Our Capabilities & Equipment

Capability Details / Application
Turret Punch Press Punching of thicknesses from 0.020″ to 0.125″ using a 48″ × 144″ bed (with repositioning to 216″)
Tool Stations Up to 32 stations (½″ to 3½″ holders), plus auto-index stations (1¼″, 2″)
Forming & Bending Brake press forming of flanges, jogs, edges, offsets (via connection with press brake capabilities)
Cutting Integration Water jet, laser, or turret-based cutting for blanks and profiles
Prototype & Production Capable of both small runs and higher-volume batches
Quick Turnaround Rapid tooling changes and flexibility to adapt designs quickly

Because Crenshaw offers cutting, stamping, forming, machining, and secondary operations in-house, we can:

  • Streamline production: parts move seamlessly from cutting → punching → bending → finishing
  • Reduce errors & alignment issues between operations
  • Simplify logistics & oversight: you deal with one trusted provider
  • Enable complex assembled parts: parts fabricated and assembled under one roof

We deliver sheet metal fabrication to industries such as:

  • Medical / Healthcare – enclosures, panels, instrument housings
  • Aerospace / Defense – structural covers, brackets, fairings
  • Industrial / Energy – control panels, machine guards, ducts
  • Transportation / Automotive – body panels, chassis brackets, mountings

Typical parts include panels, enclosures, brackets, jackets, covers, chassis, and subassemblies.

We commonly work with:

  • Aluminum (various alloys)
  • Stainless steel (304, 316, etc.)
  • Mild steel, galvanized steel
  • Specialty alloys upon request

We support parts from small to large dimensions (within machine envelope) and volumes from prototypes to full production runs.

Quality is part of every step:

  • Tool & die setups validated prior to run
  • In-process checks and verification
  • Dimensional inspection using calibrated gauges & metrology tools
  • Traceability and documentation following ISO 9001:2015 standards
  • Ability to meet customer-specific quality or inspection protocols

From concept to completed parts, we leverage our combination of turret punch, brake press forming, and cutting technologies to deliver custom sheet metal parts that hit your specifications.

Sheet Metal Fabrication FAQs

What is sheet metal fabrication?

It’s the process of cutting, bending, punching, forming, and finishing flat metal sheets into parts and assemblies.

We punch from 0.020″ to 0.125″ thickness on our turret punch system

Our turret punch bed is 48″ × 144″, with reposition capability to 216″.

We support up to 32 stations, plus auto-index tool stations for efficiency.

Yes — we combine turret punching, water jet / cutting, and CNC press brake forming to fabricate parts from start to finish.
