Sheet Metal Supply Expands In-House Equipment Line to Fabricate Thicker Metals

The company’s Mazak Nexus Fiber S7 laser cuts 1-inch stainless steel and mild steel, as well as 3/4-inch aluminum and copper.

Grayslake, IL — Sheet Metal Supply, a leading national fabricator and supplier of an extensive array of custom metal construction products, has invested in new equipment to expand its capability into even heavier metal products.

With its capabilities, Sheet Metal Supply is capable of producing complex products from thick metals.

The company’s Mazak Nexus Fiber S7 laser cuts 1-inch stainless steel and mild steel, as well as 3/4-inch aluminum and copper. The Amada EMK 3612 MII turret punches aluminum and mild steel up to 3/16-inches (.190 inches) thick and the 130-metric ton SafanDarley press brake allows SMS to form aluminum up to 1/2-inch. Sheet Metal Supply has the ability to cut 20-foot lengths of 1/4-inch aluminum and mild steel with its AccurShear 625020 and can punch 3/8-inch-thick aluminum with its Amada Coma-567 turret.

With this equipment, Sheet Metal Supply can offer heavier gauges of substructural as well as structural components and outriggers, plus heavier and more durable façade panels and planters.

“Customers are always pushing the design envelope, asking for more unique and heavier gauge products,” says Ben Kweton, President of Sheet Metal Supply Ltd. “Our new 80,000-square-foot building gives us the room to add equipment with greater capabilities. We have invested in the equipment and skilled teammates to meet the growing needs of our customers and supply them with the durable, long-lasting products they require.

“Not only does this new machinery add speed and expand capability, it also represents a leap in energy efficiency. We strive to shine as a single-source solution for substructural components, glazing and shading outriggers and bracketry, custom perforated plate for facades and decorative components and a plethora of other applications.”
