How do you ensure the quality of the bent parts?

At Fabworks, ensuring the quality of bent parts is a top priority in our sheet metal fabrication process. We employ a multi-faceted approach that combines advanced technology, rigorous quality control measures, and expert craftsmanship.

Our sheet metal bending service utilizes state-of-the-art CNC press brakes, which offer precise control and repeatability. These machines are calibrated regularly to maintain tight tolerances, allowing us to achieve consistent results across production runs.

Before bending begins, our engineers carefully review each design to ensure it meets our bending guidelines. This includes checking for proper material selection, acceptable bend radii, and sufficient flange lengths. We also make sure your features are outside of the distortion zone to prevent unwanted deformation of critical features.

During the bending process, our skilled technicians perform regular checks to verify that parts meet specified tolerances. We use measurement tools to confirm bend angles, flange lengths, and overall dimensions. For complex parts, we may create first article samples for customer approval before proceeding with full production.

Quality control doesn't end with the bending process. Each batch of parts undergoes a final inspection before shipping. This includes visual checks for surface finish, dimensional verification, and functionality tests where applicable.

We maintain strict material traceability throughout our production process. This allows us to quickly identify and address any potential issues related to material properties that could affect bend quality.

By combining advanced technology, stringent quality control, and skilled craftsmanship, Fabworks ensures that every bent part we produce meets or exceeds our customers' expectations for quality and precision. If you have any specific quality concerns or requirements for your project, don't hesitate to discuss them with our team. We're always ready to tailor our processes to meet your unique needs.
