Quality Assurance & Certifications for Defense & Aerospace

General Tool Company provides comprehensive quality assurance and inspection capabilities to support the demanding requirements of defense and aerospace manufacturing. Our quality management system incorporates detailed data collection, analysis, and continuous process improvement to help prevent defects, maintain precision, and consistently meet customer specifications.

GTC specializes in the inspection and measurement of large, complex components. Our coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) feature a 2-meter cubic work zone, while flexible measuring arms and laser trackers extend our inspection capabilities to even larger assemblies. Using PC-DMIS software and PolyWorks 3D metrology tools, our team performs dimensional inspection, measurement analysis, and reverse engineering.

Our nondestructive testing (NDT) capabilities provide additional confidence in component integrity. In addition to visual and dimensional inspection, GTC uses liquid penetrant testing, radiographic inspection, and magnetic particle inspection to identify flaws and defects without compromising the component.

Traceability is an essential part of our quality assurance process. GTC supports customer requirements through workpiece marking and comprehensive inspection records that associate measurement results with individual parts. This combination of advanced inspection technology, documented processes, and continuous improvement supports quality and accountability throughout manufacturing.
