CNC Machining Shop Factory
On the floor we run Hexagon CMMs, a KEYENCE laser microscope, an XRF spectrometer for material grade, a micro-Vickers for hardness, a Fischer coating gauge, and salt-spray and tensile testers. Incoming material is XRF-checked against the mill certificate. The equipment is not a showroom piece; it is the proof behind every tolerance we quote.
A buyer visiting the floor should see the measurement gear next to the machines, not in a separate room nobody enters. Ours sits where the parts are measured.
The measurement equipment list is also a capacity statement. Two Hexagon CMMs, a KEYENCE laser microscope, an XRF spectrometer, a micro-Vickers, a Fischer gauge, and salt-spray and tensile testers mean the factory can verify what it cuts without sending the part out to a third-party lab. That is faster for you and keeps the measurement record inside the same traceability chain as the machining.
| Instrument | Measures | Catches |
|---|---|---|
| Hexagon CMM | Geometry and critical dimensions | Size and position outside tolerance |
| KEYENCE laser microscope | Edges and small features | Burrs and fine geometry a probe misses |
| XRF spectrometer | Material composition | A substituted or mixed alloy |
| Micro-Vickers | Hardness | A heat-treat step that missed spec |
| Fischer gauge | Coating thickness | Plating or anodizing outside range |
Which certifications does the factory hold?
ISO 9001:2015 (116024/A/0001/UK/En), IATF 16949:2016 (131941/A/0001/SM/En, manufacture of CNC metal machining parts, excluding product design under Clause 8.3), and ISO 14001:2015 (116024/B/0001/UK/En). The numbers are verifiable with the registrars. The IATF scope is stated honestly: we are build-to-print, not a design owner.
| Certificate | Number | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| ISO 9001:2015 | 116024/A/0001/UK/En | Quality management system across all machining services |
| IATF 16949:2016 | 131941/A/0001/SM/En | Manufacture of CNC metal machining parts, excluding product design under Clause 8.3 |
| ISO 14001:2015 | 116024/B/0001/UK/En | Environmental management system |
Read the table as a map of what each certificate can and cannot promise. ISO 9001 promises a managed system, not a specific tolerance. IATF 16949 promises automotive-grade process control, not product design. ISO 14001 promises environmental management, not dimensional accuracy. A supplier that lets you read one certificate as the other is overselling, and overselling on compliance is the first thing a diligent buyer should question.
How does compliance extend beyond certificates?
Certificates are the floor. Beyond them, compliance covers labor practices, environmental responsibility, and customer IP protection. Our code of conduct addresses anti-forced-labor, anti-child-labor, confidentiality, and data protection. Ask to see it alongside the certificates; a shop that will not show its code of conduct is telling you something.
IP protection deserves its own line in a diligence review. A build-to-print factory sees your drawings, your tolerances, and often your intended application. Ask how the shop protects that — NDAs, access controls on files, and whether your drawing is ever shown to another customer's project. The answer is part of the compliance picture, not an afterthought.
Environmental compliance is the third leg, and it matters more to some buyers than any dimension. ISO 14001:2015 (116024/B/0001/UK/En) means the shop tracks waste, coolant, and energy with the same discipline it tracks tolerances. For you whose own customers audit the supply chain, that certificate is a pass, not a nice-to-have.
Can I visit the factory to verify compliance?
Yes. We welcome buyer and third-party audits at No. 8, Shuibian Songyuan Road, Hengli Town, Dongguan. A visit lets you count the machines, see the measurement equipment, and confirm the legal entity in person, which is the strongest diligence step available. Arrange it through [email protected] or +86 13126536955.
A third-party audit carries more weight than a self-guided visit for regulated buyers. An independent auditor verifies the certificates, the machine list, and the quality records without the supplier curating what you see. We accept third-party audits, and we keep the records an auditor will ask for, because a shop that is ready for an audit is a shop that runs its floor to a standard, not to a tour.
- Confirm the registration number against the legal name before you commit an order.
- Ask for the machine list by brand and count, and the inspection equipment standing next to it.
- Ask which certificate covers which service, and read the IATF scope line yourself.
- Arrange a visit — a floor you can walk is stronger evidence than any brochure.
What does a remote audit look like when you cannot visit?
Not every buyer can fly to Dongguan before the first order, and a remote audit can still get you most of the way there. Ask for a video walkthrough keyed to the machine list, so you can see the brands and the counts you were quoted; ask to see the inspection bench, not just the machining floor; and ask for a live call where the contact walks a specific machine and its recent work. A shop that can do this on short notice has nothing to hide.
The remote audit is weaker than a physical one, but it catches the worst risks — a broker with no floor, a machine list that does not match the building, a certificate that cannot be shown. Run it early, before you send a deposit, and treat any refusal to walk the floor live as the red flag it is.
Whether you visit in person or over video, the goal is the same: confirm the floor, the machines, and the entity match the paperwork you were quoted. When they do, you have a supplier; when they do not, you have a conversation to end.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the legal company behind the brand?
In short, The marketing brand is operated by Dongguan Zhuohang Ltd (brand name Zhuohang Precision Machining Factory), registration number 91441900MA4UWT6X39, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Hengli Town, Dongguan, Guangdong, China.
How large is the factory and how many machines does it run?
The facility covers 6,800 m² and houses 100+ production machines — 3-axis (50+), 4-axis (20+), 5-axis (20+), 25+ lathes, and 7+ grinders — plus 20+ inspection instruments. Brands include Mazak, Brother, Citizen, Star, and Tsugami.
What certifications does the factory hold?
We hold ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949:2016, and ISO 14001:2015. IATF 16949 scope excludes product design under Clause 8.3, so we are a build-to-print manufacturer.
How do I verify the certificates are real?
Ask for the certificate number, then confirm it with the certifying body — do not accept a logo or a PDF alone. A real factory sends its certificate numbers without hesitation.
What tolerances can the factory hold?
±0.003 mm on CNC milling, ±0.002 mm on CNC turning, and ±0.002 mm for precision grinding. We verify critical dimensions on Hexagon CMMs, with process capability Ppk ≥ 1.67 at the initial study on key characteristics.
Can I visit the factory?
Yes. We welcome factory visits at our Hengli Town, Dongguan address. A visit lets you verify the machines, the inspection bench, and the certificates before you commit.
How do I contact the factory?
Email [email protected] or call +86 13126536955. Send your drawing and you will get a review and a quote, usually within one business day, plus certificate numbers on request.
Can I audit the factory remotely?
Yes. We offer a video walkthrough keyed to the machine list, a live call walking a specific machine, and the inspection bench on camera. A remote audit is weaker than a visit, but it catches the worst risks before you commit.
