CAPITAL MACHINERY ARCHITECTURE

Eliminating the Multi-Day Metal Service Center Lag

Typical sheet metal fabricators order material per project, waiting 3 to 5 business days for metal service center delivery trucks. Fabtron maintains 280 tons of aluminum, stainless, and carbon steel sheet live on our shop floor.

51 High-Density Automated Cassettes: Each pallet holds up to 11,000 lbs of sheet metal up to 60" × 120" dimensions, segregated by alloy, thickness, and certified heat-lot number.

TRUMPF LiftMaster Vacuum Gantry: Automated sheet separator suction cups lift individual sheets from the STOPA delivery station directly onto the laser shuttle table without surface scratching.

Continuous Lights-Out Production: Enables rapid surge manufacturing for defense emergency work orders and high-volume OEM turnstile production runs.
