| PEEK | Custom machining | Drawing-based parts; specify grade, critical dimensions and tolerances. |
Dimensions and machining
Supply specifications
Quote by product reference or drawing. State tolerances explicitly; nominal dimensions alone do not define the acceptance specification.
| Product form | Dimensional reference | Order details |
|---|---|---|
| Wear rings | Finished ring and groove dimensions; section drawing | Material grade, tolerances, cut configuration and quantity |
| Guide tape / wear strip | Width × thickness; cut length or installed diameter | Material grade, end gap, supply format and quantity |
| Custom-machined POM / PEEK | Controlled part drawing and revision | Specified grade, critical tolerances, quantity and acceptance requirements |
Order and quality control
Define the specification. Agree the acceptance criteria.
Inspection and documentation requirements belong in the purchase specification, alongside dimensions and material.
Inspection scope
Dimensional and visual checks follow the agreed specification. Define critical dimensions, tolerances and any additional inspection requirements with the inquiry.
Documentation
Request inspection reports, material statements or traceability information with the quotation. Document availability and scope are confirmed against the order.
Repeat purchasing
Use the confirmed specification for repeat orders. Quote your approved part reference and drawing revision, with any changes identified.
Inspection against the agreed drawing
Auter uses optical profile projector and height-gauge equipment for dimensional checks. Identify the dimensions and tolerances requiring inspection in your drawing or order specification.
For packaging, part labels, sample approval and delivery schedules, include your requirements with the RFQ so they can be addressed in the quotation.

Purchasing and specification questions
Which material information should accompany a purchase specification?
State the material family and required grade. For filled PTFE, include the filler type and content or approved compound reference where specified. For reinforced resins, include any controlled material specification.
Can POM and PEEK parts be custom machined?
Yes. Submit a controlled drawing showing the material grade, dimensions, tolerances and revision, together with quantity and acceptance requirements.
Where are regular WST sizes listed?
The WST product page lists regular width × thickness cross-sections. Include cut length or installed diameter, end-gap requirements and quantity with the inquiry.
Can inspection and material documents be included?
State the required reports, material statements and traceability requirements before order confirmation. Availability and scope are agreed for the specific order.
