Fabrication & welding — weldments under one roof with the parts they bolt to.
Waterjet and laser cutting. TIG, MIG, and robotic welding. Forming, bending, rolling. Weldments built under the same roof as the parts they bolt to — no split POs, no finger-pointing between vendors. Shorter lead times. One job number across mill / weld / finish, tracked in K+G's machine shop ERP.
Cut, form, weld — all integrated.
A typical weldment combines waterjet or laser cut blanks, formed sub-assemblies, and welded joints. Doing all three under one roof eliminates the supplier-handoff lead time and the "whose tolerance is wrong" arguments.
Cutting (waterjet + laser)
Waterjet for thick plate, sensitive materials, and heat-affected-zone-free cuts. Laser for sheet metal, high-volume nesting, intricate profiles. Both feed into the same downstream form/weld cells.
Welding
TIG for precision and aerospace-grade joints. MIG for production and structural work. Two robotic welding cells for repeat-volume joints — 24/5 capable. AWS D1.1 qualified across the team.
Forming & rolling
Press brakes for sheet and plate forming. Rolling for cylindrical and conical work. Tube bending. Combined with cut + weld to produce finished assemblies.
Combined-op weldments.
Most fab projects span industries. Click through to the closest match.
CNC milling
Many weldments need post-weld machining for fit-up faces. Same job, same shop.
/ CapabilityAssembly & kitting
Weldments often ship as sub-assemblies. We finish the assembly and kit.
/ IndustryIndustrial & heavy equipment
Frames, brackets, structural weldments for mining, ag, and process OEMs.
/ IndustryDefense
ITAR-controlled weldments. Mounts, housings, ground-support equipment.
Fabrication & welding questions, answered.
What welding processes are you certified for?
AWS D1.1 (structural steel) and D9.1 (sheet metal) qualified. TIG, MIG, and robotic welding.
Do you do robotic welding?
Yes — robotic cells for production weldments with repeatable bead geometry. Manual TIG and MIG for prototype, low-volume, and structural work.
What's your sheet metal thickness range?
Press brake forming from 18 GA up to ½″ plate. Laser cutting on carbon and stainless up to ¾″. Shear and saw for raw stock prep.
Can you handle structural weldments?
Yes — D1.1 qualification covers structural steel work. Frames, brackets, mounting weldments for industrial and defense applications. Full traceability and weld procedure documentation.
What does AWS D1.1 / D9.1 certification cover?
D1.1 is the AWS structural steel welding code — qualified procedures for load-bearing weldments. D9.1 is the sheet metal welding code — qualified procedures for thin-gauge and HVAC-style work. Both cover process, materials, joint design, and inspection requirements.
