Web research: catalog product lines of 100 machine-tool manufacturers into a spreadsheet

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We're building a reference database of CNC machine tools. For each manufacturer on our list (name + website provided), you'll visit their site and record their PRODUCT FAMILIES - the marketed series/lines, not individual models - plus which CNC control each family uses, into a provided spreadsheet template. Example of one row: manufacturer "Mazak" / family "INTEGREX i-series" / category "multitasking" / control "MAZATROL SmoothAi" - and paste the URL of the page where you saw each fact. SCOPE - 100 manufacturers total, assigned in batches of 10 (a typical manufacturer has 4-10 product families) - Every fact needs a pasted URL from the manufacturer's own website. "Not stated" is always a valid answer - never guess, never use third-party sites. - A glossary, worked examples, and a locked spreadsheet template with dropdown categories are provided - Some familiarity with manufacturing or machine terminology helps but is not required - Target effort: 10-25 minutes per manufacturer PAYMENT & QUALITY - Fixed price per 10-manufacturer batch, structured as milestones - Milestone 1 is a paid trial: 2 manufacturers (one easy, one complex) so we can calibrate - 1 in 10 manufacturers per batch is independently re-checked; batches that disagree on more than 1 in 10 families are returned for correction before the milestone is released - The control-name field and its evidence URL are the most important columns and are spot-checked closely - We may split batches across 2-3 freelancers; tell us how many batches you'd like To apply: name one CNC machine brand you've heard of, and tell us in one sentence how you'd find which control system a machine series uses from a manufacturer's website.
