BLESS / Frames

Frames with
assembly in mind.

BLESS presents frame reference components from its company photo archive. For a new frame project, the customer drawing defines the geometry, material, mounting interfaces, machining and acceptance requirements.

Look at the features
that define the fit

Frame reference components with machined mounting faces, openings and connection features. The images are reference parts, with the actual specification confirmed against your own drawing.

  • Mounting facesIdentify the faces that locate or support the surrounding assembly.
  • Hole relationshipsSpecify the location and relationship of mounting holes and connected interfaces.
  • Overall geometryProvide the drawing dimensions and datums used to check the complete frame.

Frequently asked questions

What does a custom aluminum casting supplier need to quote an OEM component?

Provide a drawing with its revision, the intended application, estimated order quantity and project stage. Identify the required material specification, critical dimensions, machining, surface requirements and inspection records. If an item is undecided, mark it for discussion rather than assuming a standard specification.

Can an aluminum casting also require CNC machining?

Yes. Casting establishes the basic component shape; CNC machining may be specified for features such as mating faces, bores and threads. Mark these requirements on the drawing, including datums and dimensional requirements, so casting and machining can be discussed as one project.

Are the photographed components standard products available from stock?

The photographs are references from the BLESS image library. They do not establish inventory, a standard specification or the casting process used for a part. Send your own drawing and requirements to discuss a custom component.
