3.Service that CNC machine manufacturers provide
Except for the CNC machine for sale itself, service is also one of the criteria for choosing a right CNC machine manufacturer. In the case of similar products and fierce competition, it is not so much that consumers buy goods as consumers enjoy services. As a part of the machines, CNC machine service is an auxiliary tool to realize the value of the machines. Good CNC machine manufacturers should be able to provide comprehensive pre-sales, during-sales and after-sales services.
In addition, good CNC machine manufacturers must have a complete purchase process, from inquiry to final after-sales service. The improvement of the process helps to regulate the behaviors of the CNC machine manufacturers and buyers.

4.Production capacity of CNC machine manufacturers
Before making a decision, you need to find out what is the production capacity of the CNC machine manufacturer. Some CNC machine manufacturers only have the ability for prototype machining and small-batch machining. The number of CNC machines and the size of the CNC machine manufacturers is an indication if the CNC machining company can handle either small batch CNC machining or mass production of CNC machine products.
What’s the scale of production of CNC machine manufacturers? The scale of production of a CNC machine manufacturer can reflect the number of orders of the company to some extent. Because the CNC machine manufacturers with large quantity of orders will continuous increase and maintain their scale of production to ensure timely delivery.
Are the CNC machine manufacturers hiring? Similar to investing in a large facility, a manufacturer that is actively hiring shows a burgeoning business. CNC machine manufacturers that need more employees have enough incoming work to warrant bringing in new workers.
Does the CNC machine manufacturer has patents or obtains relevant certifications? Possessing multiple patents and product certifications also can indicate that the manufacturer has good R&D ability and high quality products.
Production capacity of Blue Elephant
Due to the surge of orders, we have put into use a new plant covering an area of 10,000 square meters in November 2020. This makes use one of the biggest CNC machine manufacturers in Jinan, Shandong Province. It can accommodate more workers to assemble CNC machine products at the same time. At present, our monthly production capacity can reach 200 sets. At the same time, we are building the second phase plant of 30,000 square meters. After it is completed and put into use, our monthly production capacity will reach 500 sets.
What’s more, we have been working hard to hire experienced production and assembly workers to meet our production and assembly needs. Especially under the global epidemic context, many CNC machine manufacturers choose to reduce employment or production.

Any delays in transfer at any stage of the process can throw off your own delivery to your customers. To avoid such problematic situations when you choose CNC machine manufacturers, please check their delivery policy.
Will the CNC machine manufacturer provide delivery guarantee? Can you track your order? What does the CNC machine manufacturer do to ensure on-time deliveries?
Delivery ability of Blue Elephant

Other considerations for choosing CNC machine manufacturers
In addition to strength, products and services of the CNC machine manufacturers, there also are other considerations when choosing a right CNC machine manufacturer. For example, the CNC machine price. Many customers may think that the CNC machine price is too expensive. Others may hesitate whether the CNC machine is worthwhile. It is certainly necessary to consider these questions. Because the CNC machine price is relatively high, which may cost you thousands of dollars.
But I recommend that you go for long-term value, not just cheapest price.
When it comes to CNC machining, the best equipment costs a lot for you to invest in, but they produce better results in less time. Besides, too often, low prices mean low quality. Don’t make this mistake. Look beyond the price when comparing the manufacturers. Consider your return in value over the long term, which cost rarely indicates. Well-made orders delivered on time will be a better investment than cheaply produced parts from a cut-rate shop.
Conclusion
Choosing a right CNC machine manufacturer could be time-consuming and laborious, because there are many factors to consider. For example, the qualifications, production capacity, products and services that the CNC machine manufacturer can provide. If you have time, it is best to visit the factory to check their production and make comparisons among multiple CNC machine manufacturers. In addition, you shall also take your budget, the CNC machine price, and the choice of domestic and foreign machines into consideration.
If you are considering to choose a right CNC machine manufacturer, before you start your investigation, please take a look at Blue Elephant. We have been committed to the research, development and production of CNC machine for sale since 2010. And we have been striving to provide better services for all customers.
