Trial Production Contract Processing Feature | Aluminum Casting Processing Contract - Frame
We cannot find a prototype processing partner for other companies' cast products. We will accept machining only with the know-how of an aluminum casting manufacturer and will produce prototypes in the shortest time possible.
Do you have experience being turned down by a manufacturer specializing in machining when you wanted to machine cast products from other companies in the prototype stage? Castings have variations in shrinkage and internal stress depending on the material, and knowledge of casting is necessary to estimate machining conditions. Manufacturers that specialize in machining often find this estimation difficult and tend to shy away from it. Karmo Casting is a manufacturer that also casts aluminum castings in-house. We can estimate machining conditions based on the trends of shrinkage and distortion of raw materials, allowing us to accept machining contracts for cast products from other companies. We can accommodate a wide range of needs, from single prototypes to ongoing contracts after transitioning to mass production. This product is a special feature on prototype contract machining, summarizing cases where we only accepted machining for cast products from other companies. We are offering a technical document summarizing the break-even point by method and considerations for small lot production for free. Please download it from the link below.
basic information
【Processing Services】We accept machining of rough materials from other companies' cast products (utilizing our own foundry manufacturer's know-how) 【Quantity Supported】From one prototype 【Size Supported】From 50mm square to 1,000mm square 【Material Supported】General rough materials from other companies' cast products (aluminum; casting methods are negotiable) Aluminum alloys: AC2A / AC2B / AC3A / AC4A / AC4B / AC4C / AC4CH / AC4D / AC7A / AC8B (10 types) 【Machining】15 units of 5-axis machining centers, 2 gantry-type machining centers, 3 vertical machining centers, 2 NC lathes 【Inspection】2 contact-type 3D measuring machines, 1 non-contact 3D digitizer (tolerance 50-80μ) 【Certifications】ISO9001 (2012) / JIS Q 9100 (2015) / KEMS Step 2 【Items to Prepare When Inquiring】Drawings (STEP / IGES / PDF) and rough materials (actual items). If there are no drawings, just dimensions and materials are sufficient. We also accommodate NDA agreements.
Price information
After confirming the material and shape of the cast metal, processing will begin in as little as 2 weeks. Please consult us first, as it may vary depending on quantity and precision requirements.
