Custom-cut ready-to-ship blanks (right) help shops shorten set-up time, reduce scrap and increase overall throughput by up to 25% by eliminating material prep. Blanks arrive machine-ready for production and are suited for short-run and production machining, tooling and prototype applications.
TCI Precision Metals has introduced custom-cut, Ready-to-Ship blanks. Customers can now order custom-sized, pre-machined materials that ship fast and arrive ready to go directly from receiving to finish machining.
"Ready-to-Ship blanks, available online from TCI Precision Metals, are pre-configured in hundreds of dimension/alloy combinations," said Ben Belzer, President and CEO of TCI Precision Metals. "Each blank arrives at the customer flat, square, parallel and +/-.002 in. of stated dimensions. When customer dimensional requirements fall between standard available sizes, they can order the custom-cut option and get exactly what they need. This is important, especially when customers want to go directly from receiving to machining without any further prep."
Ready-to-Ship blanks help shops shorten set-up time, reduce scrap and increase overall throughput by up to 25% by eliminating material prep. Blanks arrive machine-ready for production and are suited for short-run and production machining, tooling and prototype applications.
Precision blanks eliminate the need for in-house sawing, grinding, flattening, squaring operations and outside processing. Blanks are consistent, part-to-part, which reduces set-up time. In the case of flat blanks, the production process alleviates residual stress in the material, which results in reduced part movement during finish machining. Each blank is deburred, cleaned and individually packaged to avoid damage during shipping.
