01
Micrometers, bore gauges & limit gauges
Shaft diameters, bearing bores, widths and mating sizes; select range and resolution for the tolerance
04 / INTERNAL QUALITY SYSTEM
Control starts
with the brief
BRF applies internal controls around each customer requirement — from drawing review and material selection to process checkpoints, inspection evidence and accountable release
DRAWINGPROCESSVERIFYRELEASE
INTERNAL CONTROL IN MOTIONREQUIREMENT / CHECKPOINT / RECORD
QUALITY / INSPECTION PLANNING
Measure what matters
Match the measurement method to the critical dimension, form, surface and function, from first article through in-process checks and final release
02
Vision measurement & optical comparator
Small profiles, hole spacing, slots and stamped outlines; optical access and edge definition must suit the feature
03
Coordinate measuring machine (CMM)
Datum-based position, flatness and perpendicularity of housings and complex parts, with a defined fixture and measurement strategy
04
Roundness / cylindricity instrument
Form of shafts, sleeves and bearing rings; use a dedicated form measurement method where the drawing requires it
05
Runout fixture & dial indicator
Radial and face runout relative to a defined datum; a runout reading alone does not establish roundness or straightness
06
Surface roughness tester
Ra / Rz of bearing seats, journals and roller surfaces, using the drawing-defined filtering and evaluation settings
07
Hardness & material verification
Rockwell or Vickers testing where appropriate; verify material certificates and specify composition or coating tests when required
08
Bearing clearance, torque & vibration
For assembled rolling bearings where specified: radial/axial clearance, starting or running torque, and noise/vibration under defined test conditions
A drawing-led inspection plan
Define critical features → select instruments and fixtures → verify first article → inspect during production → record release evidence; use suitable calibrated equipment and agree sampling and acceptance limits for the programme

THE OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Make every requirement
visible and reviewable
A controlled outcome begins with a controlled conversation. Our internal system turns the customer brief into a practical sequence of responsibilities, checks and records
Requirement capture
Drawing revision, material, finish, tolerance and critical features are clarified before the route is agreed
Process checkpoints
Key operations, first-piece checks and inspection points are defined around the part and its production route
Evidence & release
Relevant inspection evidence, open points and release decisions are kept visible to the responsible people
BRF / QUALITY ROUTE
A disciplined path for
every production conversation
QUALITY ASSURANCE CONTROLS
Built into the route
kept visible in the work
BRF applies internal quality practices through documented working methods, responsibility, review points and records. The controls used for each programme are confirmed around the customer requirement and manufacturing route
In-process inspection points
Key operations and inspection points are identified around the agreed part and production route
Measurement control
Relevant QC tools and calibration checks are organised to support reliable measurement activity
Supplier qualification & appraisal
Supplier material and process inputs can be reviewed against the needs of the customer programme
Sampling inspection planning
Sampling and verification methods are selected where they suit the part, risk and agreed requirement
Customer feedback follow-up
Questions, complaints and changes are routed into a visible review and corrective-action loop
First article & pre-production review
Early output can be reviewed before the route moves into repeat or higher-volume production
RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS / 2026
Climate action
kept visible
BRF has joined the SME Climate Hub commitment community. This commitment reflects our intention to build practical climate awareness into the way the company grows, operates and works with its partners
QUALITY STARTS WITH CLARITY
Share the requirement
we will map the controls
Send a drawing, revision, material, tolerance, finish and target volume. BRF will define the review path and controls that can be applied before a formal quotation or production commitment
