Article Revised August 17th, 2022 Automation is not a new concept in manufacturing; however, the types of automation in use grow more technologically advanced every day. This is certainly the case for robotic welding in metal fabrication environments, although it’s been around for more than 60 years. We covered the basics of robot welding two weeks ago, including … Continue reading “What is the difference between TIG and MIG robotic welding?”

EVS Metal has been one of the most trusted names in precision sheet metal fabrication for over 20 years. With four ISO 9001:2015-certified facilities across the U.S., our shops comprise over 250,000 total square feet of vertically-integrated manufacturing space offering a full range of services, from design and engineering to integration and assembly of complex … Continue reading “EVS Metal Acquires Jarco Industries, Inc., Grows CNC Machining Capacity by 400%”

Article Revised August 28th, 2022 As a full-service metal fabrication shop, EVS Metal offers a number of manufacturing solutions in-house, including welding. We offer both manual, operator-driven welding as well as robotic welding of aluminum and steel, but for the next several weeks, we’ll be focusing on the robotic side of our operation. Let’s start with the … Continue reading “Robotic Welding and the Future of Manufacturing”

EVS Metal is known for precision metal fabrication, and it’s a point of pride that we are one of the most trusted manufacturers in the industry. However, fabrication of aluminum and steel is only part of what our highly-trained staff does on a given day.  While laser cutting systems and press brakes make up a … Continue reading “What is Powder Coating? | Guide for 2022”

As a precision metal fabricator, EVS has invested in a wide range of press brakes over the last two decades.  In fact, we have more than 30 of these machines networked together across our four American fabrication facilities in order to accurately store programs and speed set-up of repeat jobs. With so many makes and … Continue reading “Not All Press Brakes are Created Equal”

Santa may have brought EVS Metal’s New Jersey facility an early gift of a new Amada press brake, but he has also apparently already swung by EVS’s New Hampshire metal fabrication location to deliver a very white Christmas in advance of his big day!  If Santa’s sleigh were to need some engineering upgrades, EVS Metal’s … Continue reading “A White Christmas for our New Hampshire Metal Fabrication Facility”

In the broad landscape of sheet metal fabrication equipment, lasers are the machines that get the majority of attention.  That’s understandable, given that lasers are, in fact, pretty cool. Watching light-cut metal is a pretty awe-inspiring sight to behold when you think about it.  But today, we’re here to sing the praises of the laser’s … Continue reading “EVS Metal’s Newest Press Brake: The Amada HG 8025NT”

After more than 25 years as precision sheet metal fabricator, EVS Metal has seen incredible changes to the industry, but no trend has been clearer than the gradual “greening” of metalworking. Fabrication has always been, by necessity, a fairly dirty business, but changes in best practices (often influenced by ISO 9001) combined with advances in … Continue reading “The Future of Metal Fabrication is Green”

Article Revised August 23rd, 2022 CO2 lasers and fiber lasers are both important cutting technologies in metal fabrication, but they offer distinctly different advantages and disadvantages for fabricators. CO2 Lasers: Pros and Cons CO2 cutting lasers are an older type of laser technology, which means that, in general, the price to acquire them has come … Continue reading “CO2 Lasers vs. Fiber Lasers for Metal Cutting & Fabrication: Which is Better?”

EVS Metal, Inc. a leading American precision metal fabricator, has acquired a new Amada Fiber Laser (LCG 3015 AJ) for their Riverdale, New Jersey facility. This versatile laser cutting system features some of the latest technology available for the completion of machining processes, allowing EVS to fabricate even quick-turn prototypes with unmatched speed and efficiency. … Continue reading “New Amada Fiber Laser Cutting System for EVS Metal Fabrication NJ”
