A Day as a Sheet Metal Fabricator

A Day as a Sheet Metal Fabricator

Blog Article

I am officially clocked in at Junying Metal Manufacturing, and I need to start operating some machines. As a skilled fabricator, I utilize various fabrication processes to convert raw materials into precision custom sheet metal parts.

First up are Cross Section Laser Scanners.

After preparing for the day, I head to the CNC laser cutter. First, I have to load sheet aluminum, stainless steel, or other materials. The laser moves according to the digital design’s profile, whether it is for prototype or production parts. Laser cutting produces clean edges without burrs, and the tolerances are very tight.

Laser Cut Parts — An assorted collection of laser-cut sheet metal parts, ranging from enclosures to bracket components.

Forming Operations

In addition to cutting, I also bend or form parts using bending machines, presses, or other equipment. A complete series of bending operations results in a finished 3D component without any material removal. Formed components are often used as ductwork, housings, or other structural parts.

Last but not least are additional processes.

Drilling, tapping, notching, stamping, and even welding fall under other processing operations. We cater to the needs of designers and engineers across various industries because we have a rich array of CNC machines and experienced operators.

Quality Inspection

A thorough quality inspection is conducted to verify surface precision, check for burrs, and detect any defects before parts are delivered to customers. We take special measures to ensure that we manufacture sheet metal parts of the highest caliber in a timely and cost-effective manner.
