Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication
Capabilities and Equipment
Lightning Fast • Superior Craftsmanship • Engineering Expertise
Rapid Metal Prototyping
Just like every other industry, the technology in the sheet metal fabrication industry over the last 20 years has evolved dramatically. Innovations in laser cutting, computer-aided designs (CAD), and CNC machinery have greatly improved precision, efficiency, and productivity. GTR Manufacturing has kept up stride for stride with this evolution and is equipped with top of the line equipment that have a multitude of sheet metal prototyping capabilities.
The Cellular Manufacturing of our Prototyping Facility
To ensure an efficient manufacturing process, we utilize cellular manufacturing. Cellular manufacturing is a version of an assembly line set up. We have 2 cells with multiple machines each with unique capabilities, allowing us to quickly move each part from process to process and increases our prototyping efficiency significantly. As you can see in the photo of Cell 1 on the left, it is equipped with a forming machine, a turret punch press, a laser cutter, and a hardware insertion machine. All the processes your prototype needs are in one compact area.
Amada EG 6013
As said by Amada America, Inc themselves, “The EG 4010 is an ideal compact press brake solution to produce small sheet metal components that demand a high degree of precision.” The Dual Servo Power Drive allows for lightning fast approach, bending, and return speeds, which increases the pace your part moves through the shop. It is the perfect forming machine for our prototyping facility.
IPG LaserCube
Compact, powerful, and precise, the IPG LaserCube is a staple of our prototyping facility. It takes up limited space, can reach up to 4 kilowatts of Laser Power, is accurate within +/- 25 micrometers, and can reach up to 1000 mm/second. It is a high speed, reliable laser cutter that will produce your part of the highest quality.
Amada AE 255 NT Turret Punch Press
Offering significantly faster punching speeds than any mechanical turret, the Amada AE 255 NT is an important tool in our arsenal. With high positioning speed, a brush table that prevents scratches, and a compact space-saving design, the Amada AE 255 NT fits like a glove with the rest of our prototyping equipment.
Haeger 824 MSP 5e
The Haeger 824 MSP 5e is an energy efficient hardware insertion machine that is fully hydraulic with 8 ton (72kN) ram force and 24 inch (610) mm throat depth as well as adjustable ram position. It is also equipped with a multi shuttle platform which allows for a quick and easy universal tool change between studs, nuts, and more. This makes the machine more efficient and helps us produce your prototype quicker.
All this equipment helps us expedite the prototyping process and get you your high quality part within days. But all this equipment would be useless if it wasn’t for our highly skilled and capable craftspeople. We have a healthy mix of long tenured and experienced employees who know the ins and outs of the metal fabrication business like the back of their hand combined with a set of young, eager minds who bring new ideas and solutions to the production floor. This blend of personalities gives GTR the versatility to solve all your manufacturing needs.
