Techniques and Equipment We Utilize for Industrial Fabrication Projects
Cutting
Precision metal cutting is essential for industrial fabrication projects. We understand that parts and components must be fabricated to exact specifications. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment to achieve the cuts needed to complete any custom industrial fabrication project:
- 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
During the fabrication process, we distort raw metals into the necessary shape with equipment that bends, rolls, or presses the metal. During the forming stage, the metal does not lose any mass—only the form changes. Gieske uses various equipment to form our raw materials, including:
- CNC brake
- CNC tube bender
- Powered slip rolls
Joining
Once the necessary metal components are cut and formed, the next step of the industrial metal fabrication process is joining—connecting pieces of raw materials together to create the final product. There are many joining techniques (both fusion and mechanical). Some of our joining techniques for industrial metal fabrication include:
- TIG welding
- MIG welding
- Drill press
- Soldering & brazing
- Riveting
Finishing
The final step of the industrial metal fabrication process is finishing. There is a wide range of finishing options to meet the specific requirements of your project. In-house, we provide polishing services that can create a brushed, mirrored, or angel hair finish using various techniques, including:
- Hand finishing
- Custom grinder finishing
- Cloth buffing wheels
- Orbital sander
- 8’ Directional belt sander
- Drill press
Additionally, we regularly partner with outside companies to provide other finish options such as powder coating, plating, anodizing, and more.
