General MetalWorks Welding Capabilities

We are certified ASME Section IX for MIG (GMAW) and TIG (Heliarc, GTAW) welding, as well as stud and spot welding. Our TIG welding process is also certified to MIL-STD-2219. We have also recently added an IGM ModulARC FW 250 welding robot. We weld a wide variety of parts such as oil and water tanks, truck fenders, hoods, brackets, grills, vending machines, cement mixer chutes and hoppers, and a host of storage containers made from steel, stainless steel and aluminum.

   

Our Mitsubishi Laser Flexible Manufacturing System, programmed with Ncell software, allows us to laser parts on a "24/7" basis. The FMS laser system is supported by a 20 shelf material tower and automated material handling system. This integrated system provides us with a computerized process for lasering exacting parts for many industries including tight tolerance parts for specialized electronic components, point of purchase display units, signs, logos, and emblems. The lasers' minimal setup time also supports rapid prototyping. Equipped with automatic load/unload capability, our lasers can be run unattended, reducing costs and allowing us to pass along savings to our customers.

We regularly fabricate shrouds, electrical panels, shelving units, storage containers, computer enclosures and electronics housings.

       

       

We believe our laser capability in conjunction with out turret punching, press brake, welding and assembly expertise allows General MetalWorks to a produce a wide variety of quality parts for our customers in a time efficient and cost effective manner. We have the flexibility to offer different fabrication operations to our customers such as: shear/ punch/ form or laser/form in response to their time, volume, and tolerance constraints.

Our Quality Department performs first article inspections and in-process inspections to ensure our parts meet customer requirements. Precision measurements are made in a controlled environment with our computer controlled Starret Coordinate Measuring Machine that has a 48 inch by 64 inch bed.

Computer Hardware And Software:

General MetalWorks uses FabriWin, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD software to design and develop fabrications. In most cases our customers are able to electronically transfer designs to us in their native CAD file formats, such as DWG, IGES, SAT, and STEP. This means very rapid part development with little chance of missing design intent – perfect for prototypes.

Back-of-envelope to finished product is also possible if you’d like us to handle the design work. We will work with you to optimize function and economy.

We design and build our own welding fixtures, right from the assembly models. This ensures consistent economical product over long or short runs. This welding fixture was part of a base used for displaying the new Nintendo Game Cube. Over 3000 units were built - sheet stock to paint – in a little over 5 weeks.
