Large machining (Machining large components) is defined by Qimtek as the processes that are carried out in workshops which handle some of the largest components on the market.
Within the category large machining you will find the workshops in Great Britain which handle and manufacture the largest components. When turning, components are sometimes several metres long or the diameter can be more than one metre. Milled components are often more than one metre in all directions.
The purchasers are often in the mining, paper, power, forest or steel industries, and they normally buy one-offs and small volumes. The purchasers look for suppliers with large machine tools, which have lifting capabilities as every workpiece might weigh several tons.
This industrial bearing manufacturer is currently in urgent need of a supplier who can assist with the immediate turnaround of the attached mandrel. There is an immediate order to place for this enquiry, with delivery sought at the supplier's earliest convenience. Therefore, this one-off requirement will be best-suited to those with immediate capacity and could lead to additional work in future.

This manufacturing company, who specialises in the manufacture of pipework products and outsources approximately £500,000 worth of machining each year, is currently in need of a supplier who can machine the attached flywheel from solid. The part in question hasn't been required in a number of years and therefore, there is no longer a supplier in place. There is an immediate order to place for this enquiry, with delivery required by mid-November. This will be a one-off requirement, although it may lead to additional enquiries of a similar nature for the chosen supplier, once a relationship has been established.
This company specialises in design and manufacture of rod rigging systems for both the marine and construction industries. They seek quotes as soon as possible for the inside hole to be bored as to the attached drawings, followed by honing to the indicated finish. All other work shown within the drawings is not required. The aluminium material will be free-issued and cut to approximately 5-10mm longer than the drawing lengths. Diameters are also slightly larger than the drawings and not machined. Please quote your best price and lead time for the boring and honing work; quotes received quickly will be seen favourably due to the short lead times required for two of the sizes. There is also scope for additional work to follow this initial project.
