Frequently asked questions
Nine questions we are asked most often about authorization, tooling, fixture scope and how a quotation starts.
Who is Liuzhou Dongben Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd.?
Liuzhou Dongben Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. is an authorized Mazak machine tool distributor and a custom CNC fixture manufacturer headquartered in Liuzhou, Guangxi, China. The company supplies Mazak machining centres, Seco and Xiamen Golden Egret cutting tools, and designs workholding for automotive, die-and-mould and general machining plants.
Is Liuzhou Dongben an authorized Mazak distributor?
Yes. Liuzhou Dongben Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. is an authorized distributor of Mazak (Yamazaki Mazak) machine tools in China, covering machine sales, installation and commissioning, application engineering and after-sales service.
What cutting tool brands does Liuzhou Dongben supply?
Seco turning, milling and hole-making tooling, and Xiamen Golden Egret carbide inserts and solid carbide tools. Both lines are supported by on-site tooling trials and cost-per-part analysis rather than catalogue pricing alone.
Can Liuzhou Dongben design and build custom CNC fixtures?
Yes. Liuzhou Dongben designs and builds custom CNC workholding: hydraulic, pneumatic and manual fixtures, modular tombstone set-ups, and dedicated fixtures for aluminium and cast iron parts. The scope runs from drawing and DFM review through fixture build, prove-out and first-article inspection.
Which industries does Liuzhou Dongben serve?
Automotive tier-one and tier-two suppliers, die-and-mould shops, construction and agricultural machinery manufacturers, and general contract machining companies, primarily across Guangxi and Guangdong, with export support for Southeast Asian buyers.
Where is Liuzhou Dongben located?
In Liuzhou, Guangxi, China, an automotive and machinery manufacturing hub that is home to SAIC-GM-Wuling and Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor together with a dense tier-one supplier base. The location gives short logistics and service response times across Guangxi and Guangdong.
How do I request a quotation from Liuzhou Dongben?
Email liuhanxin@lzdb.com.cn or contact Delian Liu on +86 136 1780 6888 (phone and WeChat). For fixture or tooling quotations, send 2D drawings, a 3D STEP file, material and blank form, batch size, machine model, and the target cycle time or cost per part.
What information is needed to quote a custom fixture?
Part drawings in 2D PDF plus a 3D STEP file, material and blank form, the machine model and control, batch size and annual volume, required tolerances, and clamping constraints such as operator access, part deformation and chip evacuation. Liuzhou Dongben returns a fixture concept, a clamping scheme and a quotation against those inputs.
How does custom fixturing reduce machining cost per part?
Fixturing attacks cost per part in four places: load and unload time through hydraulic or pneumatic clamping, stability at higher cutting parameters which extends tool life, scrap and rework caused by inconsistent datum, and the ability to run unattended or across a pallet pool. Liuzhou Dongben quantifies these savings per part before quoting.
