Are you looking for the highest-quality machine manufactured components for your equipment? Then you need reliable precision engineering services. What do you expect from such a company?
When making a list of requirements, you may realise that the number of companies fitting your needs is limited. At Woodley Engineering, we know all the ins and outs of this business. We would like to share several things to look for when choosing precision engineering services.
1) Sufficient Experience
Manufacturing of proper replacement parts, their repair and configuration don’t just rely on high-quality machinery (even though you can put such machinery on your checklist as well). A lot depends on the experience of the engineers working on your project.
Depending on the difficulty of your task, the engineers may need to combine different approaches to come up with excellent results. Only experienced workers know which method to use to achieve speed and quality.
At Woodley Engineering, we have over 30 years’ experience working with a variety of industries, creating high-quality components and prototypes.
2) Fast Delivery
The downside of ordering the necessary components from an OEM is the slow delivery speed. When choosing precision engineering services, the speed of delivery can make a difference between a slight production delay and expensive downtime.
The company you choose should have various materials in stock and a team of engineers readily available to work with all types of projects. Excellent ability to deal with the task at hand results in quick delivery.
At Woodley Engineering, we make sure all the clients’ needs are met as fast as possible. We have numerous spare parts and materials available in stock. Our engineers are always ready to take on the next task.
3) Accreditation
When you are choosing precision engineering services, you can find many third-party companies. However, they can’t ensure high quality without proper accreditation. Before hiring a company, make sure it’s properly accredited in the UK according to internationally recognised standards.
At Woodley Engineering, we are fully audited and accredited to ISO 9001:2008 standards. We are also UKAS Management Systems and AJR Registrars accredited. Meanwhile, each one of our engineers has relevant accreditation to support their work.
4) Flexibility
Depending on the complexity of your project, you may want the engineers dealing with it to have certain flexibility. Creating equipment components requires precision, high-quality materials, and proper planning.
Engineers should be able to work with CAD software, have experience in both manual and CNC milling and turning, and working with a variety of materials. Only by having all these skills available is it possible to create flexible bespoke solutions for numerous industries.
At Woodley Engineering, we have a team of high-skilled engineers, who can help design, plan, and manufacture components for a project of any difficulty level.
5) Reasonable Cost
The cost of machine-manufactured components depends on many factors. For some projects, it can be unreasonably high. When you are looking for precision engineering manufacturing services, it’s important to compare prices among suppliers.
At Woodley Engineering, we work with each client individually to set the most reasonable price for each project.
