Sheet Metal Fabrication of a Metal Panel for a HVACR Equipment Application

Metal Panel for a HVACR Equipment

An HVACR equipment manufacturer was looking for a low-cost solution to an ongoing problem with a stamped sheet metal panel constructed of galvannealed steel. The customer was having difficulty obtaining quality exterior panels for their manufactured equipment. Their current supplier was not able to provide the level of quality and repeatability that was necessary and the panels had poor fit and many required re-drilling. The re-drilling and re-fitting of panels was slowing down production and driving up costs.

After an analysis of the customer’s drawings, AmeriStar determined that producing these parts on our turret press would provide the precision stamping that they required. Our high quality standards helped guarantee that the fit and finish of these steel panels would exceed our customer’s expectations.

Once completed, the finished panels where packaged in shipping containers to ensure that all of the parts reached their destination undamaged. To learn about our other services, please contact AmeriStar.
