Precision joining for mission-critical flight hardware and heavy structural assemblies. Combining our 12' × 35' FANUC robotic welding cell with certified manual Miller Dynasty 350 AC/DC TIG and OTC Digital Pulse MIG stations in Plainville, CT.
Whether joining 35-foot defense chassis or thin-gauge titanium aerospace avionics ducts, Fabtron ensures full penetration, minimal thermal distortion, and non-destructive examination (NDE) readiness.
Massive continuous travel track with dual-station indexing. Executes repetitive, high-integrity welds on large structural frames, generator bases, and heavy defense enclosures with sub-millimeter bead consistency.
Advanced inverter power with independent balance, frequency, and amplitude control. Enables pristine oxide removal on aerospace aluminum alloys and micro-controlled penetration on thin titanium and stainless hardware.
High-frequency digital waveform control for aluminum and stainless steel. Delivers smooth, ripple-pattern bead appearance with near-zero weld spatter, eliminating hours of secondary grinding before powder coating.
Fabtron welders and automated procedures are qualified to industry standards with full traceability.
