| Tooling: Our
shop is well equipped for shearing and air bending
steel sections up to 24’ long, with mild
steel shear capability up to 3/8” thick,
and press brake capacity up to 1,000 tons. Overhead
hoists are provided for rapid movement of large
cumbersome sheets, with vacuum lifts and other
attachments to handle your product with minimal
damage. Available press brake tooling includes
right angle and hem dies, gooseneck punches, and
flattening dies, as well as multiple Strippett
punches and a variety of other special purpose
tooling. |
|
| Fabrication:
Many parts require other operations in addition
to shearing and forming. Punching and cut-off
requirements are typically met using our Mubea
ironworker. Structural shapes can also be cut
on one of our band saws, with capacity for I-beams
up to 14” deep. Beam punches and magnetic
drills are used on structural iron, with handheld
plasma cutters and other tooling for other operations.
Our machine shop also includes multiple vertical
mills, pipe threading equipment, drill press,
metal lathe, and other steel fabricating machines. |
|
| Welding:
The welding department includes extensive wire
welding equipment for MIG welding of mild steel,
and we have recently added capability for TIG
welding stainless steel and aluminum. Our staff
is also experienced in assembly of material handling
machinery and similar equipment. |
|
| Finishing:
Metal preparation prior to paint application is
critical. Structural iron is sandblasted prior
to welding for scale removal, and all sheet steel
components are acid phosphatized prior to painting
to remove oil residue and etch the steel for better
paint adhesion. Standard paint coatings are applied
using our electrostatic paint equipment, with
additional equipment for application of special
zinc based epoxy primers and weather resistant
urethane coatings. |
