FREE sourcing support for qualified business buyers, with an eligible benefit of up to 3%. Eligibility applies to qualified business buyers and is confirmed after we review your product, quantity, destination, and sourcing requirements.
The timeline is a tank-integrator checklist, not a promised calendar. Lead time stays unconfirmed until the named factory replies in writing.
Capture drawing revision, vessel diameter, wall grade, circumferential or longitudinal seam, GD&T datums, quantity, EAU and destination. A second tank family is a new RFQ, not a footnote.
Separate robot cell or booth, accessories, inspection, packing, freight, duty, commissioning, and the wire-feed synergic program list. Ask every laser welding machine supplier to price those lines or mark them excluded.
A robot cell and a manual booth are different factories even when catalogs share a tank photo. We route by seam evidence and payload, not by advertising title.
When one bidder omits the synergic program list or extraction, the EXW number is not comparable. We leave those blanks on the matrix instead of inventing a market cut.
Tank family, wall grade, finished dimensions, GD&T, surface or heat-treat after weld, prototype coupon versus production quantity, inspection plan, destination and preferred Incoterm. If CAD follows later, say STEP or DWG in the ticket; this form has no upload field.
Wobble head, wire feeder, the wire-feed synergic program list, seam tracker, chiller, extraction, training seats, spare nozzles and installation days often sit outside a headline machine price. Ask the laser welding machine supplier to state currency and validity instead of implying a perpetual offer.
| Line | Included if named | Usually excluded until written |
|---|---|---|
| Source and head | Rated kW, torch or galvo, cables as listed | Alternate head brands, extra nozzles |
| Motion | Named robot or gantry travel | Fixture design, custom EOAT |
| Process kit | Shielding-gas train and named synergic programs if listed | Bulk gas, purity meters, extra synergic recipes |
| Inspection | Only the reports in the quote | FAI photography, CMM programming |
| Site | None on a typical EXW line | Rigging, pits, ducting, commissioning |
Legal name, manufacturing location and whether the tank robot cell or booth is built there or traded.
ISO 9001 scope, and IATF or AS9100 only if the tank program needs that vertical.
IEC 60825 class, enclosure interlocks, CE or UL panel statements as applicable to the quoted cell.
Written substitute-part rules so a later optics or synergic-program swap is not silent.
