End-to-end thin-gauge metal fabrication: turret-punch blanking, precision press-brake forming, and press-fit hardware insertion supported by CAD/CAM nesting and bend simulation. Handles prototypes through production with controlled edge finishing and inspection. Typical work includes brackets, enclosures, and chassis with tight hole location, repeatable bends, and installation-ready fasteners.

Custom perforated sheet metal enclosures manufactured for industrial applications

Sheet-Metal Fabrication transforms thin-gauge metals—typically 0.004 – 0.250 in (0.1 – 6 mm) carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum—into finished brackets, enclosures, chassis, and architectural panels. A typical workflow includes CNC laser or turret-punch blanking, press-brake forming, hardware insertion, resistance or MIG/TIG welding, and final deburr/finish, all supported by CAD/CAM nesting and bend-simulation for high material utilization and bend accuracy.

Sheet-Metal Fabrication

Supports high volume production demands, ensuring scalability and competitive cost for large-scale orders.

Meets the needs of medium volume production, offering cost efficiency for expanding product lines.

Designed for prototyping and small batch runs, allowing for rapid iteration and testing.

Optimized for low volume production, ideal for market introduction and specialized products.

CNC turret punching uses a rotating tool carousel and programmable X-Y sheet positioning to nibble, lance, form, or fully punch shapes in sheet metal up to 0.250 in thick. Ideal for medium-volume parts requiring multiple hole sizes, louvers, or emboss features without dedicated hard tooling.

Turret Punching

Press Brake Forming uses a press brake machine to bend and form sheets of metal with high precision, making it essential for detailed metalworking applications.

Press Brake Forming

Mechanically installs self-clinching nuts, studs, standoffs, and panel fasteners into ductile sheet-metal using tonnage-controlled presses. Knurled or under-cut features cold-flow the parent material to lock the fastener flush without secondary welding or tapping.

Press-Fit Hardware Insertion (Self-Clinching Fasteners)

Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication

In-house MIG, TIG, and resistance spot welding for thin- to moderate-gauge steel, stainless, and aluminum, supported by fixturing, post-weld dressing, and light mechanical assembly/kitting. Typical work includes sheet-metal enclosures, brackets, and frames with cosmetic TIG seams or production-rate MIG.

Welding & Joining encompasses thermal-fusion and solid-state techniques that permanently unite metal (and some plastic) components. Processes include arc welding (MIG/GMAW, TIG/GTAW, Stick/SMAW, FCAW), resistance welding (spot, seam, projection), high-energy beam welding (laser, electron-beam), solid-state options (friction-stir, explosion, diffusion), and low-temperature joining such as brazing and soldering. Proper joint design, filler-metal selection, heat input control, and post-weld inspection are critical to achieving the required mechanical and metallurgical properties.

Welding & Joining

Gas-metal-arc welding using solid or metal-cored wire with inert/active shielding gas. Offers high deposition rate and ease of automation for steel, stainless and aluminium fabrication.

MIG (GMAW) Welding

Assembly & Integration Services

Welding & Assembly

Mechanical edge finishing and cosmetic graining paired with documented inspection. Includes a trusted vendor network for plating, painting, powder coating, and screening. Verify critical dimensions with FAI reports when requested.

Inspection & Quality Control (IQC) comprises the metrology, verification, and documentation activities that ensure parts conform to drawing/CAD requirements, customer specifications, and regulatory standards. IQC spans incoming, in-process, and final inspection and leverages coordinate metrology (CMMs and portable arms), laser/structured-light scanning, optical comparators and vision systems, surface-form metrology (profilometers, roundness/contour testers), nondestructive testing (NDT), and statistical process control (SPC). Results are captured in traceable reports (e.g., AS9102 FAIR, PPAP) tied to calibrated gauges and controlled environmental conditions.

Inspection & Quality Control

Deburring is a critical post-processing operation that removes sharp edges and burrs from metal parts resulting from machining operations. It is essential for ensuring part functionality, safety during handling, and preparing surfaces for further finishing processes. Deburring can be performed using manual techniques, mechanical methods, or through thermal energy, and is applicable across a wide range of industries where smoothness of the part surface is required.

Deburring

Graining produces a uniform, directional surface finish on sheet-metal parts using wide-belt or brush-based abrasive equipment. It is typically specified as a #3 or #4 finish on stainless steel or aluminum and provides cosmetic appeal, consistent reflectivity, and improved paint/powder-coat adhesion. Graining is often performed alongside deburring in conveyorized systems (e.g., Timesaver machines) and is common in appliance, architectural, and precision sheet-metal applications.

Graining

Surface Roughness Measurement quantifies micro-deviations from an ideally smooth surface using parameters like Ra. It’s key for functional and aesthetic requirements in automotive, aerospace, and medical applications.

Surface Roughness Measurement

Dimensional Inspection verifies that a part’s physical dimensions match design tolerances. Tools include calipers, micrometers, and CMMs, ensuring geometric accuracy of length, width, height, angles, and more.

Dimensional Inspection
