Contract manufacturers who specialize in the production of turned metal parts face special challenges. They have to manufacture components with the highest precision and at the same time work cost- and time-efficiently. The use of modular workpiece carrier systems helps to cope with volatile order situations and increasing automation.
ZELL's Factory System offers a variety of competitive advantages for contract manufacturers with large series.
A subcontractor of metal turned parts is a specialized company that produces precise turned metal parts on behalf of third parties. Instead of developing its own products, this contract manufacturer focuses on the precise machining of metal to produce specific turned parts according to the client's specifications and technical drawings. This involves the use of lathes and often CNC machine tools. This service allows companies in industries such as mechanical engineering, automotive, or electrical engineering to focus on their main areas of business while outsourcing the production of turned parts to experts who have specialized knowledge and the necessary machinery.

Contract manufacturers specializing in the production of turned metal parts face special challenges. One of the biggest is quality control. Producing precision turned parts requires contract manufacturers to maintain the highest levels of accuracy and consistency in every production batch. The need to be time efficient is another pressure point. To meet customer requirements and delivery times, contract manufacturers must ensure fast production cycles. However, this efficiency must go hand in hand with adaptability. Varying customer requests mean that contract manufacturers must frequently rearrange their production lines. Balancing these requirements, especially in light of cost pressures, is a constant challenge. Contract manufacturers also face the added pressure of environmental regulations. In modern manufacturing, environmental compliance and waste reduction are essential.
A modular workpiece carrier system can offer numerous advantages for contract manufacturers of turned metal parts. One of the biggest advantages is flexibility. The ability to change components quickly and easily makes it much easier to adapt to different production requirements. These systems also provide unparalleled consistency by ensuring that each part is accurately positioned. The result is consistently high quality and uniformity in the end products. This efficiency and precision also result in significant time savings by eliminating manual setups or adjustments, which in turn speeds up production cycles. From a financial standpoint, modular systems are cost-effective in the long run because they allow for quick adjustments and are less prone to errors. Not to mention their contributions to sustainability. More efficient production processes mean less scrap and waste, which is both environmentally friendly and cost-saving.
