Au service de l'industrie
As an integral part of quality management, quality control is a technical act whose purpose is to determine, thanks to specific tools and equipment, whether or not the machined parts are compliant with pre-established specifications. Those specifications can be driven by customer demands, technical or product requirements, requirements related to a quality certification, or a combination of these factors. Quality control therefore includes a decision of acceptance, rejection or rework of the controlled part.
To carry out that control on a product, it is necessary to determine its characteristics beforehand and to choose the tolerances within which the product will be compliant. The "controller" who will perform those checks has to be fully aware of those limits.
Our workshop is equipped with an air-conditioned control room entirely dedicated to the control of parts.
Focused on metrology, it gathers a set of technical means used for the dimensional control of the parts that we machine, namely:
In addition to that, dimensional checks are carried out at each manufacturing stage, throughout the machining process, thanks to workshop tools available to our operators, who thus actively contribute to the monitoring of our quality approach on a daily basis (internal / external 2T / 3T micrometers, calipers, buffers, pins, etc.).
Finally, all our control tools are identified, engraved and regularly controlled by an independent external organization. As a result, we have access to a computerized follow-up of their calibration, which allows us to guarantee the highest quality in all our orders.
Certified ISO 9001 and EN 9100 since 2015, our certifications vouch for our professionalism and commitment to our profession and customers. They demonstrate our rigor and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, both by our employees and by our suppliers and subcontractors.
The ISO 9001 certification, by defining the criteria applicable to our quality management system, guarantees that improving the quality of our products and services is an on-going and systematic process within our organization.

Specific to the aeronautical sector, the EN 9100 certification vouches for the reliability and quality of our services. This certification allows us to meet the requirements of the main authorities and clients of the Aeronautics, Space and Defense industry and to be officially recognized and referenced in the international OASIS database, which perfectly represents the relationship of trust we have built with the stakeholders of this extremely demanding sector.
