Sheet metal is a valid material for all sorts of fabrications, such as manifolds, tanks, covers, flashings and even handcrafted and finished custom batch projects. Getting the right material is important, as is getting the right machinists. The correct gauge and precise measurements from the beginning are necessary. Otherwise, the project will become time wasted.
Precision Fabrication
Precision sheet metal manufacturing comes from skill and experience in the industry. Everything revolves around clear communications and an understanding of the project’s terms and goals. Among other techniques, modern information management can extend to computer databases and modeling software that keep project statistics available and in order, thereby ensuring quality outcomes.
The Manufacturing Process
Common materials for precision sheet metal work include stainless steel, aluminum and mild steel. The manufacturing process also involves a range of specialized and updated techniques using today’s technologies and approaches.
Among them is CNC bending for sheet metal through CNC press brakes. This operation involves pre-programmed machine controls and a common V-block and pressing technique called down-forming, which accurately determines bend points.
Other precision sheet metal techniques involve:
- Laser cutting
- Folding
- Finishing
Types of fabrications include:
- Electrical housings
- Splashbacks
- Catering equipment
- Brackets
- Control panels
- Manifolds
- Flashings
- Covers and machine guards
- Tanks
- Conveyors
- Packing equipment
- Prototypes
- Handcrafted and bespoke items
- Small-batch and large-batch projects
