Best Contract Manufacturing in Garfield Heights, OH

Contract manufacturing comes in many different ways. If you are steel industry or dealing with steel or any other metal, then you will know just how important it can be to get a dependable supplier that you can turn to when you are overwhelmed or when you want to borrow technology. The world is rapidly changing, and the change is brought about with technology. People are demanding smaller parts that are more effective than predecessors. This has resulted in complex designs that can no longer be fabricated with the manual approaches used earlier.

When your fabrication capability does not conform with what technology requires or your facilities are just limited to meet the demand, then contract manufacturing is the best and most cost-effective means of meeting your requirements. Ohio Contract Manufacturing Specialists is here to help you with any metal fabrication services that you need.

We offer very many metal fabrication services that are needed by our clients to meet their diverse needs. However, we will only single out sheet metal fabrication to be the main topic of this article. You can find other sources about other services that we offer or wait for our next post to also talk about a few of them. For your reference, we offer services such as laser cutting, welding, hardware insertion, metal finishing, structural steel fabrications, etc. Just be in touch if you need any of the services that we have listed or any other that is not listed.

Sheet metal rolling services

Sheet metal rolling is done at various stages depending on the complexity of the design and customization of the needed shapes. For regular curves and standard shapes, we use rollers the are predefined according to the standard measurements. The rollers that we have are automated and can also be operated manually to produces that needed shape from sheet metal.

We can roll mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum metals to form the needed shapes such as curves, cones, cylinders, and other special shapes. This method is preferred for high-volume rolling of identical parts. It is way much cheaper and faster to use standard rollers when the parts to be produced have the same design and needed in large batches,

We cannot also forget to talk about CNC machining that is used in rolling and forming metals in different shapes and sizes. This helps in areas where rolling cannot just be used.

Sheet metal forming

CNC press braking is necessary when the profile is not consistent across the sheet. With this method, you can easily create bends and offset rads as you please. This method is very precise and relatively faster, However, the modification on the design can be time-consuming.

Creating multi-bend

For curved sections that cannot be achieved through forming and rolling, a special technique that uses CNC press brakes is the alternatives. The curves are achieved by pressing many finite sections that are tangential to the surface. You can get more information about this by visiting our workshop.
