Here are some important things you should know about the manufacture of precision machine products. Being familiar with this information will help you get the most out of Orrco to maximize the satisfaction, and loyalty, of your customers.

Question: What are screw machine products?

Answer: Screw machine products are parts that are machined from bars of raw material. These products are used in a tremendous variety of applications, from automotive to recreation to medical. Screw machine products are found in computers, lawn mowers, appliances, air bags, etc.

Question: How many parts do I need to order?

Answer: Typically, as the volume increases, the per unit price decreases. This is due to the set up costs being spread over a larger quantity of parts. With today's modern CNC equipment, though, lower volume jobs become more economical to produce.

Question: How can I reduce the cost of my parts?

Answer: The most obvious answer is to increase the volume of the order, but there are many other factors to consider. A primary consideration is to reduce all the unnecessary. Keep the dimensional tolerances reasonable and don't build in extra tight tolerances that aren't necessary for the end use. With today's environmental; concerns, parts' handling and cleaning is a major area of cost. Especially in the area of threaded internal holes, parts cleaning can add to the final price. Some parts need individual packing and cleaning, but if your part doesn't, it can reduce the cost to you.

Question: How can I be sure of getting good parts with an on time delivery?

Answer: You can reduce the risk of receiving inferior parts or slow delivery primarily by choosing a reputable supplier and communicating your needs with that supplier. Make sure your supplier has a quality program that fits your needs. If you need a part on a regular basis, you can help assure reliable delivery and service by using a blanket order with regular scheduled releases. This type of order can also help reduce the cost of your particular part.

Question: Can my part be manufactured on a rush basis?

Answer: Often they can, depending on the circumstances. If the raw material is available and the part fits into our job schedule, a delivery time of 1 or 2 weeks is often possible. If Orrco has previously produced the part, typically tooling and gages aren't a problem.
