Our Process

We are always moving, improving, innovating, expanding and advancing. Our 150,000 square-foot manufacturing facility is equipped with the advanced technology needed to innovate new products. All of our departments have skilled and educated teams who consider quality, service and innovation to be their foundation.

plasma production

Plasma Cutter

At the plasma table, a 2D image is programmed into the computer to accurately cut multiple parts from a single sheet of steel.

saw in production process

Saw

We have one Marvel and two DoALL band saws that automatically measure and cut steel precisely to the dimensions imputed into the computer.

laser

Laser

Our Bystronic 6kW laser is capable of cutting up to 1″ thick milled steel. This laser precisely processes parts by holding a tight tolerance that is used to run through our mill in our machining center. This has created better quality and efficiency in our weld department to accurately fit flat plate parts.

precision machining

Precision Machining

We have three CNC machining centers, allowing 100% consistency and extreme accuracy for precise drilling and machining.

Break press

Press Brake

Our Bystronic 225 Ton Press Brake combines high bend accuracy with the ability to bend complex angles by utilizing our 6-axis back gauge. With the addition of hydraulic clamping, this gives us the flexibility for fast job changes. The 24″ display shows the operator a step-by-step bend sequence from a program that is created off of 3D models of the part that the engineering team has created.

welding

Welding

Our machines are capable of having 10 programmed pre-sets, that allow the operator to change their wire feed speed and voltage for different thicknesses to lay a quality weld bead.

paint booth

Paint Booth

Our 25′ x 80′ down draft paint booth is capable of baking our product after it has been sprayed with our electrostatic process using epoxy primer and urethane topcoat. This allows the paint to be fully cured after 50 minutes of baking at 145 degrees, instead of curing after seven full days at 70 degrees. The result? A durable, beautiful finish that’s quickly ready for the job.

final assembly

Final Assembly

During final assembly, all products with hydraulics and/or engines are tested before they leave our facility. All nuts, bolts and washers are double-checked for tightness.

warehouse

Warehouse

Our facility has 24,000 sq. ft. of space for storage of parts and finished products, and a 28,000 sq. ft. outdoor storage lot. In 2017, we expanded our space to a neighboring 160,000 sq. ft. facility.
