Quality Control

At Sharples, our policy is to make that extra call to the customer when something seems ill-suited for the job request. We take quality very seriously. Our investments in equipment, maintenance, and training are made to enforce our stringent policy on quality.

Inspection of Tooling

All dies and related tooling are checked for accuracy and workmanship. We have a minimum of three to five inspection steps during the manufacturing process, from design to final inspection. We place all tools through an inspection process. Upon customer request, we prepare a custom inspection report to accompany tooling.

Inspection of Finished Parts for Contract Cutting

At Sharples, we inspect incoming material for a specific laser or water-jet cutting job at the time of receipt. Our inspection covers the thickness of material, type, and sheet size. We also inspect parts for customer orders before we complete the final cutting process.

Document Certification Service

Sharples offers a document certification service to confirm the dimensions of a finished part or tool. This service is available upon customer request. Our coordinate measuring table allows us to generate digital readouts to establish data on finished parts and tools.

An Extensive Reference of Industry Machine Specifications

Sharples acquires literature and technical documentation on the leading industry machines. We update our documentation continually and maintain our connections with machine manufacturers.

Individual Customer Specifications

Every customer is different. Every job is different. At Sharples, we respect the unique character of each customer request. We keep customer specifications readily available to all departments at every stage of the manufacturing process. We update this category of specifications routinely, as customer preferences and guidelines change.
