Sheet Metal Parts/Lasered Components

Sheet Metal Parts/Lasered Components (continued)

Laser- and flame-cut blanks are often used to make a wide variety of mechanical components or entire assemblies. We can handle complex machining on CNC machining centers in addition to conventional drilling, countersinking and thread-cutting. Our approach produces precise components quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

    • Beveling for pieces up to 25 mm thick and 4000 mm long

Prototypes

Prototypes (continued)

The challenge with manufacturing prototypes is achieving the optimum adaptation to the eventual series part without being able to use mass production methods. To try out an injection-molded part, for example, we would first need to produce an injection mold. This is often not feasible due to reasons of time and costs. Our specialty is manufacturing machined prototypes. In close consultation with the customer, we modify the components so that they match the subsequent final product as far as possible in terms of its appearance and essential structure while allowing for machining with CNC turning and CNC milling. A great advantage over additive manufacturing is the wide selection of materials, which often is similar to the subsequent series production material.

Assembly Parts

Assembly Parts (continued)

The individual parts that we produce can be combined into ready-to-install assemblies. We will also handle the procurement of any required purchased parts. The process steps are tailored precisely to your products. We will develop and manufacture any necessary work jigs, such as welding jigs, in-house. We supply lots ranging in size from 1 to several thousand.

The following joining methods are mainly used:

• Screwing
• Welding
• Pressing
• Soldering

We also offer:

• Inscribing/engraving
• Surface finishing
• Labeling
• Ready-to-use packaging

Examples:

• Sheet metal housing with press-fit studs
• Door hinges for special armored vehicles
• Plastic milled part with threaded insert
• Lever with bolt, welded

Assemblies

Assembly (continued)

At i-provide, you can not only purchase individual parts but also entire ready-to-install assemblies. In addition to manufacture of drawing parts, we will also undertake the entire procurement process for all other components. Assembly is completed based on drawings, parts lists, and 3D files. As a result, your purchasing department has a lighter workload, your internal resources are conserved, and inventory management is simplified. What used to be many items in your warehouse is now a single assembly with a product code and delivered with assured quality and at the agreed time.

Examples:

• Product carriers for automated assembly lines
• Welding jigs
• Robot grippers
• Jigs
• Sheet metal housing

We offer you prompt quotations with fair prices and short delivery times. This is made possible by an organized structure, thoughtful digitalization in all processes, and an extensive machinery that provides economical processing options for almost every need.

Our expertise, high product quality, broad delivery range, and consistently practiced punctuality have convinced many customers. Our clientele includes companies from medical technology, automotive manufacturing, machinery and special machine construction, plant engineering, and various other industries. We look forward to impressing you as well and eagerly await your inquiry.

One-Off Production

One-Off-Production (continued)

Our company’s wide strategic direction enables us to manufacture small component batch sizes at a cost-effective price, starting from just one piece. We offer a wide diversity of parts, which can be produced promptly. No matter whether you urgently need replacement parts due to a machine breakdown or components for a customized machine, we are at your service, ready to help.

Series production

Series production (continued)

In the case of larger lots and recurring needs, we create the basis for cost-effective manufacture of your components with impressive manufacturing strategies. As we are also optimally equipped to provide individual part manufacture, we are able to produce samples and pre-production parts in a short space of time. We do not start with series manufacture until the evaluation is complete. This is a decisive advantage for you, giving you the assurance that you will receive the right part and save a great deal of time overall. Framework agreements with call-off orders can also be concluded with just-in-time deliveries.

Component Packages

Component Packages (continued)

Imagine that you have a component package for a special machine consisting of a wide variety of drawing parts in quantities ranging from 1 to X. Until now, you needed to purchase the parts from many different suppliers. Tracking deadlines is time-consuming, surface-finished components often don't look the same, and one supplier delivers late – the entire schedule needs to be rearranged. It doesn't have to be this way. Our extensive capabilities in manufacturing CNC turned parts, CNC milled parts, lasered and sheet metal components, and our versatility in assembly production make us a valuable partner if you want to save time and money when procuring mechanical components.

Surface Finishing

Surface Finishing (continued)

Since we work closely with several finishing providers, we can ship all the components we manufacture complete with surface finishing. We consider finish thickness during fabrication to ensure that the threads and fits in your parts still meet the required tolerances after finishing. Since some materials take certain finishes better than others, it pays to select the starting material carefully. We can recommend suitable materials and thus guarantee that you receive top-quality, high-precision parts.

Manufacturing components from a variety of materials is what we do every day. Knowledge about the usability of different alloys makes us a dependable partner ready to assist you. We are also able to provide material certificates and advanced material tests can be performed in test laboratories. We procure blanks and semi-finished parts on short notice. In addition to the customary bar and flat steel, these include saw- and water jet-cut blanks made out of aluminum, laser- and flame-cut blanks in regular and high-grade steel or even sawn shapes made from tool steel.

We offer processing for the following materials:

  • Aluminum alloys
  • Free machining steel
  • Structural steel
  • Bronze
  • High-grade steel
  • Plastic (including for medical use)
  • Copper
  • Brass
  • Titanium
  • Special materials such as beryllium copper
  • Tool steels
  • Saw-cut blanks
  • Water jet-cut blanks
  • Laser-cut blanks
  • Flame-cut blanks

Engineering

Engineering (continued)

Most of the costs for a component are already specified during the design stage. Starting from the choice of material and design through to the finishing process, many factors need to be considered which greatly affect the component price and allow or impede process-reliable manufacturing. One key aspect here is a design for manufacturing (DFM), i.e. products designed in such a way that they are easy to manufacture. We are able to make meaningful contributions to customer designs and offer relevant feedback based on our extensive design and manufacturing experience and high-performance 3D CAD software. Our customers value our expertise in this area. This is why we are often consulted during the creation process for new components. The result is problem-free, practice-oriented solutions which enhance component quality and reduce the price.

Materials (continuing)

We can quickly obtain all the blanks and semi-finished products needed for production, too: saw- and water jet-cut blanks made out of aluminum, laser- and flame-cut blanks in regular and high-grade steel or even sawn shapes made from tool steel. The tool steel blanks are often used for complex high-load components and offer many advantages over flame-cut blanks for this application.

• Aluminum alloys
• Free machining steel
• Structural steel
• Non-ferrous metal
• High-grade steel
• Plastic (including for medical use)
• Titanium
• Tool steels
• Saw-cut blanks
• Water jet-cut blanks
• Laser-cut blanks
• Flame-cut blanks
• Sawn shapes

 

Engineering (continuing)

What does that mean in practice? For one thing, certain criteria have to be met before manufacturing can be reliable or cost-efficient. It takes extensive knowledge of manufacturing to design a part that is fabrication-ready. Often, relaxing tolerances, tweaking the geometry or selecting a slightly different material or finishing process can cut costs significantly. Since we keep a close eye on both the design and manufacturing sides, we can provide valuable guidance and get right to the most practical solution for your needs.
