PRECISION METAL FABRICATION
Automatic and manual fabrication solutions for custom parts manufacturing.
A More Comprehensive Precision Metal Fabrication Experience
Precision metal fabrication is an alternative method of manufacturing custom parts out of sheet metal that can involve shearing, stamping, drilling, and other techniques. Vollrath offers a more comprehensive and cost-effective metal fabrication experience by utilizing our breadth of in-house manufacturing specialties, as well as a number of value-added finishing services.
The Vollrath Advantage for Precision Metal Fabrication
When it comes to the precision metal fabrication process, Vollrath Manufacturing Services provides its partners with a number of key advantages:
- Automatic and Manual Welding Solutions
We offer both manual and automatic welding processes to support all your welding needs. Robotic welders are used for welding parts that require accurate weld locations, consistency, long weld paths, or multiple parts with short weld paths. Skilled certified welders are also available to provide you with a variety of options to best suit your part design, including seam, spot, and more.
- Extensive Finishing Services
In addition to our custom metal fabrication offering, we also offer a full range of finishing options to improve the quality and appearance of your finished product, including pickle passivation, bead blasting, and more.
- Quality Control and Testing
Our ISO 9001:2015 certified facilities offer a variety of product testing options, including pressure decay leak test, liquid dye penetrant, and a coordinate measuring machine (CMM)-equipped metrology lab to make sure the produced parts match your approved design.
- In-House Value
From prototype to production, keeping our in-house end-to-end capabilities means less risk and more savings for you.
- Global Sourcing
Our knowledgeable team has the ability to provide you with a variety of material types, quantities, and quality levels from domestic and international suppliers.
- Standard or Custom Tooling
Depending on what your timeline and budget may demand, our in-house team makes sure you have the resources you need to get the job done. That’s why we offer the option of using our vast selection of in-stock tool dies, or working with our in-house tooling engineer to modify an existing die or design and build a new tool that meets the unique criteria of your job.
- ISO Certifications
Our manufacturing facilities are ISO certified (ISO 9001) and we also are knowledgeable about UL, CSA, NSF, ETL and CE standards.
