Sheet Metal Fabrication

Enclosures and brackets are a volume business — the cost is set by nesting efficiency and by how many bends a part needs, not by the cutter.

Enclosures and brackets are a volume business — the cost is set by nesting efficiency and by how many bends a part needs, not by the cutter.

Fibre lasers handle stainless down to 0.3 mm shim stock and mild steel plate to 20 mm. Press brakes from 40 t to 1100 t cover everything from instrument panels to machine frames, with gooseneck tooling for returned flanges and a bending simulator that prevents collision before the first sheet is loaded.

Joining is done in the same shop: MIG, TIG and spot welding, projection and squeeze-weld nuts, TOX and SPR blind rivets. Welded assemblies are straightened, checked on a granite table and shipped flat-packed when that saves you freight.
