Axis Fab offers precision welding services alongside its fabrication and machining capabilities, so customers can get more from one supplier.
Axis Fabrication and Machine’s welding department combines decades of experience with advanced equipment, modern facilities, thoughtful project planning, and streamlined workflows to deliver high-quality, repeatable welds with efficiency.
Experienced Welders for a Range of Applications
Axis Fabrication and Machine’s welding department is made up of skilled team members, all with at least 10 years of experience. Their varied expertise allows the team to produce a range of custom welded components, including:
- Cabinets
- Frames for new construction
- Carts
- Tabletops
- Workstations
We commonly produce durable structural components and also offer in-house grinding and finishing for applications that require a clean, finished appearance, including food-grade applications.
The team also continues to develop its skills through training and investments in new equipment, helping Axis Fab expand its capabilities and improve production processes.
Cutting-Edge Equipment for Improved Efficiency
Adding new equipment to our shop floor is one way we continue to improve operations and reduce the time required for certain welding projects.
Our investment in laser welding has improved efficiency in a significant way. Welding projects that previously took a full day can now be completed in just over an hour.
For cabinet production, adding this capability has increased output from one cabinet per day to as many as 10.
We have also invested in a robotic welding system that has improved operations by enabling greater throughput, cost savings, and more consistent results.
For customers, these improvements create opportunities for faster turnaround and increased production capacity.
A Facility Designed for Effective Workflows
While it’s true that our new facility has given us the space to introduce new equipment to our department, it has done so much more for our operations.
Several features in our new manufacturing facility help the welding department work more efficiently:
- Improved layout for better organization and more productive workflows
- Better lighting for improved visibility and accuracy
- Crane access at every welding station for improved productivity and safety
- An additional 6 feet of space per weld station for easier access to tools and materials
- Optimized design to encourage collaboration and coordination among team members
Together, these improvements help components move through welding, sandblasting, inspection, and shipping with fewer interruptions.
For customers, these improved processes support shorter lead times and more consistent results.
How Planning and Problem-Solving Go Hand in Hand
Axis Fab performs grinding, finishing, and sandblasting in-house. This contributes to streamlined operations and supports better quality control. But when a project requires multiple manufacturing processes, planning becomes even more important.
In an effort to keep operations moving, our team prioritizes early planning. We hold meetings for each new project that comes through our department before welding begins.
These meetings are a time for us to collaborate and identify any potential manufacturing challenges early. This helps us avoid stops during production and the subsequent rework.
In some cases, a design may need to be adjusted to improve manufacturability. Our welding team can provide recommendations to help simplify production and avoid potential issues.
When we do come across a challenge, we work with our engineering department to determine a solution.
More Manufacturing Capabilities Under One Roof
By combining sheet metal solutions with precision CNC machining and advanced welding services, Axis Fab can support projects that require multiple manufacturing processes.
Whether your project requires seamless, high-quality welds or sturdy, structural components, our experienced welders, advanced equipment, and coordinated processes help us deliver quality welded components efficiently.
