FIVE-AXIS SETUP CHECK

Will the fixture fit? Check pallet load, swivel clearance and tools

A blank inside the axis travels is only the beginning. Use two specific GROB configurations to check the mounted assembly before comparing quotes.

  1. EDM PROCESS SELECTION Wire EDM, small-hole EDM or die-sinking: start with the feature Follow the electrode route, then check thickness, taper, depth and control options. Three exact Baoma records show what a headline specification leaves out.
  2. Machine selection BT30, BT40 or BT50? Select the machine around the part, not the taper number Three reviewed machines show why spindle interface, work envelope, table load and tool package must be checked together before a CNC RFQ.
  3. Machine selection VMC or gantry? Check the real work envelope before the RFQ Use travel, table load, column spacing and spindle height together. Four reviewed Chenghai and Haite models show where a nominal fit can fail.
  4. RFQ Freeze the print before you RFQ a China CNC plant Most delayed samples are a moving drawing, not a weak mill. Lock revision, balloons and material heat before anyone quotes a first article.
  5. Process What ±0.005 mm means on 5-axis vs Swiss vs gantry in China A ±0.005 mm callout is a process claim. Match 5-axis, Swiss turning or gantry before you RFQ — the number alone is not a spec.
  6. Standard Document Verified vs Onsite Audited China CNC plants Two public grades on CNCVerified. License and English datasheet, or a dated SGS, TÜV or BV walk-through plus nameplates. Nothing else is a listing.
  7. Certification How to read IATF 16949, AS9100D and ISO 13485 on a China CNC listing A banner logo is not a certificate. Scope, legal entity and expiry have to match the part family before you RFQ.
