Key CNC Machining Quality Measures

Our outgoing quality control process ensures that every part meets exact specifications before shipment, utilizing advanced equipment such as Hexagon CMMs, Keyence systems, Zeiss EQ equipment, and other industry-leading technologies.
First Article Inspection (FAI)
Each new part undergoes a thorough first article inspection to verify that it meets all specified tolerances and dimensions before full-scale production begins.
In-Process Inspections
Continuous monitoring during machining ensures that every part adheres to tight tolerances and maintains consistent quality throughout production runs.
Keyence Systems
Used for advanced measurement and inspection, these systems help ensure the integrity of critical dimensions.
Dimensional Integrity
Our CNC machining centers are capable of achieving tolerances as tight as ±0.0001 inches, guaranteeing precision for even the most intricate designs.
Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM):
We employ industry-leading Hexagon CMMs, traditional CMMs, CMMs with CAD comparison, and Zeiss EQ equipment for high-precision measurements, ensuring dimensional accuracy for even the most complex geometries.
Surface Finish Inspection
We provide both visual inspection and profilometry to verify that each part achieves the specified surface finish.

Key PCB Quality Measures

Design Rule Checks (DRC)
We conduct 300+ checks throughout the design phase to ensure that your PCB design is manufacturable and defect-free before production.
Impedance Testing
For high-frequency applications, we offer precise impedance control with 5-10% tolerance, ensuring consistent electrical performance.
First Article Inspection (FAI)
The first article of each production run is thoroughly inspected to confirm compliance with all design specifications before full-scale production begins.
Net List Testing (IPC-356)
Critical netlist verification ensures that the electrical connections align with design specifications.
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
Every board undergoes AOI to detect defects or deviations, ensuring that every product meets stringent quality requirements.
By adhering to IPC-600 guidelines and utilizing advanced manufacturing technology, BAE LLC guarantees exceptional PCB quality, delivering products on time and within budget.
