TCI Precision Metals will be showing its precision Machine-Ready Blanks capabilities to customers at IMTS 2026, booth 432123.
"Precision Machine-Ready Blanks from TCI Precision Metals help shops shorten set-up time, reduce scrap, and increase overall throughput up to 25% by eliminating material prep," said a company spokesperson. "Machine-Ready Blanks are guaranteed to arrive inspected, certified, and ready to go directly from receiving to finish machining."
Custom made-to-order precision blanks eliminate the need for in-house sawing, grinding, flattening, and squaring operations, as well as outside processing. Each blank arrives deburred, clean, and individually packaged to avoid damage during shipping. Custom blanks are made to customer specifications and are guaranteed as close as +/-.0005,Äù dimensionally and as close as .002,Äù flatness, squareness, and parallelism. Thin flat material is de-stressed to reduce part movement during final machining.
Standard ready-to-ship blanks are also available from TCI and can be ordered online for same-day or next-day shipping. Standard blanks are available in thousands of alloys and dimensional combinations. Each blank is produced square, flat, and parallel within ¬±.002,Äù of specified dimensions on two or six sides.
TCI has special offers for first-time customers. Ask a TCI material specialist for details.
