WELDING & FABRICATED METAL WELDMENTS

EVS Metal’s welding capability spans four facilities and covers MIG, TIG, robotic, and spot welding — supporting everything from simple weldments to complex, multi-component frame assemblies and UL-certified enclosures. All EVS welders are certified to AWS D9.1M/D9.1 Sheet Metal Welding Code at minimum, with certification to additional codes available as program requirements dictate.

Robotic welding is a significant part of our production welding capacity. EVS runs UR20 and UR10e collaborative welding robots with Fronius TPS 400i Advanced Push-Pull MIG units at the New Jersey and Texas facilities, delivering consistent weld quality on repeat production runs without the variability that comes with manual welding at volume. For programs where cosmetics, distortion control, or high repeatability are requirements, robotic welding is the default approach where geometry allows.

Because welding is in-house across all four facilities, weld quality is documented within the same quality system as every other process stage. Certifications, weld traveler records, and code compliance documentation are produced by EVS — not requested from a subcontractor after the fact.

Welding is where fabrication complexity tends to accumulate. A part that’s been laser cut, formed, and deburred to spec can still fail at the weld stage if fixturing is inconsistent, if heat management isn’t controlled, or if the welder working the fourth shift doesn’t match the quality of the first. At production scale — repeat orders, dock-to-stock programs, multi-facility routing — those variables have to be engineered out, not managed around.

EVS approaches welding the same way it approaches the rest of production: with dedicated fixturing designed in-house, with robotic automation on geometries that repeat, and with certified welders who work within a defined quality system rather than to informal shop standards. In New Jersey, the facility runs both a gantry-style spot welding setup for heavier and larger parts and platen-style spot welding equipment that enables cosmetically clean spot welds on visible surfaces. In Texas and New Jersey, the UR-series cobots handle high-volume MIG welding programs with Fronius wire-feed units. The New Hampshire facility runs a Lincoln Electric System 35 Power Wave i400 two-station robotic welder for additional automated capacity.

For OEM customers building enclosures, frames, chassis, or complex weldments in sustained production quantities, the combination of robotic and manual welding capability — inside a certified quality system, with in-house fixture design — is what makes EVS a welding partner rather than just a welding vendor.
