Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication Services
Fabco Manufacturing, Inc. offers precision sheet metal fabrication for industries ranging from furniture to defense. At our ISO 9001:2008 certified facility we employ modern turret punch presses and brake presses to manufacture small and medium components, and meet MIL-I-45208A inspection system requirements. Fabrication processes include but are not limited to punching, forming, shearing, laser cutting, and grinding. We also offer expert welding including TIG and Heli-Arc. We work with a range of materials including cold and hot rolled steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and brass, all of these in forms such as coil, sheet, bar stock, tubing, and plate. Our capabilities can accommodate a wide range of finishes including chrome, dip brazing, and powder coat as well as custom finishes.
We can work with materials up to 8’ in length, 3’in width, and 2’ in height, in thickness up to .25”, and up to 75 lbs.
Our press can produce pressure up to 130 tons, while holding to tolerances of ±.002” to ±.005”. Specializing in prototype to high production volumes with typical turnaround times of 2 – 4 weeks, with a 1 week “quick turn” lead time available. All of our products and processes are held to the highest industry standards. Our customer-centric approach includes a dedicated rep and access to our engineers. We are prepared to custom design a project or re-design existing product lines for better performance and cost effectiveness.
