Fabrication & Welding

Valley Machine Co. offers high quality fabrication services to support your needs. Our mix of equipment provides us with the ability to manufacture medium to high volume production runs as well as single unit prototypes.

LASER                            Laser Cutting

Our Laser Cutting Centers allow Valley Machine Co. to provide an added dimension to the traditional job shop material processing capability. This capability allows us in many instances to eliminate additional machining requirements that normally would be required—reducing both cost and lead time for our customers. Each laser is equipped with a 48”x96” table and the ability to cut up to ½” plate.

Welding

Our welders are certified to AWS and ASME codes, including GMAW, FCAW, GTAW, SMAW welding processes. Valley Machine Co.’s capabilities include MIG, TIG, Flux Core and Stick welding.
