Our large-capacity laser processing systems include gantry-type and pallet-type equipment. Our gantry equipment can process sheet and plate up to 14 feet wide and 100 feet in length, with a maximum output power of 6,000 watts. Our pallet equipment can cut up to 8 feet wide and 20 feet in length, with a maximum output power of 8,000 watts.
We provide CNC high-definition plasma cutting services using 400-amp dual-head 4-axis equipment. Our cutting table is 10 feet wide by 90 feet long and can produce various components up to three inches thick while holding some of the tightest tolerances in the industry. We can plasma cut numerous materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, high-strength steel, abrasion-resistant (AR) steel such as HARDOX®, high-strength low alloy steels such as STRENX®, and other alloys.

At Safend Welding and Fabrication, we specialize in precision metal fabrication solutions. Equipped with extensive manufacturing experience, a state-of-the-art fabrication facility, and an extensive catalog of tooling, our customers know they can trust in us for their contract manufacturing needs. Below, we outline the process we follow when tackling a contract manufacturing project.
Metal fabrication refers to any of the core processes used to create a finished product from raw or semi-finished metal materials. Most metal fabrication processes begin with stock metal, such as bars, sheets or plates. Specific design factors and material selection will ultimately determine which method to use on any given project. Metal fabrication capabilities allow manufacturers to work with a variety of materials.
