High-volume production welding and precision cosmetic weldments — from the same in-house department.
Welding is where structural strength and cosmetic quality either come together or fall apart.

For weldments that require craftsmanship — thin-gauge stainless, cosmetic surfaces, complex joint configurations, or low-volume fabrication — our certified welders bring the precision that robotic cells aren’t designed for.
Our Miller 2 x 350’s 300-amp MIG stations runs at 100% duty cycle, built for heavy-plate structural fabrication, thick-wall assemblies, and high-deposition applications. This is our workhorse for structural frames, equipment chassis, and anything that needs volume and penetration.
Two Miller 330ST TIG stations handle intricate, cosmetic, and thin-wall work. TIG is the process of choice for stainless steel enclosures, aerospace-grade joint requirements, and any weldment where the visual result matters as much as the structural result. Our welders are AWS D1.1 certified.
Resistance spot welding for sheet metal assemblies where speed and joint strength matter more than a continuous bead. Ideal for panel assemblies, brackets, and structural sheet work that will be hidden in a finished product.Our Large Production Spot welder can weld up to .125 thick steel and be configured for multiple welds per cycle.
Our two Yaskawa Motoman 1400-DX100 6-axis robotic welding cells are the backbone of our high-volume structural welding capability. Each robot delivers consistent, repeatable weld beads at production rates that manual welding cannot match — without sacrificing penetration or joint quality.
When robotic welding is the right process:
Structural welding in rail, aerospace, and defense applications requires documentation — not just a good-looking bead. Our welding department operates to AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code on applicable programs, with weld procedure specifications (WPS) and welder qualification records maintained on file.
The reason in-house welding matters isn’t just capability — it’s continuity. When your stamped parts move directly from our presses to our welding cells, we own the dimensional relationship between them. We know how the metal moved in the die, and we fixture accordingly. There’s no fingerpointing between a stamping vendor and a separate welding shop when something doesn’t fit.
One program. One team. One result.
We carry the certifications that allow you to sell into regulated markets. Our quality lab features Zeiss CMMs for certification and Hexagon Portable Arms for reverse engineering.

We evaluate this on a program-by-program basis. Our welding capabilities are primarily deployed as part of integrated programs where FKI USA is producing the core stamped or fabricated components. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
Carbon steel, stainless steel (304, 316L), aluminum, and high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels. Material and joint configuration drive process selection — contact our engineering team for exotic alloys or unusual joint requirements.
Yes. For structural programs requiring formal weld procedure documentation, our team can develop and qualify WPS to your program’s applicable code.
We operate two 6-axis robotic cells and evaluate capacity by program. Contact us with your estimated annual volume and part complexity for an honest assessment.
Your production schedule shouldn’t depend on an outside vendor’s furnace availability. Ours doesn’t. Talk to our engineering team about what integrated heat treat means for your program’s uptime.
