Z&L Machining, Inc. was approached by a Tennessee-based construction equipment company to manufacture welded brackets. These laser-cut and hot-rolled 1018 steel bar stock brackets were sawed to a length of 4.331″ ±.020″ using a KASTO machine.
They were drilled, tapped, and deburred with an Okuma CNC Mill. Afterward, the seats were welded to the HR A-36 plate with a Miller MIG welder.
Each bracket was tested and inspected using calipers, thread gages, and a CMM. Using these top-of-the-line machines and processes, we were able to create a run of 1,400 brackets within tightest tolerances of +.005/ -.003″.
