• FabriVision Inspection Scanner – The FabriVision inspection scanner is used to verify punched and laser-cut parts during the first article process. This technology uses a laser beam to scan the flat parts coming off the punches or lasers and compares the scanned image of the part to the CAD file. A color-coded map is generated showing the variations between the CAD file and the part in increments of .002″. The machine software will also alert the inspector if any part features have been omitted.
• GagePack Database – All gages, whether company or employee-owned, are traceable through our in-house calibration program. We use a GagePack database to manage the system and all standards used to verify gages are traceable to N.I.S.T.
• In-House Welder Certification – Welders at American Fabricators undergo an in-house welder certification program that is based on the requirements of the American Welding Standard D1.1. Some of our more advanced welders have been 3rd party certified by an independent laboratory.
