High & Low Volume Production
Our customers often require two distinct production capabilities – low volume production and high volume production. Our constant investment in the development of a mix of machining technologies provides our clients a single source solution to optimally handle differences in equipment, complexity and run quantity. Our innovative high and low volume production capabilities, which increase net hourly output by as much as 60 percent, easily surpass the competition to deliver component parts with exceptional quality, efficiency and cost-competitiveness.
Production Machining of Medium to high volume, Medium to high
Precision Component Parts
For Thuro, high volume orders translate to minimal labor costs and the ability to spread equipment cost and overhead across many hours. By the time our high-volume production process begins, our prototype and machining experts have already shortened the learning curve associated with most new product launches. High volume orders simply allow us to add more hours to the day to facilitate the ongoing delivery of value to our OEM customers.
The prime industries we serve with this type of production capability are as follows:
- Industrial Equipment Manufacturers
- The Automotive Industry
- Residential and Commercial Heating and Air Conditioning Systems
- The Oil and Gas Industry
The following equipment is used to serve these markets:
- Bar Automatic Single and Multi Spindle Automatics.
- CNC Swiss Machines with Automatic Bar Loaders
- Multi-Turret, Multi-Tasking, High Speed CNC Machine Tools equipped with 12 ft. bar loaders.
Our customers often require two distinct production capabilities – low volume production, and high volume production. Our customers are able to use Thuro as their single source. An example of this is as follows:
The part pictured above is a consumable Cap made from Stress Proof Steel used in Oil Well Perforating with annual demand of 200,000 each.
Industry Served: Oil and Gas.
Equipment used: Multiple Spindle bar automatic.
Machining and Assembly of Low to Medium Volume, Precision
Despite the many challenges associated with low volume production, Thuro always ensures the fastest setups and best setup reduction improvements to provide our customers the absolute best pricing and lead times. Low volume inspection is typically slow, cumbersome and tedious. Our large, capable inspection department ensures production runs smoothly. There are no complicated routing and purchasing procedures. Just seamless low volume production solutions.
The prime industries we serve with this type of production capability are as follows:
- Aerospace
- Defense
- Instrumentation
- Medical
The following equipment is used to serve these markets:
- Multi-Tasking, Multi Axis CNC Turning and Milling Machines
- Multi-Tasking, Multi Axis CNC Swiss Machines
- Wire EDM Machines
Our customers often require two distinct production capabilities – low volume production, and high volume production. Our customers are able to use Thuro as their single source. An example of this is as follows:
The part pictured above is a component part made from 4140 pre-heat treated steel used in Oil
and Gas well drilling requiring 850 pieces annually.
Industry Served: Oil and Gas.
Equipment used: CNC Lathe and Vertical CNC Milling equipment with multiple operations.
Flexible Production Capabilities for Varying Run Quantities
OEMs often require machining support across a wide range of order sizes, from prototype quantities to sustained high volume output. Thuro’s production platform is designed to accommodate both ends of this spectrum, allowing customers to consolidate sourcing and maintain consistent part quality regardless of run size. Investments in multi axis CNC equipment, Swiss machining, and automatic bar systems enable efficient transitions between low volume precision work and extended high volume production.
High Volume Machining for Repeatable Output
High volume production relies on equipment that can maintain accuracy over long runtimes while minimizing labor input. Thuro’s workflow leverages bar automatics, multi spindle machines, and high speed CNC systems equipped with 12 ft bar loaders to support continuous operation. Prior to full scale production, prototype and process development teams refine tooling, cycle times, and inspection methods to shorten the learning curve associated with new product launches. This approach reduces per piece cost and supports consistent delivery for OEM programs.
Low Volume Machining for Complex or Specialized Components
Low volume production often involves intricate geometries, multi operation workflows, or materials that require specialized handling. Thuro supports these requirements with multi axis CNC turning and milling, Swiss machining, and wire EDM. Setup reduction practices and a large inspection department help maintain efficiency even when part families require frequent changeovers. This structure supports prototype development, pre production runs, and ongoing low volume demand.
FAQ
How Does Thuro Transition Between Low and High Volume Production?
Equipment selection, tooling strategies, and inspection plans are adjusted based on run size. Prototype development and process refinement occur before scaling, allowing high volume production to begin with stable parameters already in place.
Which Machines Support High Volume Output?
High volume work is performed on bar automatics, multi spindle systems, CNC Swiss machines with automatic loaders, and multi turret CNC equipment designed for continuous operation.
What Makes Low Volume Machining Efficient at Thuro?
Setup reduction practices, flexible multi axis equipment, and a large inspection department help maintain throughput even when part families require frequent changeovers or complex operations.
Which Industries Use Both Low and High Volume Capabilities?
Oil and gas, industrial equipment, automotive, aerospace, defense, and instrumentation sectors often require both prototype quantities and sustained production volumes from the same supplier.
