Equipment
In addition to our all our engineering,
we perform nearly all our manufacturing processes in house.
Here is
a list of our equipment.
Shearing:
Alloy Fabricators is capable of shearing any
type of sheet metal.
Typical materials are carbon steel, aluminum, and stainless. Shearing
accuracy is normally between .007" and .020". The lighter the gauge,
the more accurate the cut. Standard stocked sheet size is 48x120.
Parts are cut to customer specifications.
CNC Punching:
Our 33 ton Amada
Pega Turret Press can punch holes at 220 hits per minute, with accuracy over
the entire sheet of .004". It's versatility allows it to punch 7ga.
steel at the heavy end, to .032 aluminum at the light end, with no drop off
of accuracy. With one reposition we can process a 40 x
100" sheet. To ensure speed and accuracy, interior holes, and outside
boundaries of the piece
are punched in one setup. We carry a wide range of standard hole sizes
which include: rounds, obrounds, rectangles, and more.
Forming:
Our 100 ton x
10' Amada Press Brake is the ideal compliment to the Amada Turret Press.
Highly accurate punched flat pieces turn into highly accurate formed parts.
Flange dimension accuracy can be held to less than .010",angularity to 1
degree. 120" of 11 ga. steel can be bent to 90 degrees as well as 2"
of 20 ga. Programs are stored on the computer making repeat runs less
time consuming to set up. Complimenting the RG-100, is an Amada RG-50
- 50 ton 5' press brake. This machine is normally used for long runs of
small pieces and special applications.
Tube Bending:
We have a
CNC Pines tube bender in house, as well as an Ercolina three roll
bender. From tight corners to sweeping curves, we can find a way to
manufacture all your tubing projects. We have a variety of tooling
ready to use with your design, and we have the ability to create the
necessary dies for your specific needs.
Welding:
Our skilled
welders have the experience and the equipment necessary to professionally
handle your welding needs. We can MIG, TIG, Braze, and Silver Solder
in house. Carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and brass can all
be fused or welded here. Complimenting our welding department is a
fully equipped grinding and polishing area. This means your welds are
reliable and they will look good too. Combine these services with our
powder coating, and it's sometimes impossible to see the welds. Let us
take a look at your weldment and we can come up with a solution.
PEMSerter
(Insertable Fastener Machine):
Insertable
fasteners are the perfect way to include threads in thin sheet metal.
These economical fasteners give us the flexibility to include both
threaded nuts as well as studs in our designs. Aside from the
usual threads, there are many other features such as tie downs and panel
fasteners that are all "pressed" in using our PEMSerter machine.
CNC
Machining:
One of our
newest machines, our HAAS CNC machining center has been a welcomed addition
to our company. This 3 axis machine can be programmed directly by the
operator on the floor, or by an engineer in the office. It's accuracy,
repeatability, and ease of use make this machine a prime choice for our cost
reduction and quality improvement goals.
Inspection
Equipment:
The best way
to insure our parts meet our customers specifications is to properly
inspect them during fabrication. We have a granite surface plate,
digital height gauges, parallels, squaring plates, and pin gauges.
A trained inspector uses these tools to verify the features of the
pieces we make. As an added service to our customers, we also
offer official "in process" inspection (to satisfy quality
requirements).
