Overview

What we do, who we do it for

SPM specializes in precision sheet metal fabrication for mechanical products, assemblies, and parts. With in-house manufacturing capabilities including sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, laser cutting, welding, painting, and design engineering, we have become an industry leader in contract manufacturing.

Our state-of-the-art equipment is designed to give our customers the highest quality product, and most lines are fully automated with unattended lights-out operations. On our fabrication floor we focus on Lean Manufacturing and Continuous Improvement every day. Our operational scalability and purchasing power help our customers face the challenges of demand fluctuations, design changes, short product lifecycles, and short lead times.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What sheet metal processes does SPM offer?
SPM's sheet metal fabrication floor combines three departments under one roof: Punching, Laser Cutting, and Forming. Each is staffed by certified operators and supported by Continuous Improvement processes.
What's SPM's max sheet size for laser cutting?
SPM's fiber laser bed handles sheets up to 60″ × 120″. Larger formats are quoted on request.
What thickness range can SPM cut and form?
SPM works in thicknesses from 0.020″ to 0.500″, material-dependent. Contact us for thicker stock requirements.
What tolerances does SPM hold on sheet metal fabrication?
Standard tolerance is ±0.005″, with tighter values available on request. Bend angle accuracy is ±0.5° on ATC press brakes.
Does SPM offer lights-out laser cutting?
Yes. SPM's laser department is fully automated with loading and unloading capabilities that enable lights-out automation, and our Engineering team uses nesting to maximize sheet utilization.
What press brakes does SPM run?
SPM's forming department includes ATC (Automatic Tool Changer) press brakes that eliminate manual setup time on complex bend sequences, plus a full complement of manual press brakes for tight-tolerance prototype and low-volume work.
