Five Clues You Have Found the Right CNC Machining Partner
Relying on another firm in your business can be a bit worrisome.
You give up control and hope and pray that your trust is not misplaced. Throw in the precision and attention to detail required from a CNC machining partner, and the combination can literally keep you awake at night! Here are five areas to consider when looking for that perfect partner. Here are the five clues you have found the right CNC machining partner.
1. Range of Offering in CNC Machining
Make sure your partner can handle a wide variety of requests. If you settle for only what you need today, you will outgrow your CNC partner and have to start from scratch with someone new as your business expands.
2. Versatility of Machining Partner
Even if you are confident you know your own needs today, what is to prevent your customers from throwing you a curve tomorrow and asking for the moon? Your partner has to be just as committed to going the extra mile and responding quickly to the unexpected. Make them prove they can respond to changes in kind as well as in scale.
3. Depth
CNC machining is one thing, but what about assembly and kitting? Can your partner easily expand to fill your sub-assembly or top assembly requests? Even if you currently keep these operations in-house, look into the benefits of sourcing these operations closer to their manufacture. It may save you money, especially in the hands of an expert.
4. Guarantee of Quality
When your name is on everything you do, it is a constant reminder of what’s at stake. Ricaurte Precision is trusted in the industry because we wanted our name to stand for quality and dependability. Make sure your partner is equally held to the highest standards and is willing to stake their reputation on every job.
5. Commitment to Technology
An ideal partner will have a range of the latest technologies to fit any scenario with a minimum of setups. Fewer setups mean a quicker turnaround and cost savings to boot. Test your candidates to ensure they are not shoehorning your requirements into technology that doesn’t really fit or requires too many steps to be viable.
