Machine-Ready Blanks

TCI Precision Metals has introduced precision machine-ready blanks, including dovetail blanks.

 "Machine-ready blanks from TCI Precision Metals help shops increase throughput up to 25% allowing them to ship finished parts fast and get paid quicker," said Ben Belzer, President and COO. With a single purchase order customers receive custom precision blanks ready to load directly into their CNC machining centers. Precision blanks eliminate the need for in-house sawing, grinding, flattening, squaring operations and outside processing. Each blank arrives deburred, clean and to customer specifications - providing as close as +/- .0005" dimensionally and as close as .0002" flatness, squareness and parallelism. "Customers can use the time they previously spent in set-up and prep for more productive use of CNC machining centers, adding to their bottom line profitability. And with our ability to consistently produce close tolerance, flat blanks, part movement is reduced, improving overall quality, added Belzer."

Machine-ready dovetail blanks provide similar productivity benefits to customers using 4- and 5-axis machining centers fitted with a dovetail workholding fixture. Each dovetail blank includes a precision machined dovetail to match the brand and model of workholding fixture specified by the customer. The machine-ready dovetail blanks are designed to eliminate all material prep, allowing machine operators to simply load, lock and go.
