Free First Article Inspection Timer

Use a first article inspection timer for setup confirmation, sample pull, inspection, measurement review, documentation, question window, and release handoff. Create an XTimer room when quality, engineering, and production teams need shared first article timing.

Built for this job

Quality teams can separate setup, sample pull, inspection, measurement review, documentation, questions, and handoff.

Production can see first article timing without treating the timer as a release system.

XTimer rooms support shared first article inspection timers across quality, engineering, and production.

Professional setup

Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.

Use inspection plans, qualified inspectors, engineering specs, calibrated tools, and quality systems as the source of truth.

Use the timer for pacing only, not for acceptance, release, compliance, or engineering decisions.

Keep measurements, results, approvals, and release records inside approved quality systems.

Use an XTimer room when quality, engineering, and production teams need one shared first article countdown.
