Industrial Machinery
Components Built for Reliability & Precision

HFI Manufacturing fabricates control panels, machine guards, and structural components for industrial machinery OEMs. Precision sheet metal built for demanding factory environments.

Fabrication for Industrial Equipment

Industrial machinery requires heavy-gauge enclosures, precision guards, and structural frames that withstand vibration, heat, and continuous operation. HFI fabricates components for CNC machines, packaging equipment, conveyors, and automated manufacturing systems.

We work with your engineers to integrate electrical panel mounting, cable routing, and access provisions directly into the fabrication design — reducing panel building and field wiring time.

Our Industrial Machinery Capabilities

Fabrication processes designed for the vibration, heat, and precision requirements of industrial equipment.

Quality

ISO 9001-certified quality with documented inspections, CMM verification, and full traceability to ensure industrial components meet demanding tolerances, durability, and repeatable production standards.

Cutting

Fiber laser cuts up to 1/2″ steel with clean edges. Precision cutouts for electrical knockouts, cable glands, and vent slots.

Bending

Press brakes handle 7ga steel and 3/8″ plate. Consistent ±0.005″ for structural frame and panel fit-up.

Welding

Robotic and manual MIG welding for machine frames, bases, and enclosures. CMM-verified dimensional accuracy after welding.

Assembly & Kitting

Sub-panel mounting, DIN rail installation, PEM hardware, and door assembly. Kitted with all hardware for field installation.

Finishing

Powder coating and two-part epoxy finishes for industrial environments. Chemical-resistant and abrasion-resistant options.
