Cutting & preparation
Tube, plate and section cutting, coped joints, drilled features and formed parts coordinated around the assembly drawings.
TEMPE, ARIZONA / PHOENIX METRO
Welded machine frames and robotic-cell bases in Phoenix.
Bring the drawing. We’ll coordinate the frame.
Fast DMS brings together fabrication, machining, finishing, inspection and delivery for your machine frame or robotic-cell base. Work with a Tempe-based team to establish the scope and coordinate the manufacturing operations your assembly needs.
Upload drawings, models and supporting files with your inquiry.

01 / CONNECTED OPERATIONSONE AGREED MANUFACTURING SCOPE
From drawing to
finished assembly.
A frame can involve several shops and processes. Fast DMS coordinates the requirements and handoffs, including manufactured parts, purchased components and outside processing.
Welding & fabrication
Frames, bases, brackets and subassemblies with material, weld and dimensional requirements established for the job.
Machined interfaces
Mounting faces, holes, slots and other interfaces. Identify which features need machining and whether they must be finished after welding.
Finishing & assembly
Painting, coating, purchased hardware and assembly operations included in the agreed scope, with finish and masking requirements identified.
Inspection & documentation
Agree on the critical dimensions, fit-up checks, inspection records and photo documentation needed to accept the assembly.
Packaging & delivery
Coordinate packaging and shipment around the finished size, delivery location, handling needs and receiving arrangements.
02 / THE DETAILS THAT MATTERFIT / INTERFACES / ACCEPTANCE
Build around
the interfaces.
The frame has to work with the equipment around it. Identify the features that control fit, alignment and acceptance before the manufacturing plan is set.
Planning the wider cell?- Mounting surfaces
- Identify datum references, flatness and alignment requirements, and the surfaces that locate your equipment.
- Equipment & loads
- Include the equipment layout and the load, support and anchoring requirements established by your designer.
- Holes & clearances
- Show mounting patterns, access for fasteners, cable routes and the clearances that affect assembly or maintenance.
- Finish & acceptance
- Call out finish specifications, masked areas, inspection requirements and the documents needed at delivery.
03 / START A USEFUL QUOTEDRAWINGS / REQUIREMENTS / TIMING
A better RFQ.
A clearer scope.
Send what you have. Use this checklist to communicate the details that affect sourcing, price and delivery.
- 01
Drawings & models
Current assembly and part drawings, revision identifiers, a 3D model if available, and the bill of materials.
- 02
Quantity & materials
Prototype or production quantity, material grades, tube or section sizes, and any approved substitutions.
- 03
Critical requirements
Weld callouts, datums, tolerances, machined interfaces and the equipment or load requirements supplied by your designer.
- 04
Finish & inspection
Coating or paint specification, masking, required checks, records and acceptance criteria.
- 05
Location & timing
Delivery address, required date, handling constraints and any requirement for Arizona-only fabrication.
- 06
Scope & open questions
Identify purchased components, assembly responsibilities, available drawings and anything still to be resolved.
ARIZONA REQUIREMENTS.
DEFINED AT THE START.
Local coordination.
A sourcing plan that fits.
Fast DMS is based in Tempe and serves manufacturing projects across the Phoenix metro area. If your frame must be fabricated in Arizona, include that requirement in your RFQ so we can confirm the production location and delivery plan before work begins.
04 / PROJECT QUESTIONSLET’S ESTABLISH THE SCOPE
Before you
send the files.
Can I require fabrication in Arizona?
Yes—include Arizona-only fabrication as a requirement in your RFQ. Fast DMS is based in Tempe and works through a manufacturing network. The production location, available processes and delivery plan are confirmed for each project before work begins.
Can the frame include machined mounting features?
Machining can be included in the project scope. Show the faces, holes, slots and datums that matter, along with the required tolerances. If a feature must be machined after welding, make that requirement explicit in the drawings.
What files should I send?
Send the current PDF drawings, assembly model and bill of materials you have. STEP, Parasolid and native CAD files can help communicate the geometry. Include revisions, quantities, materials, finish requirements and your target delivery date.
Can I start before the drawings are complete?
Yes. Share the intended use, available layout and known constraints. We can work through the manufacturing questions and establish a next step. Open requirements need to be resolved before a firm manufacturing scope is agreed.
What determines price and lead time?
The scope matters: size, quantity, material, weld requirements, machined features, finishing, inspection and delivery. Send the requirements you know so we can review the sourcing approach and confirm pricing and timing for your project.
