    • Printer-friendly version

    As discussed earlier the equipment of a sheet metal shop varies widely depending upon the size of the product and production quantities. The layouts also vary accordingly. A reasonably equipped sheet metal fabrication shop should have at least the following:

    Primary Section

    • Sheet stalkers
    • Power Shearing Machine, 2.5 Mt length, Hand Shears
    • CNC Turret Punch Press, 24 stations, Power Presses- 20T,60 T, Fly Presses

    Secondary Section

    • CNC Press brake 2.5 Mt length, Hydraulic press brake. 2.5 Mt, Folding machine 1.2 Mt
    • Notching Machine, Clinching machine, Riveting machine, Hand Riveting equipment
    • Work Benches 2Mt length, Fitter Hand Tool Sets,

    Integration Section

    • CO2 Welding, TIG Welding, Arc Welding, Spot welding, Resistance welding
    • Welding Tables, Welding Jigs
    • Deburring, Grinding, Sanding
    • Inspection Tables, Inspection Tools

    Finishing Section

    • 7 Tank Pre-treatment
    • Conveyorized Spray painting, Powder Coating booths
    • Effluent Treatment Systems
    • Plating Systems

    Assembly Section

    • Assembly tables
    • Assembly Documents
    • Assembly jigs
    • Pneumatic Screwdrivers
    • Cleaning Systems

    Dispatch Section

    • Packing
    • Dispatch Documents
    • Jib Crane or other lifting equipment
       


    TYPICAL LAYOUT OF A SHEET METAL FABRICATION SHOP. MACHINES CAN BE MORE THAN ONE.

    Production should be  planned based on firm BOM and BOQ along with formatted final drawings, not as-built drawings

    Sheet Metal production initiation generally comprises of:

    • Work Order Generation
    • Production Flow path creation
    • Man, and machine time planning
    • Quality manual generation
    • Inspection manual generation
    • Dispatch document generation

    The production begins with these documents. There must be periodic in-process quality checks and final quality checks before the product is certified for dispatch.
