About Us

Q-PLUS Labs is proud to have joined Industrial Inspection & Analysis on November 1, 2023 and is now combining our leading precision dimensional measurement laboratory with their expansive network and lab and inspection expertise across the United States, Canada, and China.

Since 1987, we have provided a one-stop, under-one-roof solution to all of your precision measurement, inspection, engineering, quality assurance related, and metrology equipment needs. We are ISO 9001:2015 registered, ISO 13485:2016 and AS9100D certified, and ISO 17025:2017 accredited.  Additionally, we are proud to have earned the numerous formal customer approvals that we actively maintain. Q-PLUS Labs, an Industrial Inspection &Analysis (IIA) company, is also a long-time member of the American Society for Quality (ASQ). All measurements performed are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (N.I.S.T.). We exist to meet the quality needs and challenges related to the manufacturing and perfection of your product.

We pride ourselves on thinking outside the box on behalf of the customer. Being mindful of our customers’ needs, we are always thinking several moves ahead with regard to your product’s manufacturing process. We take our job very seriously. In this business, we’ve got to do our job right, no exceptions. What that means is that our lab will not cut corners. Shortcuts are a preface to problems. While we are always mindful of the importance of cost-effectiveness, we’ve built our reputation as being the most “valuable” in the industry.

Our lab experts tackle projects fearlessly and with total confidence. As perfectionists with decades of experience and education to our credit, we intimately understand our role in the overall process. Paramount to doing the job right is understanding the myriad manufacturing methods employed today, proper interpretation of engineering drawings and requirements, and the metrology equipment used to measure. We understand the importance of keeping up with the latest technology and feel it is our responsibility to do so.

As part of the IIA family, we can connect customers to a full menu of laboratory, non-destructive examination/testing (NDE/NDT) services, and engineering solutions across North America — services designed to ensure safety, performance and compliance.

History

Blue Scribe Sample

Q-PLUS Labs was founded in 1987 by a veteran metrologist and quality manager with over 35 years of industry-specific experience and formal education in the field. Since then, Q-PLUS Labs has been committed to serving customers across the nation and around the world by offering the finest in inspection, measurement, and engineering technologies, principles, and applications as well as attentive and responsive customer service. We provide solutions for a wide array of clients large and small, serving industries such as Aerospace, Defense, Automotive, Commercial, and Medical.

Facilities

Q-PLUS Labs is located at 13765 Alton Parkway, Unit E, Irvine, California in the heart of the larger Irvine Spectrum business park, part of what has become known as the Tech Coast. Our expansive facility is amply equipped and staffed to support the broad range of services we offer and products we sell. Our sealed laboratory is isolated from the rest of our facilities and fully environmentally controlled via dedicated control systems. Much of our customer’s work is proprietary in nature. Accordingly, all associated confidentiality requirements are strictly adhered to. The security of our customers’ interests is given the very highest priority.

Technologies

Our laboratory employs a vast spectrum of available and proprietary technologies including numerous manual and automatic CMMs, many with multi-sensor capabilities, and high-resolution mass scanning. Sensoring includes many contact and non-contact methods including variable pressure touch-trigger and continuous contact probes, vision with advanced edge detection and articulated lighting, laser, white-light fringe pattern, ultrasonic, Hall-effect, and variable reluctance transducer. We can measure with resolutions below .000001 of an inch, lengths over 30 feet long, parts weighing over 1 ton, data collection at rates in the thousands of points per second, on materials ranging from paper to man-made sapphire.
