06 / Spec checklist
8 points before sending a line selection spec
What the spec must contain for a fast and accurate calculation and equipment selection. Missing data means clarifications and longer lead times.
Rule 01 / 08
Product range and drawings
Drawings + 3D models + 1 reference sample
Better with 3–5 typical positions than the whole catalogue.
Rule 02 / 08
Annual production program
Pcs/year + seasonality · work schedule (1 / 2 / 3 shifts)
Defines the required output rate and machinery makeup.
Rule 03 / 08
Quality requirements
IT grades, Ra, inspection procedures, AQL
Affects the equipment class and CMM configuration.
Rule 04 / 08
Floor space and infrastructure
Line footprint + utilities (electricity, coolant, air)
Equipment dimensions are limited by the site.
Rule 05 / 08
Budget (CAPEX + OPEX)
Capital costs + OPEX/year estimate
Affects the choice of brand and specification.
Rule 06 / 08
Launch deadline
Target date for reaching serial output
We choose the class with delivery lead times in mind.
Rule 07 / 08
Regulations and certification
Product / line certification requirements
Determines the documentation and acceptance.
Rule 08 / 08
Infrastructure readiness
Staff, IT systems, warehouse, logistics
We match the interface complexity to the customer's readiness level.
07 / Spec documentation
What to send for a line calculation
The more detail up front — the more accurate the calculation. If some data is missing — we fill in the questionnaire together.

11 / FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01What budget is needed to launch a line?
Depends on the machinery and the series. Typical machining for 50,000 pcs/year — from RUB 30 million for equipment plus RUB 5–8 million for routing and tooling. We prepare a calculation for your specification within 1–2 weeks.
02What data is needed for the calculation?
Product drawings, annual production program, quality requirements, floor space for the line, utilities (electricity, compressed air), work schedule. The checklist is in the 'Before sending the spec' block.
03Do you supply equipment or select it?
We select it for the task and negotiate with manufacturers / dealers directly on the customer's behalf. Special tooling, gauges and the route — we make in-house.
04Who is responsible for launch and acceptance?
Our engineering team — at the customer's site. The acceptance program (PMI) is agreed in advance. The result is a launch acceptance report and a maintenance schedule.
05Is operator training included?
Yes, the training program for operators and shift engineers is part of the scope. Handed over together with the operating regulations.
