"The standardisation of machine tooling, advances in manufacturing technology and increased demand for the products has created a market that is ideally suited to, and easily satisfied by WDS's multi-channel, fast delivery approach to product supply".
'We have long sold standard parts at highly competitive prices through our extensive paper, CD and on-line catalogues.
We now feel that modern machine tool accessories have reached a similar market position in that they are virtually treated as industrial consumable products.
We have therefore compiled a comprehensive new range of accessories with the introduction of tools to the very latest specifications for the most up-to-date high speed CNC machines at seriously competitive prices and at the same time, reduced the cost of our established products by as much as 80%'.
The existing ranges of tool holders and tooling accessories, including those conforming to DIN 2080 standards have been maintained, but have been significantly reduced in price.
Tool ranges with CNC specifications such as those that meet BT-MAS 403, DIN-C9871/A and VDI standards have been expanded, with many new products lines introduced, all of which have also been subjected to the highly competitive pricing policy.
Along with changing specifications, it has become more common for machine industries to purchase many more accessories to fit multi axis machines and stock for CNC magazines that can hold over 80 tool heads.
WDS has recognised the resulting pressures on costs and used its own manufacturing facilities, high-tech distribution networks and bulk purchasing power to become an extremely price competitive force in the market.
As well as gaining advantages in terms of unit cost, customers using WDS for their machine tool accessories are also set to benefit from the WDS service.
For example, time taken in sourcing can be reduced by referring to WDS expert sales staff who are always on hand to aid specification.
Companies already using WDS can also save on administration costs such as invoicing through consolidating their supplier base.
All tools and components featured in the catalogue are available on next day delivery. Request a free brochure from WDS ...
