QUALITY ASSURANCE

Banda Manufacturing's AS9100 and ISO9001 certifications reflect our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of quality and precision. Our robust quality management system ensures that every product meets or exceeds customer expectations.

First Article Inspection: Every dimension of the first part is checked and recorded, ensuring that our customers receive parts made exactly to their specifications.
In-Process Inspection: Inspections continue and are recorded throughout the manufacturing process, occurring at the start of each operation and periodically during the operation. This practice ensures parts are produced as close to the target dimensions as possible.
Final Inspection: Before packaging components for shipment, a final inspection is conducted. A random sample from the lot is thoroughly inspected, and a Final Inspection report is created. Dimensions, required finishes, coatings, and the overall appearance of the components are verified.
