Sheet Metal Fabrication
Our skilled fabricators transform raw metal into precision parts and assemblies, with a facility of advanced equipment which allows us to accomplish even the most complex projects. From cutting and forming to finishing, we handle all your sheet metal needs with quality and precision.
Overview of capabilities
With 75,000 square feet of dedicated fabrication space full of state-of-the-art equipment, we offer comprehensive metal fabrication services under one roof. From precision cutting and forming to expert welding and assembly, our team tackles projects of all sizes and difficulty. Our recent 44,000 square foot expansion gives us the space to take on even more challenging projects, keeping our commitment to quality and delivery schedule.
Types of materials we work with:
We process a variety of metals to meet the demanding needs of our clients across nearly every industry.
- Stainless Steel: Corrosion-resistant and durable, ideal for food processing and medical equipment
- Steel: Strong and cost-effective, perfect for structural components
- Aluminum: Lightweight and conductive, great for electronics and electronics housings
- Titanium: Higher strength-to-weight ratio which is crucial for aerospace and medical components
- Copper: Good conductor, key metal for electrical applications
Cutting techniques
Laser Cutting:
Our 12 kW flat sheet laser (BLM) can cut through materials up to 1.25” thick and can cut thinner materials at speeds of 2000 inches per minute.
Tube Laser:
Our tube laser (BLM LT8) handles square, rectangular, round, channel, angle and I-beam profiles, and has drill and tap capability.
Water Jet:
Our water jet can cut up to 6” thick aluminum or steel and can also cut delicate materials such as closed cell foam. The water jet method ensures no heat-affected zones during the cutting process, maintaining material integrity.
Forming Capabilities
We’ve equipped our facility with tools to tackle any forming challenge you bring us. Our state-of-the-art CNC press brakes have automatic tool changing, making quick work of complex jobs. Need long or heavy-duty bends? We’ve got you covered. We’re able to handle bends up to 14 feet long with 247 tons of force, delivering precise results on projects big and small.
Punching Capabilities
Our CNC punch press (AMADA ACIES) efficiently laser cuts, punches holes, shapes, or impresses forms into sheet metal in a very efficient and cost-effective manner.
Welding & Assembly
Our team brings metal together with precision and skill. With expertise spanning gas metal arc welding (GMAW/MIG) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW/TIG), we can cover all your joining needs. We’re proud to have a growing tenured team of nine full time fabricators, averaging 15 years with Steelhead Metal Corp. Whatever your project demands, we have the skill and expertise to deliver quality welds and assemblies every time.
