TCI Precision Metals' Machine-Ready Blanks Increase Throughput
IMTS 2024: TCI Precision Metals highlights its machine-ready precision blanks for reduced scrap and setup time. It is also offering a promotion on blanks for new customers.
TCI Precision Metals showcases its precision machine-ready blanks, aiming to help shops shorten setup time, reduce scrap and increase overall throughput by up to 25% by eliminating material prep. The products are said to arrive machine-ready for production, with standard-size blanks in low quantities ready for immediate shipping or custom-made-to-order blanks in production quantities available for quick turnaround.
Precision blanks can eliminate the need for in-house sawing, grinding, flattening, squaring operations and outside processing, according to the company. Each blank arrives deburred, clean and individually packaged to avoid damage during shipping. Ready-to-ship blanks can be ordered online for same-day or next-day shipping and arrive square, flat and parallel within ±0.002″ of specified dimensions all around.
The company offers custom, made-to-order blanks made to customer specifications. They are reportedly guaranteed as close as ±0.0005″ dimensionally and as close as 0.0002″ flatness, squareness and parallelism.
TCI is offering new customers an opportunity to try machine-ready blanks on their next job with an IMTS trial promotion. Customers ordering ready-to-ship blanks online can receive 15% off their first order by entering code “BLANKS” in the coupon field at checkout. Customers considering made-to-order blanks in production quantities can receive a free sample blank made to their exact specifications along with their estimate.
