Mechanical and plant engineering
The sector with the widest variety of parts: brackets, flanges, shafts, plates, covers. It has no dominant technical requirement; it does have the shortest expected lead times and the highest price sensitivity.
Parts typical of this sector
Brackets, flanges, shafts, plates, covers - the branch with the widest variety of parts and the smallest runs. What governs is set-up time, not cutting speed: a part in ten pieces is paid for in fixtures and tooling, not in minutes of cutting.
Criteria that govern the quotation
Cost is driven by the number of set-ups and the batch size, not by any one tolerance. A part finished in a single set-up accumulates no repositioning error and needs no set-up on a second machine. A complete drawing - material, delivery condition, functional dimensions marked, quantity and call-off pattern - shortens the quotation more than any other single factor, because it removes the rounds of clarification.
Usual materials
The material groups most frequently found in this sector’s parts. What governs remains the requirement on the drawing, not the sector classification.
Usual processes
The processes this sector’s parts usually pass through.
Documentation usually required
Usual: material certificate on request, dimensional report on the dimensions marked as functional. Agreed at quotation.
