Questions about processes and orders3 questions
What tolerances can you hold?

Our best is ±0.01 mm in CNC milling (many features, not only hole positions; measured hole positions are typically 0.02 mm). Where the drawing gives no tolerance, the general tolerance of the process applies. Each capability page lists it.

What equipment do you have?

Automatic lathes, CNC lathes, CNC milling machines, stamping presses and a hydraulic press. The factory page lists every machine with its quantity and size range.

How fast can I get prototypes?

The sample lead time is listed on the ordering page. It depends on the part and is confirmed in the quote.

Not sure which process fits?

Send the drawing. An engineer picks the process.
