Defence Industries: The Defence sector uses Wilson & Gilkes sheet metal fabricated metal brackets for their lightweight yet robust characteristics. These brackets are crucial in ship building and workshop storage units.
Commercial Furniture: Wilson & Gilkes sheet metal fabricated metal brackets are widely used in the manufacturing of commercial furniture. They offer stability and strength to items such as shelves and storage units, ensuring their structural integrity and user safety.
Wilson & Gilkes Sheet Metal Manufacturing Process:
The manufacturing process of fabricated metal brackets involves several stages including design, material selection, fabrication, and finishing. Wilson & Gilkes computer-aided design (CAD) software assists in creating precise and detailed bracket designs, taking into account factors such as load-bearing requirements and specific application needs.
Once the design is finalised, the chosen metal material is cut into the desired shape using automated punching or laser cutting techniques. The brackets are then formed, bent, or welded to achieve the required geometry and strength. Surface finishing techniques like powder coating, plating, or painting may be applied to enhance durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics.
