimensional reportMark the dimensions and features that need to be recorded.
  • Mechanical-property reportSpecify the requirements that need to be discussed for the project.

The part needs
the right evidence

BLESS uses CMM, spectrometry, tensile testing and NDT. The drawing and agreed acceptance criteria define the inspection scope.

01 / CHECK

Inspect the part

Measure agreed features with CMM and the methods specified for the project.

02 / RECORD

Prepare evidence

Material, dimensional and mechanical-property reports can accompany the order.

03 / PROTECT

Pack for transit

Discuss packaging and handling requirements for the finished components.

04 / RELEASE

Confirm shipment

Confirm destination, packaging, requested records and project-specific timing.

Frequently asked questions

How should I specify material and inspection for custom aluminum components?

State the alloy designation and applicable standard if your design already specifies them. List critical dimensions, surface conditions and the checks or records you require. Material availability, manufacturing suitability and the inspection scope need to be confirmed for the individual project.

What should overseas procurement teams clarify before ordering?

Clarify the drawing revision, quantities, sample approval requirements, inspection records, packaging and requested delivery destination. Ask for project-specific confirmation of commercial terms and timing. A requested delivery date should not be treated as a confirmed lead time.
