Small Batch Production – Flexible from One Piece Up

Not every requirement fits a rigid pattern: sometimes you need three spare parts quickly, the next time 500 series parts on call-off. JF Zerspanung gives you exactly that flexibility. Our CNC machines are set up for frequent changeovers — which keeps your unit costs down even at small batch sizes.

We produce for machine builders, system integrators, plant and fixture construction and the prototype sector. Whether it is a single piece for a functional test or a small batch of up to 5,000 parts: you receive the same care and dimensional accuracy every time.

🔩

Single Parts & Prototypes

Drawings and CAD data turned around quickly. Ideal for functional samples, initial samples and one-off builds. Lead times from 24 h possible on request.

📦

Small Batches (5–500 pcs)

Economical production at small and medium batch sizes. Repeat orders are run efficiently from stored programs and fixtures.

🔄

Call-Off Orders (up to 5,000 pcs)

Blanket orders with flexible call-off to suit your demand. Stock holding on request, just-in-time delivery, stable prices through annual quantity agreements.

Our Process – from Drawing to Delivery

Transparency and short lines of communication are our standard. This is how your order runs at JF Zerspanung:

1

Enquiry & drawing handover

Upload your drawing or CAD model (STEP, DXF, PDF) through our contact form or send it by e-mail. We check manufacturability and come back to you within 24 hours.

2

Quotation & clarification

You receive a firm quotation with unit prices, batch size, delivery date and payment terms. If questions arise about the design or the tolerances, we advise you directly and in practical terms.

3

Order processing & quality inspection

Once the order is placed, our CAM programming takes over the preparation. During production we check dimensional accuracy continuously on our optical 3D coordinate measuring machine (Keyence VL-500, ±10 µm).

4

Delivery & documentation

Your parts are delivered securely packed. On request you receive inspection records, material certificates (EN 10204 3.1/3.2) and test reports. Repeat orders are possible at any time thanks to the stored programs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Small Batch Production

What is the minimum quantity worth enquiring about?
One piece. Our machines are set up for frequent changeovers, so unit costs stay reasonable even at small batch sizes. At the upper end the range runs to 5,000 pieces per call-off.
Are follow-up parts genuinely identical?
Yes. The CNC program and fixture stay stored, so a repeat order runs without setting up and programming again. That is the difference between two similar parts and two identical ones.
How does a call-off order work?
You place a blanket order for an annual quantity and call it off as you need it. On request we hold stock, deliver just in time, and the price stays stable over the term.
What does an enquiry cost me?
Nothing. You receive a firm quotation with unit prices, batch size, delivery date and payment terms. Where questions arise about the design or tolerances we advise beforehand — that avoids expensive corrections.
Do I get inspection documents for the batch?
On request: inspection records, initial sample reports and material certificates to EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2. During production we check continuously on calibrated coordinate metrology.
How long does delivery take?
Standard 3 to 10 working days. Express from 24 hours on request. On call-off orders we deliver to your schedule, from stock if agreed.
