Southeast Fabricators – Metal Fabrication

Southeast Fabricators is an experienced custom metal fabricator here in the central florida area.  They specialize in metal fabrication techniques and can handle projects of a considerably large size.  I recently had the opportunity to visit their “old” metal fabrication facility in Travares, FL.  While I wish I could say that the facility gave me a good first impression; honestly, it did not.  The building has major roof leaking problems and everything looks rusty and dirty.  Fortunately, they make up for it with their knowledge and experience.  I also was very impressed with their machinery available.

They have a huge 4000 Watt KOIKE Laser System with a 12 foot by 60 foot bed.  It’s huge and much bigger than anything I saw while at Laser Photonics.  It makes Laser Photonics’ Titan look small.  They also have a very large waterjet table (10 foot by 20 foot bed) which cut very clean edges.  I’d almost have to say that the cuts I saw created by the water jet looked much cleaner than those by the laser.  It probably has a lot to do with the thickness of the materials.  The laser is better at cutting the thiner sheets of steel, where the water jet table cuts the thicker 2 plus inches thickness of steel much better.  Overall, a very interesting visit.
