Q
:
Once the design order is placed what type of feedback can I have?
A
:
All designs are submitted to the customer for concept review before the design is completed or manufacturing begins. We usually reserve one week in our schedule for customer approval. During this time changes can be made within the scope of the order. If required you can meet directly with the designer(s) involved in your project.

Q
:
What type of part (component) information is required for a gauge design?
A
:
If the gauge is for final inspection then a dimensioned part print is required. Many times our equipment is used for in-process inspection. If this is the case then process sheets will be required showing all stock conditions. Having an actual part to use as a design reference is always helpful.
