2. VPC Product Customization Process Overview

① Customer requirement collection 

② Technical solution design and confirmation

③ Sample development and testing

④ Customer testing & feedback

⑤ Mass production and quality control

⑥ Packaging, shipping and logistics

⑦ After-sales support and continuous optimization

① Customer Requirement Collection

• Key parameters (pressure, temperature, medium, frequency, etc.)

• Product type (cylinders, valves, connectors, vacuum components, etc.)

• Availability of samples, drawings, or older model references (e.g., alternatives to SMC, Festo, etc.)

• Special material or certification requirements (e.g., stainless steel, food-grade, etc.)

• Cost target, order quantity, and delivery time requirements

Professional technical feedback provided within 24 hours.

*For example, the relevant parameters that need to be provided for customized products such as pneumatic cylinders and solenoid valves include:

Required parameters for pneumatic cylinder	Customer requirements
Model number
Quantity
Operating environment
Operating pressure
Required thrust/pull Force
Installation space
Material (cylinder/seals)
Cylinder bore
Stroke

Required parameters for solenoid valves	Customer requirements
Model
Quantity
Operating environment (temperature)
Operating medium (temperature)
Operating pressure
Actuating frequency
Voltage
Power
Actuation mode  (reversing/direct-acting/piloted/normally open/normally closed)
Flow rate

② Technical Solution Design and Confirmation

• Technical specifications (or 2D/3D drawings)

• Structural design and material selection

• Sealing method and durability analysis

• Cost assessment and production cycle

• Processing technology and mold requirements

If further communication is needed, we will organize video conferences or emails between our engineers and clients to confirm details and ensure the accuracy of the solution.

③ Sample Development and Testing

Project manager follows up on sample production:

• Structural machining / fabrication

• Surface treatment (nickel plating, anodizing, stainless steel polishing, etc.)

• Assembly and calibration

• Leak test, pressure test, life cycle test (based on product category)

Upon sample completion, we will provide the client with:

• Physical samples

• Inspection report

• Test data

• High-resolution product photos (for client's internal evaluation)

The typical sample lead time is 7–15 days (depending on project complexity).

④ Customer Testing and Feedback

• Sample delivery and client testing: You will install, functionally test, and performance-verify the samples in your actual application environment.

• Feedback collection: We will actively communicate with you to gather your test results, user experience, and any suggestions for improvement.

• Solution Revision (if needed): Based on your feedback, we will make necessary modifications to the solution or samples until you are completely satisfied.

Ensuring the product fully meets the client's operating conditions.

⑤ Mass Production and Quality Control

Strictly adhering to the VPC factory quality management system, we proceed to the mass production phase.

Every order includes:

• Incoming quality control (IQC)

• In-Process quality control (IPQC)

• 100% visual and dimensional inspection

• 100% leak test or functional full inspection (based on product category)

• 100% pre-shipment inspection or sampling inspection (based on product type)

• Laser marking (if requested)

The production process is transparent and traceable, and we can provide production progress updates and packaging confirmation.

⑥ Packaging, Shipping and Logistics

• VPC branded packaging boxes; laser marking and customer-specific packaging.

• Inspectors verify product models and quantities against the outbound manifest; confirm consistency of outgoing product packaging methods and product identification content.

• Multiple transportation options are available to meet your varying lead time and cost requirements. Detailed order logistics information is provided for real-time tracking of your shipment status.

⑦ After-sales Support and Continuous Optimization

VPC provides long-term technical and inventory support, including:

• Product installation and commissioning guidance

• Production line usage feedback analysis

• Troubleshooting assistance

• Project tracking and continuous optimization

• Long-term stocking plans for high-volume clients

3. FAQ

① What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

The MOQ varies by product category. We offer flexible support based on client needs. For non-standard custom parts, the MOQ will be confirmed based on structural complexity.

② Can you customize based on client drawings or samples?

Yes, absolutely. We can develop products exclusively according to your drawings, physical samples, or reference brands. We can also provide optimization suggestions to make the structure, cost, and manufacturing methods more reasonable.

③ Can custom products be laser marked?

Yes. We can perform laser marking according to your requirements, including Logo, model number, parameters, and more.

④ Can your products match models from brands like SMC, Festo, Camozzi?

Yes. We can design alternative solutions based on the brand models provided by the client, ensuring compatibility in dimensions, interfaces, and performance.

⑤ What is the typical lead time for mass production?

For standard products: 15–25 days. For complex structures or large orders: 30–45 days. We will provide an accurate lead time before production and regularly report progress during the manufacturing process.
