Techniques and Equipment Gieske Uses To Fabricate Custom Brass Products
Cutting
Cutting brass sheet metal is typically the first step in the fabrication process. It may be one of many steps or the only step required for the project. Regardless, we achieve the precise cuts needed to complete any brass fabrication project using state-of-the-art equipment:
- CNC high-speed laser cutting
- CNC water jet cutting
- CNC plasma shape cutting
- Hot chop saw
- Cold saw
- Metal plate shear
- Large band saw
Forming
To achieve the desired shape for the project, we form the cut pieces using equipment that bends, rolls, or presses the brass sheets. During this process, the shape of the metal is transformed, but it does not lose any of its mass. Gieske utilizes a variety of equipment to shape brass, including:
- CNC brake
- CNC tube bender
- Powered slip rolls
Joining
Once the components of the project have been cut and formed, the next step of the brass fabrication process is joining—where the parts are assembled using either mechanical or fusion techniques. Our brass fabrication joining techniques include:
- TIG welding
- Drill press
- Soldering & brazing
- Riveting
Finishing
We offer a wide range of finishing options to meet the specific requirements of your project. In-house, we provide polishing services that can achieve a brushed, mirrored, or angel hair finish using various techniques:
- Hand finishing
- Custom grinder finishing
- Cloth buffing wheels
- Orbital sander
- 8’ Directional belt sander
- Drill press
Additionally, we regularly collaborate with external partners to offer other finishing options such as powder coating, plating, anodizing, and more.
