Quality Assurance

Rigid quality assurance procedures, continuous in-process inspection and statistical process-control evaluation are more than just buzzwords at Nimet. They're the basis of how we approach our customers' exacting needs.

Quality assurance begins with routine statistical-sample inspection of incoming parts. We use customer-supplied reference blueprints and data. If deviations outside normal standards are found, customers are notified immediately so that problems can be addressed before processing begins. Because of this thorough incoming inspection service, many customers ask their suppliers to drop-ship their parts directly to Nimet.

We monitor all hardcoat anodizing processes - including Nimet's proprietary Nituff® - from a single, central location. These processes are controlled by specially trained inspection personnel. We also verify critical part dimensions before and after processing to ensure that exacting tolerances are met. Such care is especially important in the anodizing process, which actually converts surface aluminum to form a portion of the resulting aluminum oxide coating.

In addition, we have a number of procedures in place to facilitate the flow of parts through the plant, thereby ensuring high-quality results at the most cost-effective price possible. These include:

• Special engineering capabilities for regular high-volume orders
• Fast, dependable, flexible delivery
• Prototype testing to solve difficult performance problems. Simply send a sample of the piece. We'll process it and return it for your evaluation.
