Frequently Asked Questions about Services
Do you manufacture electrodes from custom designs or customer drawings?
Yes, we are direct manufacturers in Mexico and can machine electrodes to your exact specifications. However, we always recommend evaluating the possibility of standardizing geometries (tapers, threads, diameters) to RWMA standard dimensions. This facilitates future replacements, reduces lead times, and gives you flexibility to source from other suppliers without depending on a proprietary design.
Do you have cross-references for Tuffaloy, CMW or CenterLine part numbers?
Yes, we maintain a cross-reference database with major global manufacturers. Brands like Tuffaloy, CMW, CenterLine and Luvata are recognized worldwide and their part numbers are widely used in the automotive industry. If you have a part number from any of these manufacturers, we can identify the specifications and manufacture the exact equivalent using materials that meet the same RWMA specifications.
What is the lead time for electrodes?
It depends on raw material availability and electrode complexity. For standard components with material in stock, typical lead time is 3-5 business days. For special fabrications or when specific material needs to be imported, lead time can be 1-2 weeks. In urgent cases, we can expedite production — just contact us to evaluate options.
How long does a custom design take?
For simple designs, 1-2 days. Complex designs with reverse engineering can take up to 1 week. Subsequent manufacturing depends on complexity and quantity.
Can I send a worn electrode for you to replicate?
Yes, it's one of our most requested services. We perform reverse engineering, generate the drawing and manufacture exact or improved replicas.
What information do you need to quote?
Ideally a drawing with dimensions, desired material and quantity. If you don't have a drawing, a physical sample, photos with scale, or even a sketch helps us get started.
Do you have minimum orders?
For custom designs there is no minimum — we manufacture from 1 piece. For regular production, minimums vary depending on material and complexity.
Do you offer warranty on your products?
Yes, we guarantee that every electrode meets the agreed specifications. If there is any manufacturing defect, we replace it at no cost.
Can you visit my plant?
Yes, we offer technical visits in the Monterrey metropolitan area and northern Mexican states to evaluate applications and propose solutions.
