Capabilities / Manufacturing system

01 / 03

Capacity only matters in context.

Machines establish an envelope. Geometry, material condition, setup access, coordinated processes, and inspection determine whether that envelope becomes a controlled manufacturing route.

The complete review

The machine is one boundary.
The route is the system.

Capacity is useful when it is read with the complete requirement. The register below supports initial screening; the released drawing and quoted scope remain the manufacturing basis.

06 Technical questions

Settle the route
before quotation.

What is the largest part you can turn?

The stated CNC capacity is up to Ø800 mm diameter × 700 mm. Conventional lathes are listed at 12 in centre height with a 7 ft bed. Part feasibility still depends on geometry, workholding, material, and inspection access.

What is the largest part you can mill?

Stated vertical machining centre travels are 1270 × 660 × 635 mm. The material-handling register lists 5 ton and 10 ton overhead cranes. Discuss the current requirement for part-specific feasibility.

How are tolerances handled?

Bring the current drawing revision and applicable specifications. Feasibility, acceptance characteristics, inspection methods, and required records are confirmed for the quoted scope; no blanket tolerance is published.

What materials do you machine?

The supplied register lists stainless grades 316, 316L, 304, 304L, 410, 430, and 431; alloy and other materials including 4140, 4340, 17-4PH, CK-45, CK-60, cast iron, mild steel, and Inconel; and non-ferrous materials including bronze, copper, aluminium, and lead. Confirm the exact grade, standard, and condition with the RFQ.

Do you handle heat treatment, casting, or NDT?

The supplied register lists these as coordinated processes. The provider model, applicable procedure, required approvals, and documentation must be confirmed for each process at quotation.

What file formats can I upload?

The RFQ accepts PDF, STEP/STP, IGES/IGS, DXF, DWG, and ZIP files. Upload up to five files, 25 MB each and 75 MB combined.

How quickly will I receive a quotation?

A standard quotation time is not currently published. Timing depends on drawing completeness, material, quantity, coordinated processes, and inspection or documentation requirements.
