If you are an OEM in the Bloomington area with a concept for a new piece of equipment, a system or some type of new machinery for an industry, finding a company to turn to provide design through to production services is a very big part of getting your idea to market.
Not all machine shops are able to provide concept to production for machine equipment, and the vast majority of these shops simply take the drawings and files provided and begin production based on the requirements provided by the OEM. While this may be a good option if the OEM has a top in-house engineering team, it is not an effective solution for most companies that need additional support, recommendations or even design and engineering services.
Addressing Challenges
With an in-house engineering team, or even as a smaller company outsourcing design services to the same company prototyping and producing the machine equipment, choosing experience is always a factor to consider.
Experienced companies specializing in machining custom part, components and systems have the ability to use their past project experience to address challenges in your design. They are also better equipped to notice areas of potential production or performance challenges and be able to offer alternatives that can increase performance or enhance the life cycle of the parts or components.
In addition, the more experienced company with a history of providing custom machine equipment are also able to make recommendations to decrease the cost of manufacturing and even reducing the time from concept through to production of complex automatic or manual systems and equipment.
With a full range of value-added services and the ability to work on state-of-the-art types of robotics components on equipment, these services are a definite advantage to any OEM in the Bloomington area.
