RFQ Inputs

What to Send for a Useful Review

These inputs help Axiterm judge feasibility, sample timing, MOQ, and production lead time before quoting.

  • 2D drawing, 3D model, or reference sample
  • Critical dimensions, tolerance notes, and mating features
  • Material, finish, and plating expectation
  • Thread standard, nut, washer, and panel hardware details
  • Quantity range and sample need
  • Application, inspection criteria, and known fit risks

Controls

Manufacturing Risks to Control

Controls should be tied to drawings, samples, mating parts, or agreed acceptance criteria before repeat production.

Dimensional Review

Inspection points are tied to the approved drawing, mating interface, and project-specific critical features.

Thread and Fit Checks

Thread fit, nut engagement, and assembly access are reviewed where terminal hardware depends on repeat mating.

Burr and Edge Control

Contact areas, cable interfaces, and panel mounting surfaces are reviewed for practical edge and burr expectations.

Production Transfer

Sample approval, reference parts, and recurring production criteria are confirmed before volume manufacturing.

Decision Evidence

Evidence Buyers Should Ask For

Use these evidence points to judge whether this manufacturing route can support sample approval and repeat production.

Drawing Evidence

Critical dimensions, thread notes, mating interfaces, and revision basis should be clear before machining review.

Process Evidence

Machining route should connect part geometry with material behavior, tool access, finish route, and inspection points.

Inspection Evidence

Thread fit, contact surfaces, panel fit, burrs, and appearance zones should have project-specific checks.

Release Evidence

Approved sample, drawing revision, and acceptance criteria should become the production reference.

Capability Evidence

Evidence That Makes This Capability Believable

Capability pages should connect claims with practical evidence: process photos, inspection records, material or finish proof, and sample approval notes.

Factory and Process Media

CNC turning, copper or brass machining, insulation parts, plating preparation, assembly, and packing photos or short videos.

Inspection Records

Thread gauges, dimensional checks, appearance zones, fit checks, first-article notes, and project-specific QC sheets.

Material and Finish Proof

Material grade confirmation, plating requirement, visible and contact zones, sample approval reference, and finish acceptance criteria.

Project and Shipment Evidence

Approved sample records, revision history, packaging instruction, label scope, export packing, and repeat-order control notes.

Evidence Media

Factory, Inspection, Project, and Shipment Proof Points

Buyers should see how product claims connect to the workshop, inspection table, RFQ file, and repeat-order controls.

Buyer Confidence

Trust Details Buyers Usually Need Before a Supplier Review

These details help engineering, purchasing, quality, and management teams decide whether Axiterm is a realistic manufacturing partner for a repeatable project.

Initial RFQ Review

24-48h target

For complete drawings, quantity range, material, finish, and application details. Missing inputs are clarified before pricing is treated as final.

MOQ

Project-based

Confirmed after part geometry, process route, sample needs, and recurring order expectations are reviewed.

Samples

Available after review

Prototype, reference sample, or first-article approval path can be discussed before recurring production and repeat order control.

Order Control

Approval-based

Repeat production should be tied to an approved drawing, sample, inspection points, packaging notes, or agreed acceptance criteria.

Who This Information Helps

Controls to Define Before Production

  • Material grade and contact zones
  • Plating or surface finish requirement
  • Critical dimensions and thread features
  • Insulation fit and assembly sequence
  • Functional or visual inspection points
  • Packaging, labeling, and private label scope
  • MOQ, lead time, and sample assumptions
  • Revision control for drawing or reference sample

Project Records That Can Support Repeat Orders

  • - Drawing or sample revision reference
  • - Sample approval notes
  • - Inspection points agreed per project
  • - Material, finish, and packaging notes
  • - NDA, private label, or supplier-replacement notes when required

Certificates and compliance documents are confirmed per material, finish, and project requirement.

Capability FAQ

Questions to Resolve Before Sending RFQ

These questions help engineering, purchasing, and quality teams send a more useful manufacturing review package.

What CNC machining information should be sent?

Send the drawing or sample, material, finish, thread details, mating parts, quantity range, and any critical fit or inspection concern.

Can CNC machining be reviewed without a finished drawing?

Yes. A physical sample, sketch, or mating interface can start review, but production should be controlled by an approved drawing or sample.

Which risks are common in terminal machining?

Common risks include unclear thread fit, burrs on contact zones, panel mismatch, insufficient tool access, and uncontrolled finish zones.

How is repeat machining controlled?

Repeat production should be tied to approved drawings, samples, inspection points, revision records, and packaging requirements.
