The manufacturing process begins with a stand of steel wire,
which is first straightened and then cut to length.
Next, the pieces move to bending machines where frames of
various shapes are formed, then to the butt-welders where
the loose ends are joined. After that braces can be added
and mesh welded on top if required. The parts are trimmed
to remove excess mesh and finished to remove sharp edges.
Each component is inspected for strict quality control.
It all starts with these
stands of wire
Fabrication requires many individual
tasks using custom designed forms to hold the parts and
different machines for each operation.
Here mesh wire is fusion welded
to the frame and braces using the form that holds
the wire in place.
Sheet metal and other
components are added next.
Throughout the entire manufacturing process, the parts
are bent, welded, punched, cut or drilled to
exacting specifications.
