Types of Metal Fabrication
Cutting – Cutting is a reductive process that removes material from a work piece or divides it into smaller sections. Many projects now call for more precise capabilities than what a simple cutting blade can offer. We conduct precision cuts using two types of methods:
- Precision Laser Cutting: Laser cutters use a high-powered, focused laser beam to create incredibly precise cuts.
- Precision Plasma Cutting: Plasma cutting ignites a gas using an electric arc, which heats the gas to plasma temperatures of up to 40,000°F. The resulting plasma jet can cut any electrically conductive metal.
Punching – The punching process creates holes in metal sheets using a mated die set. Our precision punching technique allows us to automatically position the sheet or plate according to the computer numerically controlled program file.
Bending – Sheet or plate metal is manipulated and bent to a specific angle using the bending process. A press brake uses a set of top and bottom tooling to apply up to 1,000 tons of pressure to a metal plate, and bends that plate to a certain angle according to the customer drawing.
Welding – Welding fuses two or more pieces of metal by applying high heat and sometimes pressure. Multiple welding types are available to accommodate nearly any kind of metal. There are various types of welding processes used to custom-fabricate metal products.
