Replacement Components Recreated from Samples and Technical Data
VTM supports the recreation or modification of industrial components when the original part is obsolete, difficult to source, affected by long lead times or no longer supported by complete drawings. The service begins with the available sample and technical data, then develops the information required for an agreed replacement solution.
A scope built around the component
- 01
Review of the existing sample, assembly, drawing, photograph or available equipment data.
- 02
Dimensional inspection and capture of critical geometry, fits and interfaces.
- 03
Review of material, operating duty and functional requirements, with material verification where required.
- 04
Development of 2D manufacturing drawings and 3D models where included in the scope.
- 05
Tolerance review and design modification where improved fit, maintainability or performance is required and approved.
- 06
Manufacturing, fabrication or machining coordination for the agreed replacement part.
- 07
Final dimensional inspection, fit-up or functional testing and document handover as specified.
What the scope can include
- 2D manufacturing drawing and critical dimensions.
- 3D model where required.
- Agreed material and inspection requirements.
- Finished replacement component when included in the order.
- Inspection or test records according to the agreed quality plan.
Final tolerances, material verification, intellectual-property restrictions and testing requirements must be agreed before manufacturing begins.
