Description

Asmetal fabricators ourselves, TZR Sheetmetal company  has first-handknowledge of how important durable, robustly constructed equipment is to a fabshop. With this in mind, a long-time client accustomed to our qualityworkmanship contracted with us to build the operation stand highlighted herefor use with a metal fabrication machine. This large stand featured dimensionsof 15” in length x 18” in width x 52” in height and required solid, all weldedconstruction to provide strength and rigidity as well as a high-quality,professional appearance.

Thisworkpiece required a substantial amount of welding. We reviewed the designs andmade several recommendations to improve how various components mated togetherto facilitate the welding process. To produce the sheet metal pieces,production involved forming pre-determined bends using a press brake as well aslaser cutting various thicknesses of cold rolled steel sheet. Other productionactivities included tapping threaded holes and deburring all of the formedcomponents.

Thetalents of our welders played a vital role in the construction of this workstand. They produced strong, high quality joints, which were accurately placedand given a clean, smooth finish. Even when examined up close, these welds arenot noticeable to the naked eye, giving the unit a seamless, one-pieceappearance. The completed unit was given a powder coated finish on the interiorand exterior as well as silkscreen printing.
