Assorted aluminum small parts and pins from a bar-fed run. Pins are cylindrical-ground to size after turning when fit matters; small aluminum parts stay light and never rust, which is why they replace steel in so many assemblies.
Function and Design
The small part is small in the bill of materials and large in the warranty claim when it goes wrong. The small part is checked against the drawing at each stage, not only at final inspection.
Design Highlights
- Sizes in this set are produced from matched tooling for consistent dimensions.
- A trial run can precede the first production order.
- Batch consistency is built in: first article verified, production sampled to match.
- Material: Material is confirmed at drawing review – steel, stainless, aluminium and brass are all stocked for small part production.
- Process: the small part is CNC machined – turning, milling and drilling in as few setups as possible.
- Finish: For the small part, surface is natural as standard; zinc, nickel, chrome and e-coat are quoted to the print.
- Size: Small part size to drawing, family covers the standard size range, with the agreed version governing every later batch.
- Custom: Custom small part builds to your drawing, with small trial lots possible before committing to volume.
Applications
Typical applications include automation and robotics hardware, pump and valve assemblies, electronic and telecom enclosures.
Factory-Direct Advantage
Bar-fed cells run unattended for consistency, and any dimension that drifts stops the cell. First articles on the CMM, production sampled against the same dimensions, and dimensional reports with material certs where PPAP levels are required.
Small part drawing or sample in, quotation with material options and sample lead time out.
