Configurability is a powerful option for many designers, engineers, and machinists. MISUMI defines configurability as the ability to select a component to the exact specifications needed, from material and surface treatment to dimension increments as fine as a micron all through an online configurator. Here are some of the ways configurability can empower your bill of materials.
Advantages include:
- Cut-to-length
- Surface treatment & finishes
- Multi-dimensional selections
- CAD models
- Globally accepted part numbers
- No set up fees
- No minimum order quantity
- Components in days instead of weeks
Cut-To-Length
Getting a component to your exact length requirement can save time and design headache. MISUMI carries a variety of components that are cut-to-length including:
- Linear Shafts
- Strut Posts
- Rotary Shafts
- Drive Shafts
- Linear Guides
- Metal Plates
- Ball Screws
- Locating Pins
- Punches & Dies
- Bolts
- Automation Materials
- Aluminum Extrusion
- THK Linear Guides
The Best of Both Worlds
Configurability offers the best of both worlds as it combines the reliability, price, and lead times of stocked components with the design flexibility of a custom component. With some components available with 0.001 mm dimensional increments, getting closer to your exact specifications has never been easier with no minimum order quantity or additional set up fees.
Surface Treatments and Finishes
Surface treatments could be specified for a number of reasons from corrosion resistance to wear resistance. MISUMI offers a variety listed below:
- TiN
- Low-Temperature Black Chrome Plating
- Rainbow-Diamond Like Coating
- Electroless Nickel Plating
- Hard Chrome
- Lapping
- Black Oxide
- Hardened
- Anodized
- Black Anodized
- Milled
- Hot Zinc
- Trivalent Chromate
- Heat Treatment
- AND MORE!
Multi-Dimensional Selections
Your part the way you want it. You are in charge of your dimensions. Select length, alterations, diameter, and even tolerances. Once a part is configured, you’ll get a globally recognized part number, pricing, lead time, and a CAD model. We have a variety of CAD formats available for download including STEP, SOLIDWORKS, and Inventor.
Save Precious Time
Many customers have found that MISUMI configurabiltiy has gotten them extremely close to their design eliminating long machining times. Components that could take weeks to manufacture/machine now take days. Designs can be limitless, allowing engineers and designers to get to their build faster.
