MISUMI USA starts full e-commerce services

Misumi has made it easier than ever before to procure custom components.

Now on www.misumiusa.com, you can search, configure and order custom components, all with just a few keystrokes. This new feature greatly enhances our ability to ship custom components to you quickly and efficiently.

Fulfilling our Customers' Needs

Misumi Custom Mechanical Components for Assembly Automation, Inch and Metric Catalogs contain over 180,000 "types" of products. Many of them are configurable to match your exact specification.

This enables users to order parts without a drawing, and use them as soon as they arrive, without additional machining. But some customers told us that the offering is so extensive, and the catalog so huge, that sometimes it was quite difficult to find things.

New Web capabilities - Easy Searching

Our new website allows various search capabilities. Search by product category, by the application that you intend to use it in, or by keywords.

But we realize that finding the correct product takes more than that. Once you have narrowed down the search and found the approximate shape of what you want, take a look at our detail pages. You'll find material, surface treatment, and hardness data plus schematics and tables showing all of the dimensions you can choose from. Many will have alteration options available too. You can even check if the product is RoHS compliant.

Easy Configuring

If the product seems right, you can start configuring. The Misumi website will allow you to configure the part online. Select the dimensions as needed, and click generate.

The part number will be generated, and the price and production times will be shown. Production time is how many days it takes to manufacture or machine the part, and ship from our warehouse in Elk Grove Village, IL. Pricing shown initially is standard pricing. For order quantities of 5 or more, most products will have pre-set volume discount rates. If you'd like to know exactly how much discount you will get, drop it in the shopping cart and request a quote. But before you go on, don't forget that you can also download the 3D CAD file.

Easy Ordering

In the past Misumi has required customers to open a corporate account. This involved a credit check of your company, and required some time. This may have been an obstacle for first time users. Now, the Misumi website offers a quick and easy way to get started. Just use your credit card.

Once the part number is generated, and saved in a shopping cart, you are ready to request a quotation. A quotation will provide exact pricing, and accurate timing for shipping the parts out.

Confirm the results, and when you are ready to order, just input your shipping and credit card information. You can also come directly to this quotation/ordering screen if you already know your part number, or have saved information in the past.

Other Features

Besides basic capabilities, we have solved some issues that many of our customers have.

• User Login: Your ordering information is saved, so that if you need to order again, your don't have to re-type everything.
• CAD: If you just need the CAD file, and ordering is someone else's job, then click our CAD links. You can download CAD files in just about any native CAD format.
• Express Service: Misumi offers Express production services for an additional cost. For example, a precision linear shaft with both ends tapped, can be shipped out the same day, for an additional charge of $16. Available express options are shown simultaneously with standard pricing, as soon as you generate a part.
• History: Do you need to re-order the same part again, or order a part that you decided to postpone during a previous project? Retrieve your quotation and order history. You don't need to look for it again in the catalog.

These services are the first of Misumi's global initiatives to providing full-scale e-commerce capabilities to our customers worldwide.
