With locating pins that can
be configured to
individual specifications,
MISUMI is offering an economical
alternative to application-specific inhouse
production. There are no
small-volume surcharges and delivery
times are comparatively fast.

The company says that if two
different types of application-specific
locating pins are produced in house, it
can typically take 20 days. In contrast,
items ordered from its online
catalogue will have lead times that are
up to 60% shorter. Cost is also said to
be up to 65% less.

The drawings are generated
automatically based on the customer’s
particular specifications and can be
viewed at any time as 3D or 2D CAD
files. Orders are submitted with a few
clicks of the mouse and the custommade
locating pins delivered just
eight days later.

If batch sizes fall within the
discount structure, the customer
benefits from price reductions as well
as fast delivery times.
