Some manufacturers, such as pump manufacturers, do not provide spare parts catalogs or model information, which causes great difficulties for us users in using, maintaining, and replacing spare parts. These manufacturers are utterly despicable and shameless; they try to hold on by selling some common components available on the market, in order to survive at any cost, as they’re unable to create their own products! Every time we have to carry out maintenance work, we have to disassemble the equipment ourselves, determine the models and dimensions of the components, and then submit that information for approval – it’s really troublesome. They even refuse to tell us the model number of a mechanical seal when we call them! Some manufacturers also deliberately use so-called special accessories, claiming that they are not available on the market and must be purchased from them! The people who handled the procurement and those who signed the technical agreements don’t know what they’re doing; or perhaps they didn’t consider the future implications of their actions. From the very beginning, it should have been agreed that spare parts catalogs and model information must be provided, ensuring that these parts are widely available and easy to purchase on the market. Otherwise, we won’t buy your equipment! We will never again have any business dealings with manufacturers who cherish such inferior products. We might as well go to the extra trouble of recording the model number of each device or measuring its dimensions; just wait until you starve to death! Do I mean to say that by buying your equipment, I’m like boarding a ship run by thieves, and I’ll have to ask you for help every time there’s a need for maintenance?
Hehe, this is called intellectual property protection; it’s quite normal. It’s to prevent your ability to produce things on your own from taking away people’s jobs. If you would do the same, it’s a common phenomenon. Spares of this type must be ordered using the codes corresponding to the specified locations on the drawings, and they are supplied exclusively by the manufacturer. It should be called “industry practices,” for reference.
The inspection, maintenance, and repair you mentioned require the model and dimensions of the spare parts, and not every pump manufacturer provides this information. When you contact the salesperson, they will surely just give you the model number of the pump plus the name of the accessories; why would they need to provide you with the model numbers and dimensions of the accessories? Furthermore, many pumps on the market are purchased at rock-bottom prices, leaving little profit; or due to business reasons such as unpaid payments, manufacturers hope to make some money from spare parts in the future. . . . .
Different perspectives exist, and whether the pump manufacturers are willing to cooperate depends to a large extent on your company’s purchasing manager. Payments should be made in a timely manner, without any delays or unresolved old debts. . . . .
It’s impossible for the accessories from all pump manufacturers to be universal; there are always some variations, which is probably done to protect the market. The pump as a whole no longer generates any profit. The price of the accessories is only 10-15 points higher than that of the complete unit. After deducting various fees, not much money is left. Now, just sell as long as there’s no loss!
Did you ask the 4S store for the drawings when you bought the car? Did the 4S store give it? Has it affected your decision to buy a car? Did buying it affect your ability to repay the loan? Did paying off the loan affect your ability to get the car repaired? Did fixing the car prevent you from going to that crappy 4S store’s forum?
I think most suppliers won’t provide part drawings; they usually only provide assembly drawings. Different positions lead to different opinions; we need to understand each other: lol
I can’t provide the part drawings; for items that are already part of a standardized series, there are only a few standard components available – it would be silly to provide drawings for them. Do you ask the car manufacturer for part diagrams when buying a car? By that logic, why buy a car at all? Just do everything by yourself.
I think it’s normal; the model numbers are originally created by the manufacturers themselves, and most spare parts aren’t standard items. What do you want from the picture album? Manufacturers who need processed drawings certainly won’t provide them.
The assembly diagram and model information can be provided, but the list of components is a factory secret\ud83d\ude04.
