3 Ways Our PA Fabrication Shop Can Help With Your Next Project

Although you probably know us best as a PA metal fabrication shop, you might not realize that at SPEC FAB we help our clients in several other important ways.

Besides welding and forming, we provide many other time-saving, production-boosting services. Read on to learn about three ways we can help, even beyond metal fabrication!

1. Design and Prototyping

If you have an idea for a part or product, or a part that’s not quite working the way it should, we can help. Thanks to our experienced designers, years of manufacturing experience and extensive knowledge of tooling, equipment, and fabrication techniques, we can help you create a new product while keep costs down and quality up.

Using the SolidWorks computerized drafting software, we can create virtual prototypes of parts and products before they go into production. That helps identify potential issues in advance and provides an opportunity to make adjustments so you’re not faced with fixing problems during production. Once a part is designed, we can produce working prototypes quickly and accurately… sometimes even within hours!

2. PEMing, Kitting, Hand Assembly, and More

Once your parts are cut, formed, and welded, we can provide all sorts of additional services such as PEMing, kitting, and other hand assembly that will help you save time and money.

A PEM is a compression fitting that allows nuts, standoffs, brackets and other functionality to be integrated right into the metal on your part. PEMing can save a great deal of time by reducing the need for subsequent manual processes when assembling a part or component.

To further make your manufacturing process more efficient, we can kit additional components with your parts. For example, thanks to our sister company HYDRAULIC TEQ, we can build all types of hydraulic hoses and package hose kits with your order.

Many of our customers also find it makes sense for us to attach stand-offs, glue bumpers, and perform other skilled handwork for them. Having complete parts and sub-assemblies ready to be installed in your products spares time and additional labor costs.

As a one-stop-shop for parts, assemblies, kits and components, we can make your ordering and receiving processes more efficient and accountable.

3. Final Product Assembly

Not only can we create all types of metal parts, components and sub-assemblies, but we also have in-depth knowledge of assembly and a skilled in-house team who can take your product from start to finish. Once your product is assembled, we can crate it, print your label on it and ship it directly to your end customers. How’s that for service!

As you can see, SPEC FAB is far more than a metal fabrication shop. Contact us to today and let’s chat about how we can help you develop and manufacture your parts and products more efficiently and effectively. We look forward to hearing from you!
