Automated Sheet Metal Fabrication
With capabilities of producing fabrications up to 3/16 inch in thickness (in a variety of alloys) our facility integrates a complete line of standard fabricating equipment including the latest laser cutting systems, CNC punching and fabrication, press brakes, sheetmetal bending, welding and more.
Salvagnini Flexible Shearing, Punching, and Forming Cell
- Integrated Punching Shearing Bending
- Automatic sheet handling
- Salvagnini Complete Cell
- Maximum – 110” x 60” x 11 gage
- Accurate every time
This amazing fabrication cell automates the entire panel production process including sheet storage and loading, punching, sheering, bending and
unloading of the completed part. Now your job can be setup in minutes for a high production run, enabling JIT and even low-volume runs to give
you outsourcing flexibility.
ShearingSkilcraft employs three sheet metal shears:
(1) CNC Right Angle Optishear for precision square shearing of blanks with one pass through the shear.
(1) CNC Mechanical Squaring Shear with front and rear CNC gage stops to tackle even the most difficult shearing applications with CNC accuracy.
(1) Stand-alone Mechanical Squaring Shear with mechanical back gage.
| Max Sheet Size | Material | Max Thickness |
| 168 inches by 50 inches |
Aluminum | 3/16" |
| Mild Steel | 3/16” | |
| Stainless Steel | 1/8” |
Turret Punching
CNC sheet metal punching is a critical part of Skilcraft's manufacturing process. When punching is required to produce an item, it is assigned to one of our four high production Turret Punching Presses that punch high quality parts in materials up to 3/16" in thickness.
| Tonnage | Model | Turret Stations |
| 33 Ton | Vectrum 3005/X | 44 with (4) Auto Indexing |
| 45 Ton | Magnum 5000 | 52 with (2) Auto Indexing |
| 20 Ton | Centrum 2000 | 18 with (2) Auto Indexing and 2 Varitool |
6-Axis Press Brake
Sheetmetal bending and forming can be accomplished with our three (6) axis CNC Press Brakes at Skilcraft. These Press Brakes allow minimal setup
and handling of even the most challenging and complex parts – with consistent quality and accuracy every time.
- 24 gage Aluminum, Mild Steel and Stainless Steel up to 168 inches in length.
- 1/4 inch plate of any material, up to 168 inches in length.
