Stainless Steel Fabrication – An Astro Specialty Since 1987

2013-03-25T01:37:00.001-07:00

Astro Engineering was actually founded with stainless steel fabrication when we first opened our doors in 1987. That’s more than two decades which gives us a depth of experience that few have. Over that time we’ve been able to develop and refine both the processes and the tools we use in metal fabrication for everything from punched and formed stainless conveyor belting to stainless spiral chutes to stainless stair rails.

Our products are used in industry where ease of maintenance and longevity are paramount. For instance, we have an excellent reputation in the food industry for outstanding stainless steel fabrication. We build many custom items like screw conveyors and chutes fabricated from stainless steel which we design for easy cleaning in order to meet safety regulations while maintaining profitability.

Excellent quality control
The kind of metal fabrication we offer requires the attention to detail and experience that Astro provides. Our quality control includes regular inspection of both our equipment and our products. We make good use of print reviews and pre-fab conferences and make quality control an integral part of our training. All this and more assures buyers that our stainless steel fabricators consistently meets and even exceeds our customer’s requirements.

We also make sure we have exactly the right equipment we need to be sure we can create the kind of stainless metal fabrication our customers need. For example, we are experts with SolidWorks™ 3-D design. We understand cutting precisely with laser and our certified welding means we meet high standards when we fabricate stainless steel equipment and parts. We are also experts and machining and forming to order.

Known for our understanding of the materials involved and our creativity, we can take your idea – even if it’s only roughly sketched out – and turn it into exactly the product you need and want. We are also excellent at problem solving. If you’ve got metal conveyors or other items that aren’t working exactly the way you want it, let us show you how we can use our experience and imagination to make the needed changes. With more than 20 years of precision sheet metal fabrication you can be certain we know what we’re doing and that you’ll benefit from our experience.

More than stainless steel
Of course, we’re not limited to stainless steel for our metal fabrication. Our projects include metal light covers, elevator panels, copper wall trim, powder-coated steel store fixtures, and much more. We also work with aluminum products like sun shades and canopies. We bring the same high standards to our sheet metal fabrication as we do to our stainless products.

We are certified to work with metal fabrication in many government categories including DBE, WBE, SBA certified SBD, TGB, CERT. We’re familiar with government processes and have a reputation for completing projects on time and on budget.

At Astro Engineering we make metal perform.

Why Offshore Sheet Metal Fabrication Isn’t the Best Idea

2013-03-07T04:58:00.003-08:00

At Astro Engineering and Manufacturing Inc, we are strong advocates of reshoring—the process of bringing jobs back to the country. We provide leading-edge sheet metal fabrication services right here in the United States at highly competitive prices.

There are several benefits of procuring components such as electronic enclosures, OEM machine assemblies, and other industrial and commercial equipment onshore. Here are a few benefits of choosing onshore services from Astro:

Multiple processes under a single roof: From laser cutting to punching to forming to machining to welding, we are a single-point provider of all the services you need. And, we have close relationships for ancillary services such as powder coating, galvanizing, plating, wet painting, and others.
On-time delivery: The time and costs of shipping often overshadow the perceived cost savings that businesses seek offshore. Delays in production and shipping could put your project on hold. Astro provides you the shortest lead times.
Quality: This, perhaps, is the greatest concern that most enterprises face. However, quality is a given when you partner with a firm such as Astro for your stainless steel fabrication and metal fabrication needs.
Better design acumen: We use Solid Works for most all of ourdesign and drafting work. Having been in the American industry for over 20 years, we have experience and know-how in designing for manufacturing.
Other practical concerns: In addition to geographical constraints, there could be other problems pertaining to intellectual property. Even if you enlist our services for first-to-market products, you can be sure that your intellectual property is yours alone.

Thermal Augers

2012-07-24T05:03:00.000-07:00

Thermal augers are especially important to the food industry and the bio-energy pioneers. They are most often built with stainless steel fabricators, but sometimes carbon steel. The purpose of thermal auger to bring the material moved by the auger to a desired temperature. Thermal auger systems can be made to eitherheat or chill the product going through it. Food processors often like to keep their ingredients to a semi- frozen state, so a chilled conveying system is found most beneficial, however cheese manufacturers find a heated auger useful for moving and compressing cheese as it’s made.

Those companies involved in the production of bio-energy are looking to us to help on both their heating and cooling needs. At this time, Astro is able to provide augers that can attain temperatures between 32 and 500 degrees F. and a diameter range of 6” to 24”. We can also provide variable pitches, a variety of jackets and other components of a screw conveyor system.

Ornamental Railing for Minneapolis Light Rail Project

2012-05-03T01:00:00.000-07:00

Ornamental Railing for Minneapolis Light Rail Project

Astro fabricated this carbon steel railing for this bridge that was built over 35W for the new Central Corridor Light Rail Train connecting Minneapolis and St Paul. This is a heavy duty railing built to Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) standards. The project began with drafting, then following print approval, we brought in domestic steel tubing and plate. Next there was saw cutting, some custom laser cutting, and lots and lots of MIG welding, interspersed by inspections by MnDOT.

In order to be awarded a MnDOT project, a company must be a certified vendor of MnDOT. Astro went through the process and was approved for certification in 2009. The certification process is quite rigorous, similar to ISO certification. Welding certifications, inspections, material certifications, and other aspects that pertain to producing a top-notch quality product are all addressed in our Quality Control Manual. We continue to keep our certification by partaking in biennial audits by MnDOT.

Stainless Steel Railings for Train Stations

Stainless Steel Railings for Train Stations

This trailer load of stainless steel railing railings are packed and ready to head down to their installation location on the stations for the Light Rail Project for the Central Corridor. They are made of 316 stainless steel with a #4 brushed finish. We’re starting with ½” domestic bar stock, then cutting, polishing, machining and welding the bars to end up with a finished rail. There will be copper infill panels that will fill the interior opening.

Metal Fabrication for the Light Rail Industry

2012-02-09T01:12:00.000-08:00

Over a year ago, it started with our engineers designing the right gauge tie for the specifications and putting in a bid for the job. In 2011, we were awarded a contract to manufacture the leveling gauge ties for the new light rail train for the cities of Minneapolis and St Paul in Minnesota. The gauge tie is a great fit for the metal fabrication equipment we have at Astro. The metal used is carbon steel and fabrication for the tie involves shearing, punching, forming, welding, and assembly. The purpose of the gauge tie is to hold the rails of the train in place before the concrete gets poured. We'll be making about 10,000 pieces for this order.

Metal Fabricated Store Fixtures Installed

2010-04-01T01:50:00.000-07:00

How cool does this Surefoot store look??!!! This photograph shows the seating benches (with built-in tool drawers) designed for custom fitting of ski boots. On the ceiling in the photograph, you can see the specially designed light covers that adds to the upscale look of the store. These light covers were made of punched white aluminum.

In addition to the 2 large seating benches shown in the photograph, the other fixtures included special “foaming stands” used in creating the molds for Surefoot’s custom made ski boots, a digitizer, and other store accessories.

The LADG designed the project for high functionality, durability, and a clean new look for Surefoot. The material of choice was 16 gauge steel with a durable white powder coating finish. Using the architectural prints, Astro Engineering and Manufacturing created the shop drawings in CAD software, SolidWorks. The skilled metal fabricators at Astro sheared, laser cut, formed, welded, and assembled the steel fixtures.

Astro has the technology and wide metal fabricating capabilities so was able to do the complete job and ship on time even though the lead time was short. Our team of professionals works diligently and takes pride in satisfying needs and solving problems for our clients and customers.

Another Metal Fabrication Project Completed

This truck is loaded with the latest shipment of metal fabricated store fixtures and is heading out to the newly remodeled Surefoot store in Whistler BC just in time for the Olympics. The LADG designed the store layout and fixtures for a modern, upscale look, yet extremely durable to accommodate heavy ski boots.

Astro Engineering and Manufacturing fabricated the steel fixtures for Surefoot’s store in Steamboat Springs Colorado in November. Surefoot was so pleased with the function and look of the new metal fabricated store fixtures that they immediately decided to upgrade their store in Whistler in time for the Olympics. With no time to waste, both The LADG and Astro Engineering and Manufacturing worked feverishly to get this project designed and fabricated for on-time delivery before the Olympics started.

Check back on our blog soon for photos of the metal fabricated fixtures in place at the new store.
