Precision Machining Supplier Needed for Anodized Aluminum Manifolds

An automation equipment manufacturer is sourcing a machining partner for recurring production of five aluminum manifold components. Parts require multi-axis milling, drilled and tapped ports, deburring, cleaning and Type II anodizing. Annual volume is expected to range from 400 to 1,800 units per part number.

Suppliers should quote prototype, first-article and production quantities, including material, machining, finishing and inspection. Proposals should state lead times, minimum releases, capacity, tooling charges, freight and the process for engineering changes and non-conforming material.

Parts must conform to buyer drawings, geometric tolerances, surface-finish requirements and thread specifications. Material certification and finish certification are required. Critical ports and sealing surfaces must be protected from damage and contamination. First-article inspection is required before production release, followed by lot inspection records. Any deviation, repair or process change requires written approval.
