Why RFQ information matters
Custom screwdriving automation is different from buying a standard tool. The supplier must understand the product, screw, fixture, loading method, cycle time, quality requirement, and line connection before giving a reliable proposal.
If the inquiry only says “we need an automatic screw locking machine,” the first quotation may be inaccurate. More complete information allows engineers to judge feasibility, choose the right platform, estimate complexity, and avoid unnecessary cost.
Basic information to provide
- Product photo, drawing, or short video showing screw positions.
- Screw drawing or dimensions: diameter, length, head type, material, washer, and special features.
- Number of screws per product and fastening direction.
- Current manual process and number of operators.
- Target output per hour or required cycle time.
- Product size, weight, and whether the surface is flat, curved, or reflective.
Integration information
- Standalone workstation or inline connection.
- Manual loading, automatic loading, conveyor, pallet, rotary table, or robot handling.
- Need for barcode scanning, MES connection, torque data, or production records.
- Available factory space, power, air supply, and safety requirements.
- Expected delivery schedule and budget range if available.
How Chisu evaluates custom projects
Our engineers first check screw feeding feasibility, product positioning, tightening path, takt time, and quality-control requirements. Then we recommend a suitable direction: standard platform modification, semi-automatic workstation, inline station, vision-guided system, or full custom production line.
For complex projects, a video meeting and sample testing may be necessary before final quotation. This avoids over-promising and helps both sides build a practical solution.
Quick FAQ
Can I get a price without complete drawings?
A rough range may be possible with photos, screw size, and target output, but a formal quotation for custom equipment usually requires more detailed information.
Why do custom machines take longer to quote?
Because the supplier must evaluate feeding, fixture, motion, control, safety, and integration together. A fast but inaccurate quote often creates problems later.
Need a screw fastening proposal for your product?
Prepare your product photo, screw specification, screw count, target output, and loading method. Chisu can then provide a faster and more reliable custom automation assessment.
