The process used for sheet metal fabrication has changed dramatically in the last few years. Customer specifications can now be sent electronically, and the latest equipment using digital scanners and lasers speeds up production. Bar code scanning is used from programming to packaging to ensure the customer's parts are delivered on time.

PUNCHING
Turret presses and lasers are used to punch, cut, and separate the parts from the sheets. These machines are highly accurate, fast, and can be re-programmed whenever a part may be revised. This allows us to produce small or large quantities efficiently usually without any tooling costs.

BENDING
Press brakes are used to bend parts to meet the shape and dimensions shown on the drawings. These machines are very precise and consistent in operation. Some machines are grouped with robots to operate as "Robotic Forming Cells".

WELDING
The complicated assemblies designed today sometimes require components to be welded together to produce a complete unit. Welding of metal is difficult and must be done using the correct equipment, technique, and supplies. Training is provided continually to ensure the operators produce consistent accurate weldments. Robotic Welding Cells are also used to maintain strong accurate weldments on high quantity runs.

HARDWARE
In recent years, hardware installation has become more popular with sheet metal fabrication. Engineers can design parts with threaded nuts, studs, and stand-offs installed in place. A variety of other hardware items are also available. Hardware installation provides a more complete unit, and helps reduce assembly time of the final product.

INSPECTION
Quality is a very important part of the fabrication process. T/J Fabricators Inc. is a cerified ISO 9001 company. This requires that a strict inspection procedure be followed throughout production. First piece inspection is done for each step of production, and certificates of compliance are available when requested.

FINISHING
When specified, T/J Fabricators Inc. will provide plating, painting, and silk-screen or pad printing to make completely finished parts. Subassembly or final assembly of entire units is available when desired.

SHIPMENTS
Our tracking system allows us to deliver your order at the time most beneficial to your company. When necessary, orders can be shipped immediately upon completion. Otherwise, delivery of product is made when scheduled as stated on your purchase order. Ample storage space is available to allow blanket orders to be utilized.
