Masking

NTP's masking team handles complex masking assignments using a variety of aids, tools and methods. We work closely with the customer to support purchase order and blue print requirements for masking, protection of close tolerance surfaces and electrical bond areas.

 

All first article parts go through our First Part Verification process. During this process, NTP's masking team works with the customer to develop a digital masking card per the customer provided masking requirements. The masking cards are kept on file and at latest revision level.  There is a dedicated quality inspector who oversees all masking applications and manages our internal masking card database.

 

Once the customer has approved the masking card, our highly skilled masking team performs the masking requirements using many different methods:
