What does an RFQ submission mean?

Use the form to describe the work you need reviewed. Give the company, contact person and plant or delivery location. Include the part family and quantity. A target date explains your needs. It is not an agreed lead time. State whether the quantity means single pieces, full assemblies, kits or packs. Use the same buying unit as your order.

The site describes types of work and parts that can be discussed. It does not list every machine, material or size limit. It does not show live stock counts. Ask us to confirm the skills and tools your job needs. A page about a part family does not mean a specific part has passed an engineering or production review.

The form shows a reference only after the complete request is saved. Keep it for later questions. A saved request may still lack facts needed for a quote. These could include a drawing revision, material grade, delivery need or approval step. The team may need those details before it can define the work being offered.

No order is placed through this site. The form does not take payment, set a selling price or release work for production. An email, catalog link or uploaded purchase order may be received. That does not mean the order has been accepted. Both sides need to confirm the scope. They also need to agree which written records govern the sale.

For custom work, give the drawing number, revision, units, material and finish. Mark key sizes, datums and the points that join the part to other equipment. Include assembly notes when they affect the result. A concept image or brief description can start a discussion. It may not give enough detail to define a part that can be made.

A model, drawing and note may not agree on every detail. Point out any conflict and confirm which source takes priority. Do not assume that the newest file name settles the issue. A change can affect the process, checks, price and delivery. Name the earlier request when sending a change. Confirm which version is under review before you rely on the quote.

Confirm your right to share files and project details for quote review. Check your company rules and any customer or supplier agreement. Remove personal details that do not relate to the job. The form accepts 1 PDF, DXF or STEP file up to 25 MB.

Your company may need a confidentiality agreement or a set list of reviewers. It may need an approved way to send files. If so, start with a text inquiry. Agree on the process before you send the file. Private storage does not create a separate confidentiality agreement. The form does not establish who owns a design. It does not settle a dispute over the right to make it.

For a standard part, give the RMW part number and the full manufacturer part number. RMW-F-101 shows our catalog format. Keep the maker number separate and include each suffix that defines the version. Add voltage, current, terminal, mounting and interface details where needed. The RMW number identifies the listing. The complete specs still control which part is required for the equipment.

The site does not claim robot OEM authorization or a general guarantee of fit. Similar looking parts can differ between systems. State if you need an exact replacement. Name the person who can approve a substitute. Changes to ratings, materials, interfaces or the part version need technical review. They should not be treated as approved for your project before that review is done.

List any first article, sample, size report or material record you need. Include testing and inspection needs too. These items must be agreed in the scope. They are not included by default. Your company may need approved supplier status or a set production process. Explain that early. The review should set out the records and approvals needed before work is released.

Parts for robot cells, mounts, guards or repairs may need more checks in their final use. The website does not assess your site or approve a full machine design. Name who will approve the use of the part. The quote should show which work or checks remain with the buyer or integrator.

A written quote should name the part or drawing revision and state the quantity. It should give the buying unit and price. It should also explain the delivery basis and any terms that affect release. Agree on shipping, packing, taxes, tooling, checks and payment where these apply. Confirm how long the quote is valid. This page sets no minimum order, delivery promise or reserved stock.

Ask for the warranty, return, cancellation and change terms for the proposed order. This page does not make a single promise that covers all work. Stock and delivery depend on the written offer and the terms agreed for that sale. The date you request is a planning need. It becomes an agreed date only when accepted in the relevant written agreement.

Concept images show the kinds of uses being discussed. They are not photos of equipment supplied by us or engineering drawings. They do not prove that a part fits a named robot. Check product references and technical descriptions against the current specification for the item you need. Ask about details that could change your buying decision.

This page explains how to scope an inquiry. It is not a full sales contract. It does not choose the law that will govern a future sale. Your purchasing team may have terms it needs to use. Raise those at the start. Resolve any differences through the written quote and acceptance process before treating the work as ready for release.
