Because we treat all of our products as semi-custom, we have a well-established approval process as follows:
- Customer specification gathering
- Quote to spec
- MTS quotes a spec
- Customer review of quote
- Repeat 2.a and 2.b as required to refine spec
- Customer purchase of equipment
- Design, in collaboration with customer
- MTS internal design, detailed technical communication as required
- Drawings (and 3D models on request) sent to customer for approval
- Repeat 4.a and 4.b as required to refine design (restricted by scope of purchased spec at step 3)
- Customer signs approval drawings, delivery clock starts
- MTS goes into production
- Long-lead purchase begins
- Machining and fabrication begin
- Project purchasing
- Assembly
- QC and leak-check
- Shipping
The bottom line is that our quote includes all of the engineering required to get you what you need.
