Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication

Sheet metal fabrication involves manufacturing components by manipulating sheet metal through various means. This is most often accomplished by first laser cutting or turret punching the material, followed by forming, bending, and/or rolling the sheet metal, along with welding and other assembly processes.

Tempco has the capabilities to form, draw, and assemble the small to large sheet metal fabrications that our CNC turret presses and 9,000 & 4,000 wattfiber optic laserproduce. We have a largewelding department, for all your metal fabrication and assembly needs. We can also accommodate the cosmetic needs of your metal fabrication project, with finishing techniques performed by our skilled personnel and our straight-line sanding machines.

The Metal Fabrication Process

Before a finished custom sheet metal work can be provided to the customer, there are numerous sheet metal fabrication techniques that must take place. Sheet metal fabrication comprises several processes and tools depending on the application it serves. All these processes and tools are utilized with a common goal of converting metal sheet into a workable item. These custom sheet metal fabrication types include the following:

• Blanking–The following processes are used for high precision custom sheet metal fabrication blanking: laser cutting, turret press, and waterjet cutting.
• Bending & Forming–This type of custom sheet metal work utilizes machines such as press brakes, folding machines and stamping units to form and bend a sheet of metal.
• Assembly–Certain sheet metal fabrication projects requires assembly work through processes such aswelding, riveting, hardware insertion and adhesive applications.
• Finishing–后metal is formed through any of the above processes, a surface finish of powder coating, plating, or anodizing is applied to the material.

Custom Turret Press Capabilities

Tempco’s recently added Amada EMK M2 Series turret press provides advanced quality custom sheet metal work with the highest real-world hit rates and ram positioning accuracy of any turret press on the market. Thisturret presscan also process 5’ x 10’ metal sheets without repositioning, which saves time and creates more accurate parts and greater manufacturing efficiency. Additionally, the Amada turret’s automated material tower allows for 24/7 production processes, which provides even quicker turnaround times.

Water Jet Cutting Process

Tempco’s OMAX Maxiem 1530water jet cutting machineutilizes a constant supply of high-pressure water that is mixed with granular abrasives to cut and manipulate different types of sheet metal material. The water jet cutting machine’s nozzle directly provides the correct amount of focused pressure and water/abrasive fluid and can be adjusted for custom cuts and designs. The machine’s CNC-operated design allows for multi-axis cutting heads, which can produce ultra-complex part shapes and angled cuts.

Fiber optic laser cutters operate through amplified light that is channeled through a fiber optic cable. The inner lens of the machine then straightens and delivers a hyper focused beam of light that provides extremely accurate cuts. Tempco’s Amada LCG3015 & FOL3015AJfiber laser cutting systemsutilizes a high-powered, 9000-watt & 4000-watt laser, which produces exceptional edge quality and eliminates scrap and inaccurately-cut parts, reducing material costs. Tempco’s fiber optic laser cutting system can also provide 24/7 “lights out” production capabilities, which equates to faster turnaround times.
