Precision Inspection Services
Critical components need verification before they go into service. That's where precision inspection comes in. We've spent three decades at Shamrock Precision learning what quality assurance really means across energy, gas & oil, medical, aerospace, and a wide range of other industries.
Our technicians know precision matters on every single inspection.
What Inspection Actually Does
Manufacturing quality depends on accurate inspection. Complex energy machinery or intricate medical devices, measuring and validating how components perform separates success from failure.
Current inspection technologies combined with processes we've proven over time give customers real confidence.
For example, power companies depend on our inspection protocols to verify that critical piping systems have structural integrity and will perform reliably. Finding problems early stops expensive downtime, improves how systems run, and keeps everyone safe.
Medical devices need completely different inspection approaches. High-precision components for innovative products require our specific capabilities. Maintaining tight tolerances and material integrity on sensitive applications gets life-saving products to market successfully.
Services We Provide
Complete precision inspection covers what customers actually need:
- Dimensional Inspection CMMs and optical comparators in our shop perform detailed dimensional work. They catch accuracy issues on complex geometries that simpler methods miss entirely. Working with parts from 0.125 inches to several feet, our equipment handles diverse size ranges.
- Material Testing Hardness, tensile strength, and other key properties get measured. This confirms materials hit specifications for strength, wear resistance, and real-world performance. We test everything from standard steels to exotic aerospace alloys. Our precision testing capabilities guarantee materials perform as specified in demanding industry applications.
- Functional Testing Testing equipment and protocols show how components and systems truly perform. Parts meet requirements and standards before shipping out. Real-world simulation testing catches issues before installation.
