Best price = best solution?
The myth of the comparability of offers

What happens when an investment decision is to be made in your company? One thing is for sure: first you will create a requirements and specifications sheet with which offers are collected, and next comes the procedure of comparing them. And when one compares, one usually tends to focus the prices because all offers comply with the specifications sheet anyway and, for that reason, they must be all of the same value. But let's be honest: Isn't an offer merely an accumulation of technical statements, and doesn't its true value show itself not until you implement it in your company? Hasn't everyone already had bad experiences with buys that seemed "cheap" in the beginning? To the user, it is during everyday operation that the product proves its efficiency, and thus value for money. But in which respects?

• short time of installation
• good reproducability
• high throughput
• high availability
• long life

But how do you know whether everything that was claimed in the offer will in fact be fulfilled in reality? Isn't evidence more valuable than promises? If you think so, cast a glance at the pictured testing system. It has, for instance, the following advantages:

• minimum time needed to put it into operation (no more assembly necessary, as system is delivered inspected and ready to run)
• 5 tests per part (cracks, pinhole, material, hardness, thread)
• throughput rate: 5,400 parts per hour (!)
• availability:  95 % guaranteed
• conversion for another part type in less than 15 minutes

Would you also like to profit from this synthesis between testing technology and mechanical engineering? The manufacturer of the displayed system will gladly customise a system which really suits your needs and which you can count on - day by day.
