A key segment of our capabilities is the fabrication of rotating assemblies. Many of these weldments will see forces up to 300 times that of gravity in a corrosive and submerged environment. These weldments also incorporate tight tolerance bearing and seal surfaces, complex mechanical assemblies, and specific stainless steel finishing requirements.

Here, one of our skilled welders, Rocco continues MIG welding a rotating cylinder weldment in a later stage.
Utilizing a tilt/turn positioner to make a critical weld between a heavy steel weldment and multiple light gauge corrosion resistant alloys.
Jim, performing semi automated MIG welding on small roll assemblies while passing his skills on to a new generation.
MIG welded roll weldments which will next be sent to our paint area, masked off, and sprayed.
Continuously work to develop fixturing to be used in multiple stages to assemble rotational weldments.
With many of our rotating weldments operate in a heavily loaded and corrosive environment we’ve developed tightly controlled methods to meet these challenges. Working extensively with local machine shops to achieve the tight tolerances necessary for precision shrink fit.
