Overview
Pearson Manufacturing provides dimensional and visual inspection across incoming, in-process, and final stages. Routine QC is performed internally; advanced metrology may be routed through trusted Canadian partners—always under Pearson QA and a single report package.
Scope varies by part geometry, tolerance, and required uncertainty. We’ll recommend the right inspection method during intake.
Quick Specs
| Engagement | Best For | Speed | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incoming | Raw material & vendor parts | Fast | ID/cert verification + spot dimensions |
| In-Process | CTQs during machining/assembly | Fast | SPC/checkpoint dims; adjust process |
| First Article (AS9102) | New or revised part approval | Medium | Ballooned drawing + Forms 1–3 before release |
| Final / Certified | Lot acceptance & documentation | Medium | Full report; optional 3rd-party 17025 lab |
Our Capabilities
- First Article Inspection (FAI) with ballooned drawings and structured reports
- In-process and final dimensional inspection with CTQ focus
- CMM programs & measurement per ISO 10360 methods (routing dependent)
- Surface finish verification (Ra/Rz) and flatness/roundness checks
- Thread, taper, slot, and feature verification; functional gauging
- Material cert capture and lot/heat traceability on request
DFM & Inspection Prep
- Provide a drawing with clear datum scheme (primary/secondary/tertiary) and highlight CTQs.
- State the governing GD&T standard (ASME Y14.5 or ISO GPS) and units; avoid mixed units.
- Call out surface finish as Ra (and cut-off) or Ra/Rz; note any cosmetic A-surfaces.
- Specify sampling plan (e.g., 100%, AQL, SPC frequency) and acceptance criteria.
- For threads, include standard (UNC/UNF, ISO metric, class/fit) and gage type (GO/NO-GO).
- If FAI is required, confirm AS9102 scope, rev level, and whether subcomponents need Forms 2/3.
We’ll confirm method, sampling, and achievable uncertainty before kickoff.
Why Choose Our Inspection?

Inspection FAQs
Do you provide AS9102 First Article Inspection?
Yes. We can deliver ballooned drawings and AS9102 Forms 1–3 for new or revised parts before production release.
Are your gauges calibrated?
Measuring equipment is calibrated at intervals with certificates traceable to SI via ISO/IEC 17025-accredited labs (routing dependent).
What tolerances can you verify?
Hand tools typically support thousandth-inch class checks; CMM methods achieve micrometre-class uncertainty when the part, probe strategy, and environment allow. We’ll propose the right method for each feature.
Which standards do you accept on drawings?
GD&T per ASME Y14.5 (or ISO GPS). If unspecified, we’ll ask to confirm the governing standard before inspection.
Can you perform standalone inspection on external parts?
Yes. We can inspect third-party components and issue reports or certificates without additional machining work. Start your inspection quote — include drawing, CTQs, sampling plan, and due date.
Need Precision Inspection?
Send your drawings and CTQs—we’ll select the right method, document to standard, and turn a clear report.
