Key Quality Control Points in Sheet Metal Fabrication

Sheet metal fabrication is an important stage in production;  it consists of making metallic structures from metal sheets.  Increased know-how and attention to detail are vital in this process as all of these parts are subject to strict tolerances.  Here at LVDA Metal, we are known for our carefulness with our techniques in sheet metal fabrication as we make sure that all processes within it are done with the utmost quality and precision.

Material Selection

The choice of material is fundamental in sheet metal fabrication.  Here at LVDA Metal, we evaluate materials according to application requirements like strength, weight, cost, and economy.  Be it aluminum, stainless steel, or any other type of metal, we work with clients to find the right material depending on their desired application.

Precision Cutting and Forming

When it comes to cutting and twisting metals, precision is highly regarded. We at LVDA Metal possess modern equipment that is very efficient in performing these complex tasks; our CNC machines are top-notch in their accompanying cuts on bends. Our expert operators make sure precision is the name of the game and each item cut off is just the perfect amount while being precise in the angle it is twisted; increasing efficiency while reducing the wastage of material.

Fabrication welding assembly

When fabricating sheet metals, welding is sometimes unavoidable and requires expertise. At LVDA, we have certified welders for a variety of welding techniques to produce strong and reliable joints. Our assembly work is also systematic and every part goes through fitting and fastening procedures to ensure it is perfectly secured.

Metal finishing processes

Surface treatment of sheet metal parts is more than just enhancing aesthetics but also improving functionality.  To make parts more beautiful and less prone to rust, LVDA Metal offers painting, powder coating, and anodizing among other surface treatments.  Our quality control department analyzes every treated part to several parameters to ensure a good finish.

Inspection and quality control

Quality Control at LVDA Metal is performed throughout all steps of sheet-metal fabrication. We carry out a set of inspection procedures including visual checks, dimensional measurements, and material tests in order to confirm that the quality of our product is satisfactory to the required benchmarks. Our devotion to product quality is proven with our ISO9001/iATF16949 certificates.
