Pressing Trials
PTX offers cost effective press trials in order for customers to establish the feasibility of their projects prior to making a full commitment to the required equipment and tooling. Customers can "Try Before They Buy" at a fraction of the cost, often times with full credit toward the eventual purchase. PTX routinely quotes these services and runs customer trials on a regular basis. The guidelines for these trials are as follows:Guidelines for Pressing Trials at PTX
- The customer must submit a completed Request for Quotation Form #006, along with part drawings for PTX review.
- If after thorough review, agreement is made by both parties that pressing trials are required, a quotation will be submitted to the Customer for trial tooling and lab fees.
- After a purchase order is placed for the above trials and tooling components, tooling drawings will be sent in approximately two (2) days to the Customer for approval. Manufacture of tooling will begin upon receipt of the signed approval drawings.
- When tooling is completed it will be installed in the applicable press (most all of the PTX press models are on site at all times). After parts have been made, Customer may visit PTX factory for a production demonstration, if desired.
- Upon Customer's confirmation that parts have been made to specifications and at the production rate required, PTX will submit a formal quotation for the press, other tooling (if required) and options/accessories recommended for that particular application. At this point, a purchase order can be placed. After purchase order is received, equipment will be manufactured and tested with Customer's tooling and powder. A final visit will then be arranged with Customer for training purposes and acceptance on a turnkey system, after which the equipment will be shipped to Customer's facility.
