Core Processes for Precision Manufacturing Work
Laser Cutting: Using a 20,000V laser cutter, precision and complex cuts are made on sheet or plate metal (steel, stainless steel, aluminium) in accordance with customer supplied drawings, cutting thicknesses ranging from thin sheet steel (up to 4mm) to mild steel over 25mm. Highly accurate cutting details are achieved, minimising thermal distortion and ensuring smooth edges.
CNC Bending/Moulding: Transforms flat patterns into three-dimensional shapes using a precision pressure brake controlled by a sophisticated CNC system. Achieve precise angles and complex geometries while managing material springback. Handles complex multi-bend parts, tight radius control, and handling of varying material thicknesses.
Welding and Joining: Ensure structural integrity and process quality by using techniques such as spot welding, depending on the customer's material, thickness and strength needs.
Rolling and forming: Using specialised equipment to create curves, cylinders or complex contours from sheet or plate.
Secondary Processing: Using techniques such as drilling/tapping holes, milling, etc. to achieve final critical requirements.
Surface Finishing: Improve aesthetics, durability and functionality through deburring, grinding, polishing, sandblasting and protective coatings (powder coating, painting, electroplating, passivation).
Strategic Value and Tight Control of Customised Machining
Prototyping and small-batch agility: Produce functional prototypes or small batches efficiently for niche markets, avoiding costly tooling investments.
Integrated components: Manufacture complex, ready-to-install units from multiple components.
In-process inspection: Verify dimensions, angles, welds and features at critical stages.
First Article Inspection (FAI): Comprehensive measurement and documentation to verify the initial part against all specifications.
Final inspection: Final approval using calibrated tools such as callipers, micrometers and CMMs.
Documentation and traceability: Detailed inspection reports and material certificates are provided, such as ISO 9001 certification.
Selection of Competent Partners is the Key to Success
Technical expertise and proven experience: Competence proven in the required materials, processes and complexity.
State-of-the-art technology: Investment in modern CNC equipment (lasers and press brakes), welding systems, and software.
Robust quality systems: Clear QA/QC procedures and relevant certifications (e.g. ISO 9001), as well as inspection capabilities.
Engineering collaboration: Active support for design for manufacturability (DFM) and problem solving.
Reliable project management: Effective communication, adherence to deadlines, and reliable delivery.
Scalability and flexibility: The ability to adapt to varying project volumes and changing requirements.
In Summary: Innovation Through Precision
Precision metalworking is a dynamic field fuelled by technological advances, such as laser cutting and welding, as well as automated systems. However, the enduring foundation of the field remains the mastery of the science and art of metalworking by engineers, programmers, fabricators and welders. Thanks to their expertise and unwavering commitment to quality control, precision metal fabricators are the cornerstone of the high and reliable performance that enables innovation across industries. For projects requiring precision, durability and customised solutions, partnering with a precision machining company is an investment in guaranteed engineering results.
