Stop non-conforming material at the door
The cheapest defect to catch is the one that never enters your process. We help you verify incoming material quickly and reliably.
Incoming Material Inspection
Raw material, semi-finished goods and bought-in parts arrive from multiple suppliers with varying quality. Relying on supplier certificates alone risks letting wrong grade, wrong condition or out-of-tolerance material into production.
Defects caught at goods-in cost a fraction of those discovered in finished products or the field. Effective incoming inspection protects your process, reduces line stoppages and gives you leverage with suppliers.
Approaches worth considering
There is rarely a single right answer. These are the methods most relevant to this challenge — the best choice depends on your part and goals.
Material verification (OES)
Confirm alloy grade against certificates and specifications at receipt.
Hardness testing
Check condition and heat-treatment state of incoming material.
Dimensional checks
Verify key dimensions of bought-in parts with fast optical measurement.
Sampling & documentation
Practical inspection plans and traceable records for goods-in.

Explore each technology in depth — what it does, where it's used and the equipment categories involved.
Spectrometers (OES)
Optical emission spectrometry delivers fast elemental analysis — so you verify alloys and control composition from melt to finished part.
