Fixed Seating

Techniques in Metal Fabrication

Metal fabrication involves several techniques tailored to meet the specific needs of fixed seating. These include cutting, bending, welding, and assembling metal to create strong structures that can withstand regular use and harsh environmental conditions. Precision is key, as the structural integrity of seats must adhere to safety standards.

Cutting and Bending

Metal sheets are cut to size using lasers, plasma torches, or other high-precision tools. Bending these sheets into the desired shapes is typically accomplished using press brakes or other bending machinery, which allows for high repeatability and accuracy.

Welding and Assembly

Welding is crucial for assembling cut and bent metal pieces into final products. Techniques such as MIG, TIG, and spot welding are commonly used to ensure strong joints that will not fail under stress. After welding, seats are often treated with finishes such as powder coating to improve aesthetics and resistance to corrosion.
