Common Questions About Automation Materials
What materials are best for automation frames?
6061-T6 and 6063 aluminum are the most common choices due to their balance of strength, machinability, and dimensional stability. 6061-T6 offers excellent structural properties for load-bearing frames, while 6063 is ideal for precision extrusions and profiles.
Can you support long-term automation projects?
Yes. We maintain stable inventory levels and support repeat orders with consistent material specifications. Each project is assigned a dedicated contact to ensure continuity throughout your production lifecycle.
Do you provide inspection and traceability documents?
Yes. All materials are supplied with Mill Test Certificates (MTC), and additional dimensional inspection reports are available upon request. We maintain complete traceability from mill to shipment for quality assurance.
What's your lead time for custom machining?
5-7 days for sample production with engineering review. Standard materials from stock can be dispatched same-day or next-day. Volume production lead times depend on specifications and quantity.
Do you support both prototyping and production volumes?
Absolutely. We support everything from small-batch prototyping to mass production. Our flexible inventory system and production capabilities allow us to scale with your project requirements from initial samples to full production runs.
