How Does the CNC Precision Machining Factory Quote? How to Calculate the Cost?

58   |   Published by VMT at Nov 10 2022

 

 

 

Material cost is a certain main difference. The main difference lies in the different labor costs, transportation costs, consumption costs and taxes of each company. So how do these CNC machining factories calculate?

 


The following is a part of the data compiled by VMT for reference (due to the differences in the calculation method due to the different prices in different places)

 

 

 

 

Detailed calculation method of precision CNC machining factory:

 

 

1) First of all, you can ask the other party to provide preliminary process arrangements for key or complex parts, detailing each process and the time-consuming of each process.

 

2) The cost of CNC machining can be calculated according to the hourly cost of equipment required for each process. You can also ask the supplier for the specific equipment cost. For example: ordinary vertical plus is between ¥60~80 per hour (tax included); ordinary equipment such as milling machine and general car is generally ¥30.

 

3), in proportion to the packaging and transportation, management costs, tooling tools, profit is the price. Of course, the price will have a lot to do with the annual purchase volume and difficulty of the parts to a certain extent. It is also easy to understand that there will be a lot of price difference between a single piece and a batch.

 

 

 

 


Rough estimation method of CNC machining:

 

 

 

1) For large pieces, the volume is larger and the weight is heavier.

 

 

The difficulty is average: the CNC machining cost is about 60 yuan/hour with the entire optical tool curve grinding cost.

200 lathes, 20 yuan/hour,

30 yuan/hour for a lathe above 300,

Milling machine 20 yuan/hour, drilling 15 yuan/hour,

Boring machine 35 yuan / hour,

Grinder 30 yuan/hour,

Slotting bed 15 yuan/hour,

Bull head planer 20~25 yuan / hour,

Longmen planing and milling 30 yuan / hour,

Rolling machine (rolling steel plate thickness below 20) 60 yuan / hour,

C620.C6140 is basically 20 yuan an hour,

30 lathes are 30 yuan an hour,

Liche 50 lathes cost 60 yuan an hour,

Rocker drill is 20 yuan an hour,

T68 boring machine 30 yuan per hour,

The ratio of the raw material cost of the parts is 1:1, and this ratio is inversely proportional to the purchase volume;

More difficult: The ratio of CNC machining cost to the raw material cost of the entire part is about 1.2~1.5:1, which is inversely proportional to the purchase amount;

 

 

 

CNC machining center

 

 

 

2) For small and medium pieces

 

 

The difficulty is average: the ratio of CNC machining cost to the raw material cost of the entire part is 2~3:1, which is inversely proportional to the purchase amount;

 

More difficult: The ratio of CNC machining cost to the raw material cost of the entire part is 5~10:1, which is inversely proportional to the purchase volume;


Due to the great process flexibility of CNC machining, that is, a part can have many kinds of process arrangements, so the cost is of course different, but CNC machining suppliers sometimes give you a complex process to increase the price when quoting, and In actual production, other simple processes will be used, so the purchaser's own reading of drawings and knowledge of parts processing will determine your grasp of the cost. Therefore, the procurement of CNC parts requires more comprehensive knowledge of CNC machining.

 

The composition of CNC machining costs is generally given according to the working hours!

 

If you want to process a workpiece, the first is the material cost of the other party; then some travel expenses for purchasing the workpiece (generally none);

 

The most important thing is the machining time required for the workpiece you want to CNC process. Generally, the lathe is 10-20 yuan/hour, and the fitter is a little less about 10-15/hour; the rest are not listed;

 

If there are no ready-made tools (such as knives, molds), you need to bear part or all of the purchase cost; the final addition is the CNC machining cost you have to pay!

 

Material costs, machine depreciation, labor costs, management fees, taxes, etc. are basically required. Or material costs, processing costs and taxes, as well as business costs, transportation costs, and budgeting requires a thorough understanding of the market. Often feel emotional! Don't pay attention at all!

 

Process problems should include material costs, processing costs (the processing price used is different), equipment depreciation costs, worker wages, management fees, taxes, etc. It is mainly to first determine the process, that is, the processing method, and then calculate the man-hours according to the process, and determine the basic processing cost of a single part by the man-hours, plus other costs. Craftsmanship is a very complex knowledge. A part adopts different craftsmanship, and the price is different.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In fact, the price of labor hours for various types of work is not fixed. It will vary according to the difficulty of the workpiece, the size of the equipment, and the performance. Of course, the key depends on your quantity, but generally speaking, it has a basic price, floating between base prices:

 


1. Basic price of the car: 20-40

 

The specifics depend on the actual situation. For small pieces, the simple working hours are less than 20 yuan; sometimes it is even only 10 yuan.

For example, for some large pulleys, the CNC machining allowance is large, and the boss only earns the money of cast iron powder;

Sometimes if the workpiece is large, it can be higher than the one that cannot be processed on the market, two or three times, and no one else can do it.

 


2. Basic price of grinding: 25-45

 

3. Basic price of milling: 25-45

 

4. Basic price of drill: 15-35

 

5. The basic price of planing: 15-35

 

6. Basic price of wire cutting: 3-4/900 square millimeters

 

7. Basic price of EDM: 10-40, generally 50/piece for a single piece (less than 1 hour)

 

8. CNC basic price: 2-4 times more expensive than ordinary ones

 

9. Engraving: generally single piece, 50-500/piece

 

The above prices are for reference only. If you have any experience, I hope you can also share it with us.

Due to different regions, different times, different CNC processing factories, different buyers, different suppliers, different quantities, there are many differences, and the prices are also very different, and there is no certainty. However, it is generally charged according to the processing hours, and a reference is as follows (the figures are only for reference, and the differences between regions and times are very large).

 

 

 

 

This information does not include electrical processing, such as wire cutting, which is generally charged based on the area to be processed. "Charge Standard for General Machining Parts"

Generally, the wear amount of the parts of the bearing platform is less than 2MM, the diameter is less than 40MM and the width is less than 25MM, each 5 yuan, needs to be placed on the center frame, or the base price*2 is charged for the length greater than 1.7 meters. If the diameter is larger than 40MM, it will be charged as diameter*0.2.

 

 

 

 

3. CNC milling machine processing general keyway processing

 


(Aspect ratio is less than 10) key slot width * 0.5 charge (Z lower 5 yuan). If the aspect ratio exceeds 10, it will be charged according to the aspect ratio * base price * 0.1.

 

If there are strict location requirements, the base price*2 will be charged.

 

The processing of materials with hardness greater than HRC40 will be charged at the base price*2.
