Machine-Ready Blanks from TCI Precision Metals - Manufacturing News
TCI Precision Metals will showcase its precision Machine-Ready Blanks capabilities to customers at IMTS 2024.
TCI Precision help shops shorten set-up time, reduce scrap and increase overall throughput by up to 25% by eliminating material prep. They are guaranteed to arrive machine-ready for production, with standard-size blanks in low quantities ready for immediate shipping or custom-made-to-order blanks in production quantities available for quick turnaround.
Precision blanks eliminate the need for in-house sawing, grinding, flattening, squaring operations and outside processing. Each blank arrives deburred, clean and individually packaged to avoid damage during shipping. Ready-to-ship blanks can be ordered online for same-day or next-day shipping and arrive square, flat and parallel within ± .002" of specified dimensions all around.
Custom made-to-order blanks are made to customer specifications. They are guaranteed as close as +/- .0005" dimensionally and as close as .0002" flatness, squareness and parallelism.
"Customers can use the time they previously spent in set-up and prep for more productive use of CNC machining centers, adding to their bottom-line profitability. With our ability to consistently produce close tolerance, flat blanks, part movement is reduced, improving overall quality," said Ben Belzer, President of TCI Precision Metals.
