Turnkey and Assembled Solutions with 3, 4 and 5-Axis Milling in San Jose from Advanced Precision Machining & Forming

Buying many small parts from many sources creates its own work. Each part needs an order, a delivery and a check. A turnkey approach tries to reduce that load. Advanced Precision Machining & Forming, Inc. is a Silicon Valley shop listed here as founded in 2010, offering 3, 4 and 5-axis CNC milling and live spindle CNC turning, plus turnkey and assembled solutions, manufacturing engineering support, and fast turn and production orders. The listing shows ISO 9001:2015, as stated on the site. This page explains the terms and how to prepare a request in San Jose.

What turnkey means

Turnkey means the shop manages a project from start to finish. It may machine the parts, arrange finishing and assemble the result. You receive a finished product or sub-assembly, not a pile of components. It saves coordination for the buyer, but it needs clear instructions, since the shop is responsible for more steps.

Assembled solutions

An assembled solution is a group of parts joined together. It could be a machined housing with a bearing, fasteners and seals. To get one, send an assembly drawing, a bill of materials and any torque or fit requirements. If you supply some components yourself, say which.

3, 4 and 5-axis milling

A 3-axis mill suits flat parts and simple shapes. A 4-axis mill adds a rotating table, so it can reach around the sides. A 5-axis mill adds another rotation and can cut complex surfaces. The listing names all three, so a shop can pick the lowest cost route that meets the drawing.

Live spindle turning

A live spindle lathe has powered tools, so it can drill and mill on a round part without moving it to a mill. That makes it a good fit for turned parts with flats, slots or cross holes.

Manufacturing engineering support

The listing mentions manufacturing engineering support. That can include help planning how a part will be made, how it will be held and how it will be checked. Ask for suggestions on a drawing before you commit to a large order.

Fast turn and production orders

The listing names both fast turn and production orders. Fast turn work focuses on speed, with small quantities and short deadlines. Production orders focus on steady supply and repeatable quality. Say which you need and what date works.

Founded in 2010

The listing says the shop was founded in 2010. A newer shop may be very current in its equipment and methods. Whatever the age, a sample or first article tells you how it works.

How to plan a turnkey order

• Decide who supplies each component
• Send an assembly drawing and a bill of materials
• Describe finishing, such as anodize or paint
• Say how parts should be packed
• Agree on delivery in one shipment or several
• Ask who inspects the final assembly and how

What to include in an RFQ

• Drawings and 3D models with revision
• Material and grade
• Quantity now and later
• Critical tolerances
• Finish
• Assembly instructions
• Delivery date

Allow for finishing time

When a project includes outside finishing, build the lead time into your plan. Ask the shop which steps happen in house and which are arranged elsewhere.

Why a Silicon Valley shop

Teams building products in this area often work against tight launch dates. A local supplier can help by shortening shipping time and making meetings easy.
