Capability 04
Welding & Fabrication
TIG welding, spot welding, seamless welding, assembly and sub-assembly — prototype development through production runs and assembly-line fabrication.
Detail
How MCS uses it
TIG welding
Used where the weld is visible and has to disappear after dressing. Control over heat input matters most on thin sheet and on finishes that show distortion.
Spot welding
For concealed joints and for assembling panel returns and stiffeners where a continuous weld would distort the face.
Seamless joints
Welds are dressed, ground and buffed back so that a fabricated corner reads as a folded one. This is the reason MCS coats after fabrication rather than before.
Assembly
Sub-assemblies are built and checked before finishing, so a system arrives on site as units rather than as loose components to be resolved by the installer.
Prototype
One-off mock-ups and samples are made on the same machines as production, so what is approved is what gets repeated.
Production
Bulk and contract runs, with numbering and packing sequence set to suit the installation order.
