Fabrication of a Steel Front Loader Assembly(Click on thumbnails to enlarge)  Front End Loader Assembly | |  Front End Loader Assembly | | |
A manufacturer of
industrial equipment came to Wisconsin Metal Parts,
Inc. for production of a front loader assembly that would
be part of an industrial conduit pipe bender. Our in-house tooling expertise
enabled us to create the necessary welding and assembly fixtures and
gages. Made from hot-rolled sheet steel, this assembly was fabricated
using our CNC processes of punching, bending, milling, and turning.
Pieces were assembled with MIG welding and the finished product measured
30" x 26" x 22". To apply the electrostatic finish, we worked with our painting vendor to reverse
engineer the finish to determine the paint and the finish materials. We
maintained tight manufacturing tolerances throughout each production
step. This 65 lb. part was fully inspected to meet our high quality
standards. To learn more about this manufacturing project, including tolerances and inspection processes, please contact us today or see the table below.
