Matching

It may be that your component is already in production, or perhaps it is still on the drawing board. No matter what, there is much to be gained by applying correct matching in a range of areas. Firstly, of course, it is a matter of identifying the right production technique. We base our approach on the properties that the finished component is to feature, the size of the batch to be manufactured and the timeframe, and our goal is to minimise the amount of processing. The less processing required – and the fewer links in the chain – the lower the cost.

Minimised processing is one of the first requirements for successful matching. Minimised scrapping is another. As are, of course, short lead times and optimal logistical solutions. We provide assistance throughout the process from adaptation of the design – if appropriate – to production, processing and logistics. Correctly matched technology always results in lower costs.

In the field of matching

Questions we ask during a matching process:

  • Is the component currently in production? And if so, how?
  • How large a volume is to be manufactured?
  • What material is to be used?
  • What is the component to be used for?

 



  • What are the durability requirements?
  • What tolerances apply?
  • Where are the components destined for?
  • Can we make any changes?

Complete economy

A component that is currently manufactured via several stages of shaping by cutting, turning, milling and thread-cutting, may, depending on its dimensions and production volume, be suitable for production through metal injection moulding. An example of switching production techniques that can cut costs by more than 50%.
