A Tennessee-based construction equipment company approached Z&L Machining, Inc. to manufacture welded brackets. These brackets of laser cut and hot rolled 1018 steel bar stock were to be used within a weldment for heavy construction equipment. The brackets were saw cut to a length of 4.331" .020" using a Kasto saw. They were then drill, tapped, and deburred with an Okuma CNC Mill. Finally, the seats were welded to the HR A-36 plate with a Miller MIG welder. Each 2.73 lbs. bracket was then tested and inspected using calipers, thread gages and a CMM. Using these top of the line machines, processes and testing, Z&L was able to create a run of 1, 400 brackets within tightest tolerances of +.005 -.003". For more information about these welded brackets or any of Z&L Machining Inc.'s other projects please contact us or see the details listed below.
