A Process for Every Challenge: From Purity and Aesthetics to Speed and Scale
TIG (GTAW) – For Precision & Quality
MIG (GMAW) – For Speed & Production
Our Welding Skill Set
Heat and Distortion Control
Stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel behave very differently when welded. Our team’s experience allows us to hold extremely tight tolerances despite these challenges.
From Thin to Thick, from A36 Steel to AL6XN Stainless
It’s rare that a project is outside of our comfort zone. Material thicknesses from 0.020″ to 1″, and various materials and alloys of Stainless, Aluminum, and Carbon steel are all in our wheel house.
Cosmetic and Structural
Our certified welders don’t just “pass code.” Their welds must both be structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing.
Welding Capabilities
Welding Technology & Process Specifications
We invest in a deliberately curated arsenal of ‘best-in-class’ welding technology to provide a distinct advantage in quality and efficiency. Our primary systems include:Advanced GMAW (MIG)
Fronius Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) systems for radically low-heat input and spatter-free welding.High-Precision GTAW (TIG)
Intelligent inverter power sources (Fronius iWave, Miller Dynasty) providing total control over the arc.Mechanized TIG
CK Worldwide Cold-Wire Feed (CWF) systems to achieve machine-like consistency and productivity.Aluminum GMAW
Dedicated Push/Pull Torch systems to ensure flawless, high-integrity wire feeding for aluminum.Robotic Welding
Multi-axis robotic arms integrated with GMAW systems for high-volume, repeatable production.Process Specifications: GTAW vs. GMAW
