Precision Metal Assembly: From Parts to Products
We take metal assembly seriously. Our fabricating stations are well-equipped to handle high-volume assembly projects, making you look like a hero. When you partner with a contract manufacturer like Accurate, we will do all the heavy lifting, including complete assembly and shipping.
More Than Just Metal Stampings
As a metal fabricator, we can stamp metal parts based on your drawings. From small hinges on a metal enclosure to panels used in the power generation industry, our team is fully equipped to assemble your pieces into a final product ready to ship based on our specific schedule.
Final Assembly and Applications
Final metal assembly and applications are customized to meet specifications, such as graphic application, electronics, or hardware installation, material integration, and intricate product and display assembly.
Instruction and Packaging
Each order also receives customized packaging and attention to ensure safe delivery. Our shipping departments develop special metal assembly packaging cells so that any size or shape of the component is prepared for safe transport. We supply custom cores, crates, pallets, banding, supports, and more. When necessary, custom assembly packaging houses are utilized on special orders to meet a client's specific requirements.
Additionally, detailed and comprehensive instructions are inserted so that any components requiring post-delivery assembly can be completed without confusion and frustration. This includes:
- Customized Packaging: Our shipping departments are equipped with specialized metal assembly packaging cells that can accommodate components of any size or shape. We offer various packaging options, including custom cores, crates, pallets, banding, supports, and more.
- Special Orders: When unique requirements demand special attention, we can access custom assembly packaging houses to ensure your order is packaged according to your precise specifications.
- Comprehensive Instructions: We provide detailed and complete instructions with each order to eliminate any confusion or frustration during post-delivery assembly. We aim to make our clients' assembly process as smooth as possible.
- Graphic Application: We understand the importance of visual appeal, and our team is adept at integrating graphic elements into metal components to ensure they are functional and visually appealing.
- Electronics Installation: For projects that require electronic components, we have the experts to integrate them into metal structures seamlessly, ensuring optimal functionality and safety.
- Material Integration: Our fabrication capabilities allow seamless material integration, whether combining different metals or incorporating non-metal materials. This results in robust and versatile products.
- Intricate Product and Display Assembly: Our skilled artisans excel in detailed assembly work, creating complex product assemblies or eye-catching display structures.
PEM® Insertion
Accurate Metal Fabricating can integrate specialized PEM® brand fasteners into your design projects. PEM® Insertion yields strong, permanent, threaded fasteners and mounting points for PC boards, electronic enclosures, brackets, shield covers, and other accessories. A PEM® nut is an internal fastener that, as an assembly alternative, provides solid, load-bearing threads for thin sheet metal and non-malleable materials.
PEM® Insertion Advantages
- Easy to integrate
- Inexpensive
- Clinch sheets as thin as .016 in./0.4 mm
- Attaches sheets as thin as .008 in./0.2 mm
- It provides added strength to your assembly
- Utilizes surface mount, weld technology, and presses to insert this specialized hardware into your design projects.
Riveting – Tubular and Pop
Joining metal components can be complex with a single method, but Accurate Metal Fabricating always has solutions. AMF can install pop riveting and tubular riveting to join components where the welding process can't be applied. Our team of experts can determine if riveting is viable for your project and advise you of the best alternatives to enhance your design's assembly.
Our engineers can perform a joint analysis and determine whether the installed load requires a tension or shear load for your project. We can also help you decide whether bolts, welding, or riveting are the best choices for joining components. We have the capabilities for any option and can help you determine what best suits your project needs.
Benefits of Riveting
- Just as robust as welding
- Establishes a very tight fit (not always possible with other fasteners)
- Ease of installation
- Joins multiple materials: steel, aluminum, plastics, composites, fabric, and pre-painted materials.
- Reduces your costs
Sheet Metal Fabricating Savings
Sometimes, welding can be applied, but riveting is the best choice because it saves money. See our case study for how we gave one client substantial savings by substituting riveting for welding. We offer a first-article inspection to ensure the quality of your component at the best price before we undertake the final production run. We have eight decades of experience, state-of-the-art equipment, and the capabilities to offer you more options for your design assembly.
