Turning machines (lathes) can be conventional (manual) or computer numerically controlled (CNC). Turning, in its simplest form involves the removal of material from a rotating workpiece clamped to a spindle using a fixed tool working along the piece. Types of lathes range extensively these days. Modern lathes can have live interchangeable tooling where the workpiece can be stopped and or moved and a rotating tool(s) used in the manner of a milling machine. Multi spindle and sliding head lathes are two such examples which can also be bar fed to offer higher volume and/or more complexity. We classify Low volume as batches of one off to 50 off.
Post project to suppliers with Turning, Low Volume capabilities
This company specialises in the manufacture of products for the automotive industry and spend in excess of £15k per year on machined componenets. They are looking for a supplier to carry out turning of a 316 stainless steel wheel carrier stud. Interested companies are asked to quote their best price and delivery as soon as possible, as the buyer has an immediate order to place for this work. This project has potential to become an ongoing requirement however, future batches are yet unknown.
This project calls for the urgent production of two different designs of pin, which are required as part of an emergency on-site repair. The client will favour quotes from those that can offer a fast turnaround and asks that interested parties respond at their earliest convenience. 1 off of each design is needed at this time and the buyer's £250,000 annual spend on machined components means that there is scope for the relationship to be developed further.
This manufacturer of bespoke activity equipment, who spends over £100,000 per year on outsourced machining seeks a supplier who can turn a number of parts from a variety of materials, urgently. Please be advised that due to the nature of this urgent requirement, the buyer may close the project early if a suitable supplier is found.
