We have extensive experience in fabricating custom weldments and equipment assemblies tailored precisely to your specifications, ensuring on-time delivery. Our fabrication team excels in producing custom products that require the highest standards of quality, structural integrity, dimensional accuracy, and complex welds and forming configurations. While most of our products are fabricated from various grades of carbon steel, our skilled fabricators are also proficient in working with stainless steel, Cor-Ten steel, aluminum, and specialty alloy steels to meet the unique demands of your project. Our design/build team collaborates closely with you to provide complete solutions—from design and fabrication to final assembly—ensuring your finished product meets all requirements. Our custom job shop handles final assembly, which often includes integration of electrical, plumbing, hydraulic, and mechanical systems. When design and engineering support is needed, Hoffmann offers detailed drawings (stamped if required) along with a comprehensive Bill of Materials. Whether your project involves simple components or complex assemblies, Hoffmann is ready to assist you every step of the way.
Metal Cutting
At GM Engineering, we utilize multiple methods for cutting steel to ensure precision and efficiency. Straight-line cuts are performed using our HEM 26” automatic horizontal saw, HEM 20” vertical saw with hydraulic tilt, and the Piranha P-50, 50-ton iron worker.
Plasma Cutting System
For cutting complex shapes such as circles, holes, curves, and angles, we utilize our high-performance plasma system: the ALLtra 12' x 60' Cutting Table. Our heavy-duty plasma cutter can pierce plates up to 1½ inches thick, while the oxy-fuel capability extends piercing up to 6 inches. The large table size allows us to cut expansive areas, minimizing the need for welds and seams. It delivers highly precise and repeatable cuts through advanced motion control, featuring true multitasking and seamless DXF file conversion for efficient and accurate production.
Forming
Steel plate forming is primarily accomplished using either a press brake or plate roll, operated manually or through CNC programming. The capabilities of these machines are determined by the thickness and size of the material being formed. At Gfee, we offer precise bending with our 400-ton press brake, capable of handling plates up to ½" thick by 14 feet long and ¾" thick by 11 feet long. Our Faccin CNC plate roll can roll plates up to 10 feet wide and ½" thick, accommodating roll diameters ranging from small to large, with the option for unlimited segmented rolling. We provide custom rolling services tailored to your specific requirements, working with a variety of materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and alloy steel.
