The cost of our component management service depends on a number of factors, including:

• The volumes you want us to source and stock
• The complexity of the components, and the difficulty in procuring them
• Turnaround times

However, it’s worth remembering that our component management service wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t a more affordable solution than businesses sourcing and stocking components individually. We use our decades of experience, global network of experts, and technical expertise to source you the best quality, most suitable components for your project. We use only trusted supply partners, with whom we have longstanding arrangements, keeping your supply flow steady and your prices as low as possible.

Yes, we’re able to source componentry in a variety of materials, including plastic, other metals, glass, and electrical components. We’re happy to store these items in-house alongside our extruded aluminium stock as part of our component management solution, and to include them as part of our component assembly service.

Our component management service is designed to make your life easier. Running a business is hard enough on a day-to-day basis without factoring in all the potential pitfalls of component sourcing. How do you know who provides quality components? Which suppliers are reliable? Are you getting the best price and the best deal? Our component management service is here to take these uncertainties out of the equation. Not only that, but we save you time, space, and money. All you have to do is let us know what you need, and we’ll work with our global network of suppliers to handle the rest.

Yes, you can – as long as the components sourced are suitable for the intended application, and are delivered directly and promptly to our facility.  However, we do prefer to source all components on our customers’ behalf, for a number of reasons:

• We have a huge network of trusted supply partners who have worked with us for years
• We’re able to manage the whole process and divert any problems
• We can use our existing relationships to get you more competitive prices
• We’re able to regulate the flow of components depending on market demand

If you would like to talk to us about setting up a component management arrangement using components you have sourced, please do get in touch and we’ll do our best to advise.

Yes, coordinate measuring machines are highly suited to carrying out overall quality control checks on products. As part of our comprehensive coordinate measuring service, we offer full 3D product inspections, tool certifications, CAD comparisons, reverse engineering, prototyping, 3D printing, dimensional analysis, and design assistance. We pride ourselves on offering first-rate technical design expertise to our customers, so contact us to find out how our coordinate measuring services can help improve the success of your project.

Our coordinate measuring service is designed to save you time and money. As technology advances, the need for precise components increases. Using a coordinate measuring service enables you to design and refine your component, testing it in virtual space without having to waste time and money on numerous prototypes. Our coordinate measuring services employ a portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with an articulated arm, enabling us to measure large items that are hard to move, such as parts in the automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries. We can measure items up to 12 feet in spherical volume in-house, and larger, using the capabilities of our trusted partners, so please get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Our coordinate measuring service allows us to record highly accurate measurements for a particular component along X, Y, and Z axes. By recording points along these axes, we’re able to construct a range of algorithms that enable us to test the item for its suitability in terms of design intent and the role it plays within a wider assembly. Using computer-aided design, we can take the data gathered during our coordinate measuring service and explore various potential adjustments to the work piece in virtual space, identifying ways to help it better suit its intended application.

Yes, we have extensive in-house coordinate measuring services at our facility in Ross-on-Wye, offered as part of our turnkey aluminium extrusion solutions. If for some reason, our coordinate measuring services aren’t suited to your project, we can work with one of our trusted partners to source a more appropriate setup.

At Edmo, we use a portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with an articulated arm, which offers us real flexibility when it comes to working on complex or outsize items. The machine itself can be moved around our facility, and its arm positioned to get a full and accurate 3D view of the component being measured. As we’re able to move the coordinate measuring machine rather than the items being measured, we’re able to cut down on the time needed for the process – particularly if we’re working with large items.

Our aluminium extrusion stock holding team work in partnership with our logistics department to offer rapid delivery on many of our in-stock items, both standard and bespoke. We’re proud to offer next-day delivery to many of our customers from our distribution sites in Ross-on-Wye and Wednesbury, and will always do our best to get you what you need as soon as possible after you place your order.
