Lanser Supply is a supply network partner for large and non-standard machined parts. When a part is too big for a standard fixture — or too long to turn in one piece on a conventional lathe — we match it to the right floor and own the setup, inspection, and delivery end to end.

Built for the parts shops turn down

Real working envelopes from our core facility and partner floors. These are the machines your oversized part is actually made on — not a brochure spec.

From oversized blank to inspected part

Large parts fail at the edges — fixturing, handling, and verification — not at the cut. We coordinate the full path so a big part arrives straight, dimensioned, and documented:

• Gantry milling (up to 6 m) for one-piece bases, frames, and structures that standard shops can only build by welding
• Long-shaft turning (up to 11 m) for rolls, spindles, cylinders, and drive shafts machined in a single setup
• Horizontal machining (up to ~1.6 m face) for large castings and housings with multiple features in one clamp
• Large-format CMM inspection to 3000×1500×800 mm, with a report per shipment

Where we add the most value

Materials we run on large parts

Common stock we handle routinely on oversized work:

• Structural steels & plates — bases, frames, and weldment alternatives for industrial equipment
• Stainless steel — 304 / 316 class for corrosion-resistant large components
• Aluminum alloys — lighter structural parts and enclosures
• Engineering plastics — POM, nylon, and PEEK where the application calls for it

Material certificates and certificates of conformance travel with the order on request.

By application

Large-format and long-part work tends to show up where standard catalogs stop:

• Automation & industrial equipment — frames, bases, beams, and structural brackets
• Energy & fluid power — shafts, rolls, cylinders, and housings
• Robotics & fixtures — large, alignment-critical components
• Non-standard structures — one-off and low-volume parts others turn down

Tolerances & inspection at size

We hold tight tolerances on large parts and verify critical dimensions on a CMM, with a report issued per shipment. Typical envelopes: gantry milling to 0.01 mm, horizontal and turning work to 0.005 mm, and CMM verification to 0.005 mm. Incoming material, in-process setup, and final inspection are documented so you can confirm what actually arrived — not a render.

DFM before the first cut

Large parts magnify small mistakes. Before metal moves, we review your drawing for manufacturability — fixturing access, stock availability at size, machining versus fabrication trade-offs, and where a one-piece design beats a welded assembly. Early DFM feedback typically saves more than a marginally lower unit price later, especially for low-volume and prototype work.

From first article to volume

The same engineering and production team carries your large part from first article to production — no re-qualification, no new baseline. That matters when a base or frame must be validated for fit and assembly, not just produced as a standalone component.

When a part won’t fit a standard fixture

Our non-standard manufacturing capability — including a 6-meter gantry — handles one-piece bases and oversized structures others turn down. See how we work and why our floors are verified.

Send a drawing of the big part

Send your drawing and we come back with a clear quote and a DFM note, usually within 24 hours — including how we’ll fixture and verify it at size.
