What a Real FAT at Aligned Machinery Looks Like

Factory Acceptance Testing means different things to different manufacturers. For some, a dry run of the equipment is sufficient. For others, the only acceptable test is a full material trial run under actual production conditions. For clients with specific output benchmarks, nothing short of a complete inspection against those numbers will do.

At Aligned Machinery, the FAT process is built around that reality. Every session is structured to meet the specific validation requirements of the individual client — not a standardised checklist applied uniformly regardless of context.

Real Materials. Real Conditions. Real Confidence.

When a client visits the Aligned Machinery facility for FAT, the machine runs with real materials under real production conditions. This is not a demonstration of what the equipment is theoretically capable of — it is a direct test of how it performs against the client's actual requirements. The client is present throughout, observing every stage and raising questions as they arise.

Depending on what the client needs to confirm, the session may involve a dry run to verify mechanical performance and sequence, a material trial to assess output quality and consistency, or a full production inspection measured against specific output targets. In each case, the standard is set by the client, and the test is designed to meet it.

The Point of FAT

The purpose of Factory Acceptance Testing is to eliminate uncertainty before shipment — not to manage it afterwards. A client who leaves the facility having seen their equipment run correctly, with their materials, against their requirements, is a client who can commission and start production with genuine confidence.

Manufacturers considering a visit to the Aligned Machinery facility are welcome to reach out at any time to discuss FAT arrangements.
