As an OEM, hiring the best possible partners to provide contract manufacturing services for orders of any size is always a challenge. One of the biggest concerns for OEMs in keeping the costs of production as low as possible, while also ensuring the quality of the machining services meets customer as well as industry standards.
Hiring CNC machining services is one way to keep costs as low as possible with production while also offering complete quality control throughout production. This is possible due to the computer control of the equipment, and the benefits are significant for any OEM to consider.
Low Waste
Once the equipment has been programmed, CNC machining services run with extremely limited waste. The precision machining offered through the automated systems eliminates the errors that can occur with manually operated machines, and also avoids even slight deviations from the original design.
This saves on the cost of production as the machining service does not have to calculate in the typical percentage of waste for the various machining operations required. Advanced equipment and systems also are more efficient, longer lasting, and use a greater range of technology to reduce the wear and tear on cutting tools, drills, grinders and other types of parts and components.
Higher Production
While reducing the cost of waste on a project, the choice of CNC machining services also increases the production levels. This can be further boosted through the use of automation and robotics.
Using robotic technology to feed the workpiece into the machining equipment, as well as transfer between equipment as needed, means that production can occur around the clock. This not only benefits large volume orders for OEMs, but it can also dramatically reduce turnaround times for small orders or when moving from prototyping into full-scale production.
