Supply from drawing and sample

Most urgent requests look the same: the line is down, the part is destroyed, no marking is left. We start from whatever exists.

Send a drawing or a photo All capabilities

This capability covers tasks that cannot be solved by ordering from a catalogue. We accept incomplete input, reconstruct the missing parameters and say plainly whether a match is possible. Feasibility is confirmed after review, not promised in advance.

What it solves

The number is unknown, the marking is worn or painted over.
A drawing exists but the original manufacturer is long gone.
There is only a worn part and its housing.

What we supply

Identifying an item from a drawing, photo or nameplate
Measuring the sample and reconstructing missing dimensions
Matching a ready item where one exists
Manufacture to the agreed documentation
A first article before the series

Input data we work with

A factory drawing, a scan from the datasheet or a hand sketch with dimensions
Photos of the part from two or three angles with a ruler in frame
The equipment nameplate, even partly legible
The sample itself or its fragments
Operating conditions and a description of the failure

How selection works

We reconstruct the geometry from the sample or drawing.
We determine the material from the operating conditions and the wear pattern.
We check for a ready item before proposing manufacture.
We agree which dimensions are the control ones.

Matching sheet

Parameter	Original	Proposed	Assessment
Source	worn sample	sketch from measurement	agreed
Fit diameter	⌀ 88 (measured)	⌀ 88 h7	tolerance assigned
Length	150 (measured)	150 ± 0.2	match
Material	not identified	steel 40Cr	assigned from duty
Hardness	no data	HRC 42…48	assigned
Groove	destroyed	reconstructed by calculation	needs agreement

Example format. Dimensions reconstructed by calculation are always marked separately from measured ones.

Parameter alignment

Control dimensions and tolerances are fixed in writing before manufacture.
Dimensions reconstructed by calculation are marked separately from measured ones.
Material and heat treatment are given as grades, not as descriptions.
Differences between the made part and the original are listed before shipment.

Pre-shipment checks

Inspection follows the agreed list of dimensions, not the whole drawing.
The first article is checked before the series starts.
The measurement result goes to the customer before shipment.

Documents

The agreed sketch or drawing with control dimensions
Supply contract and specification
The measurement result for the manufactured part
Material certificate where the order provides for one

Risks we remove

A worn sample gives undersized dimensions: removed by calculated reconstruction and agreement.
A part copied exactly from the sample repeats its defect: removed by reviewing the cause of failure.
Manufacture makes no economic sense at the required volume: we say so at once.

Who it suits

Plants with equipment that is out of production
Maintenance services without access to factory documentation
Plants where a line stoppage costs more than making the part

Stages of work

Input data

We take whatever exists: a drawing, photos, a nameplate or the sample.

DRAWING · PHOTO · SAMPLE

Measurement

We take the dimensions and reconstruct what is missing.

MEASURED + CALCULATED

The route

A ready item or manufacture — we show both routes.

READY vs MADE

Agreement

We fix the control dimensions, material and tolerances.

CONTROL DIMENSIONS

First article and series

The first article is checked, then the batch follows.

What to send for a quote

A drawing, sketch or photos with dimensions
Equipment data and operating conditions
Required quantity and date

Questions and answers

The part was made exactly from the sample and failed again.

An exact copy reproduces the cause of failure as well, if it was built into the part: the wrong material, the wrong heat treatment, a stress raiser in a fillet. So before manufacture we review the wear pattern and ask how the part broke. Sometimes the right answer is not to copy the sample but to change the material or the geometry, and that is discussed before the order.

How many parts is it sensible to order?

Make-to-print carries a substantial set-up component — tooling, the program, the first article — and it barely depends on quantity. So one part costs disproportionately much while several change the picture markedly. A sensible quantity is calculated from your replacement statistics, not from the plant minimum: we show the calculation and the decision stays with you.

What if there is no drawing at all?

We work from the sample: we measure the part, determine the material from the operating conditions and agree the control dimensions. A worn part differs from the original, so some dimensions are reconstructed by calculation — that is stated separately.

Can you always find the part?

No. For some items the data is insufficient, or manufacture makes no economic sense at the required volume. In those cases we say so straight away rather than after weeks of correspondence.

Send us the task — we come back with options

A drawing, a photo of the assembly, a nameplate, a part number or a description of what has to work. We review the inputs, ask what is missing and show the available options with price, lead time and differences.
