Capabilities at Tubeway for the Automotive Industry
From body panels and doors to brakes and interior components, automotive parts require specialized cutting, forming, and machining. Our capabilities allow us to provide a range of services for automotive customers.
Laser Cutting and Perforation
Our laser cutting technology is ideal for precisely cutting quenched steel used in body panels, doors, and frame components in the automotive industry. It’s also useful for the aluminum parts used in lighter-weight automotive components. In addition to cutting, laser equipment can perform a range of other tasks, including:
- Brazing
- Marking
- Surface treatment
- Drilling
- Cladding
Our wide selection of laser cutting equipment can process stock and custom sizes of materials for high-volume projects.
Brake Forming
Press brake forming is a metal fabrication process used to shape sheet metal into various components. Our technicians use a press brake machine to clamp the metal between a punch and die to produce precise bends and angles. Applications of this process include creating:
- Chassis components
- Body panels
- Brackets
- Enclosures
These parts and assemblies support the automobile’s structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
Robotic Welding
Robotic welding offers speed, precision, and consistency in joining vehicle components. Spot welding robots are essential for building body-in-white structures and high-volume production that meets stringent industry standards. We can fulfill all your robotic welding needs, along with our other fabrication services, for a turnkey solution.
