Custom Metal Fabrication

Metal Cutting

Here, several tools like punches, lasers, plasmas, shears, and saws are used.

Straight-line cuts are made using saws, with the cut of material needed determining the saw that is used.

Beams are passed through Swanton Welding’s Beam Line so they can be cut into various sizes.

When more articulate cuts are required shears are used and, like saws, the cut of metal required determines the size of shear.

Lasers and plasmas are used to cut more complex shapes like circles and complex curves. They are usually controlled by computers and can cut any metal with precision.

Notches and punches are used for creating openings on metals of any size or shape using high pressure.

Forming

Forming happens after metals are cut. Machines generating a great deal of force and pressure are used to give the metal its desired shape.

The main techniques used to form the shapes are press baking and rolling, both of which can be used to form metals of a huge range of thicknesses and sizes.

Press Brake Projects:

• Machine guarding
• Pans
• Clips
• Cylinders
• Cones

We can roll:

• Angles
• Beams
• Square & Rectangular Tubing
• Pipe

Swanton Welding stays up to date on the latest technologies and updated machinery. Our rolling capabilities have drastically improved in the last few years. Using these new machines have increased Swanton Welding’s already robust rolling capabilities and adds new services for our customers. Swanton Welding has the experience, skills, and the right equipment to get your job done efficiently and with the highest quality materials.

Assembly

Once the metals have been formed, they are assembled and joined. This process typically involves welding the pieces together with intense heat without compromising the integrity of the individual pieces. It is at this time that the final product comes together and all of the earlier metal shapings serve its intended purpose.

Our skilled welders and steel fabricators maintain a high level of certification. We take pride in our welders and staff and provide professional development so they can expand their skill set. An experienced skilled fabrication team allows Swanton Welding to offer a wide range of diverse services for our customers.

Inspection

Having a Certified Welding Inspector (CWI)on staff at your fabrication company shows that the company is willing to make an investment to get the job done right. Swanton Welding has a dedicated Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) in-house that inspects every project.

Swanton’s in-house certified welding inspector has the ability to ensure that your fabrication project adheres to all the requirements, before, during, and after your project is completed.

Our CWI inspects the requirements and welding codes of a project before any work is completed. They also review all the documents and testing records of anyone working on the project to make sure they are certified to perform the work – before the work begins. These checks and balances help ensure your fabrication project has the right people, material, and certifications all lined up before work begins.

Having an inspector on staff at your fabrication company shows that the company is willing to make an investment to get the job done right. An inspector follows the project throughout helping make adjustments to make sure that Swanton Welding’s high-quality standards are met.

Having a CWI on staff helps us continue to maintain best practices and safety standards for our staff and your fabrication project.

Transportation

Conveniently located near major transportation hubs, Swanton Welding can utilize a combination of truck, air, rail, or ship to transport your metal fabrication project from Swanton Welding to its destination.

Our Northwest Ohio facilities are located just off the I80/90 Turnpike, the Great Lakes, and I75. Griffin, GA facility is located just outside of Atlanta, GA, and can easily transport your project throughout the south or internationally via the Port of Savannah.

Wherever your project’s final destination, Swanton Welding can deliver.
