Try A Solution: FAQS
Can I try out the system in my shop before making a decision?
We’ll do you one better than that — you can try out your new system in OUR shop, which we call our Validation center (VC).
Just ship or bring your part, and we’ll fixture it for you so that your team can prove it out by welding it just as they would at your facility. It’s a space that gives you the opportunity to test your fixture off-line, without affecting live production. You can use our state-of-the-art equipment to build your part from start to finish with help and insight from our application engineers.
By the time customers finish this validation process, success is no longer hypothetical. It’s something you can count on.
Can you do a demo at my facility?
Although we’ve done the occasional on-site demo, the real proof of what a modular solution can do happens when we fixture YOUR part in YOUR solution in Bluco’s Validation Center. This allows your team to experience exactly what it would be like to use the solution, and it allows you to see exactly how much hidden potential the fixture can unlock. After you Connect with Our Team, we can work out all the details.
What if I can't go to your Validation Center?
Although we highly recommend proving out your solution by visiting our Validation Center (VC), there are times when that’s not practical. In those situations, our engineers can create a digital simulation using Visual Components software. This virtual environment allows you to see how the solution fits into your space and impacts your staff and workflow in real time. It’s an excellent way to preview the results your modular solution can deliver, giving you the tools you need to decide confidently.
Where can I see a modular solution in use?
We can put you in touch with local users who are able to host visitors, but for a more comprehensive look at our system, we recommend either visiting our showroom, seeing us at a trade show or bringing your parts to our Validation Center.
Can I see machine tooling being used?
Absolutely. We actually use Bluco modular tooling every day to make more Bluco modular tooling in our on-site manufacturing facility. You’re invited to come see our shop, work with the tooling in our Showroom, or prove out your own solution in our Validation Center.
