A / Process scope
Kestrel fabricates sheet and plate components, including cutting, bending and forming, hardware insertion, and joining, to customer drawings and flat patterns. From single brackets to multi-part weldments, each job is reviewed for bend radii, grain direction, hole-to-edge distances, and tolerance stack-up before we quote.
Where a design can be simplified for the press brake or the weld bench, our review flags it at quotation stage so you can decide before tooling time is committed. Tolerances follow the drawing; where a print is silent, we confirm the applicable standard with you rather than assume.
B / Typical work
- Brackets and mounting plates
- Enclosures and cabinets
- Chassis and frames
- Panels, covers, and guards
- Weldments and sub-assemblies
- Prototype to repeat production quantities
C / Materials & finishes
Fabrication work commonly involves carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum sheet and plate in a range of gauges. State the alloy, temper, and thickness on your RFQ, and we confirm availability, minimum bend radii, and any grain or finish constraints as part of the quote.
