This is a very worthwhile question, because this is the only way for a manufacturing company to find a partner. Choosing a high quality mechanical machining manufacturer, the following investigation points are important.
1. The plant must have powerful mechanical process engineers
For a mechanical machining manufacturer, a powerful mechanical process engineer can not only greatly expand the processing capacity and scope of the factory, but also greatly reduce the cost of production and improve the quality of the product. A mechanical process engineer is equivalent to a the technical soul of a mechanical machining factory, and many times, they are the capital and strength of a mechanical machining factory, and the foundation for external cooperation in mechanical machining.
Therefore, to choose a mechanical machining factory, you must first see whether the mechanical machining factory has the corresponding mechanical process engineer. If they have good mechanical process engineers, then you can give the product to them for machining because they have the soft power to complete your product. Because the machining of each product requires product machining technology, the level of machining technology directly determines the product’s quality, cost, cycle and happiness of cooperation, and in this process, the mechanical process engineer is the master of all this , no one.
2. The factorymust have superb machining operators
The second is to investigate the quality of the operators of this mechanical machining factory. We know that although machining depends on equipment to complete the work, but the quality of many products is still in the hands of the people. The professional technical ability of the operator is the key to the quality of the product.
The professional technical ability include the degree of understanding of product machining technology, the degree of grasp of equipment machining performance, the degree of understanding of tool machining parameters, the degree of understanding of various machining quality, this is a relatively complex and systematic technical process, not a few days or months of training can be completed, but skills that can only be accumulated and honed in the continuous production process. Under the same machining conditions, some people can make the product perfect, while others can’t even reach the standard. This is the difference in professional technical ability.
When investigate the workshop, you can see if the operator’s machining area is clean and tidy, and check whether the machining equipments have been cleaned and maintained after work. If they can have better quality, these tasks will be done well.
If the mechanical process engineer is the soul of a machining company, then a high-quality machining operator is the soul’s companion. Only through the combination of their two swords can the perfect production of a product be achieved.
3. The factory must have complete production equipment
Production equipment, which is the basis of a mechanical machining factory, is a hard indicator of a machining factory. The production equipment of a machining factory must be considered from three dimensions: full, new and accuracy.
The first is full, that is to say that turning, milling, planing, grinding, boring, drilling, wire cutting and other machining equipment must be available. Only in this way can we truly meet the requirements of various types of parts machining, otherwise it is difficult to really and effectively do a product machining supporting supplier. Because the parts may involve a variety of types of processing needs, if the manufacturer equipment is not full, it is bound to be some of the processing process again outsourcing, which will not only affect the product processing quality and efficiency, but also increase the product processing cost and cycle, which is not very cost-effective.
Secondly, the production equipment should try its best to be new, because the new equipment can provide higher machining accuracy and machining quality, and also provide faster machining efficiency, especially the current production equipment are all CNC machining equipment. And the machining efficiency is much higher than the old manual equipment.
The last is the accuracy of the production equipment. For some machined parts with special requirements, we need to weigh the matching of high-precision processing equipment. If the mechanical machining factory can do everything, but there is a high-precision process that cannot be completed. you finally have to second outsourcing, this is not very cost-effective. Therefore, for some products with special processing requirements, you also need to do a more detailed investigation of the production equipment to confirm whether the machining accuracy really meets your product machining requirements.
