    Documentation
02 · Traceability Flow

Documentation sequence, raw stock to shipment.

Every job runs through Fulcrum ERP. Heat numbers are captured at receiving, lot numbers are laser-etched at the first cut, and jobs do not ship without a complete certification package.

1

Raw Material Received

Mill cert captured and logged to the job. Heat and lot numbers recorded in Fulcrum ERP at intake. Material verified against print callout before processing.

2

In-Process Tracking

Lot number etched at the 6 kW fiber laser, in-line, or tagged at each operation. No unmarked parts in process.

3

CMM Inspection

Dimensional report generated on the Keyence XM-5000 optical CMM to ±0.0005″. Critical features verified before release from inspection. Visual weld inspection to AWS standards.

4

Shipped with Full Package

Certs, CMM inspection report, traceability log, and material documentation ship with every order.

03 · Inspection Equipment

Inspection equipment.

Dimensional inspection is performed in-house on a Keyence XM-5000 optical CMM: ±0.0005″ accuracy over a ~3-meter measurement envelope. Visual weld inspection is performed in-house to AWS standards. With lot-etching applied at the first cut, each part carries a documented chain of custody from material receipt to shipment.

04 · Program Fit

Program requirements by industry.

DEFENSE

Audit-ready documentation.

SAM.gov registered; CMMC Level 1 in process; veteran-owned. Each shipment includes mill certs, heat/lot records, CMM reports, and weld inspection records, generated during the job rather than assembled afterward.

GAS TURBINE

Approved program supplier. Nickel-alloy capable.

AWS-certified welding in Inconel, Hastelloy, and stainless. CMM inspection to ±0.0005″. P28A-AL-0002 audited and compliant (GE Supplier # 102626). Parts arrive dimensionally verified with documentation for receiving inspection.

ROBOTICS

Serialized per-part traceability.

Per-part CMM documentation and serialized records. Any part can be traced to the heat number of its raw stock.
