Hardware Assembly
You can specify to have your parts assembled. For example you might want to specify a PEM insert for a metal enclosure or a hinge for a box.
To have your parts assembled:
- Locate a supplier for any required hardware, adhesives, etc. (e.g. mcmaster.com) and get a price.
- On your drawing use Comments To Machinist to specify your requirement. For example:
- "Bolt hinge here (with arrow pointing to holes) mcmaster.com #123456, $5.00 for pack of 10 - $10 total, eMachineShop supplied"
- "Insert PEM fastener - customer will supply via UPS"
- Affix side panels with mcmaster adhesive #123.
eMachineShop can assemble:
- Bolts
- Nuts
- Inserts: PEM, Helicoil, Slimserts, Keenserts, etc. (first create the thru or blind hole using the normal CAD interface). Customer is responsible for choosing proper hole dimensions.
- Hinges
- Pins
- Rivets
- Joining parts with adhesive (e.g. an acrylic box)
- etc.
