Meeting the demands of large and complex fabrication projects takes powerful material handling capabilities, customized industrial machinery, and a degree of finesse that not every metal fabrication shop is equipped to handle or experienced enough to pull off efficiently. The more robust the build is, the harder it can be to find reliable fabrication partners that can deliver. As one of South Dakota’s leading oversized manufacturers, we understand the frustration of constantly hearing that your project is too complex and too big to handle. Here’s our advice.
Go Big and Go Home
Industrial manufacturing in America is undergoing rapid transformation as the demand for domestic production ramps up. However, capacity for oversized fabrication projects is limited, forcing OEMs and general contractors to source from overseas suppliers. Even then, options are limited. When individual components span 50 feet or more in length, there’s only a scattering of providers worldwide that can handle complex fabrication jobs of that magnitude. Horizontal Machining & Manufacturing Industries just happens to be one of them, and the only one in North America.
Don’t Break Up Designs, Brake Records
For decades, oversized projects often meant breaking designs into smaller sections, welding them together, and accepting the added costs and structural tradeoffs. HMMI’s new press brake eliminates that compromise. With a massive 60-foot forming length, nearly 5-foot throat depth, and 4-foot stroke depth, we can bend some of the largest industrial components in existence with precision accuracy.
With North America’s largest press brake, OEMs can simplify builds with stronger, single-formed parts instead of designing around equipment limitations.
Take Your Complex Fabrication Project to the Next Level
Large-scale projects are highly sensitive to tolerance slips and demand more than brute force fabrication. They require controlled power and advanced capabilities to prevent wrapping and twisting and ensure optimal form, fit, and function. Our 10-axis Durma press brake combines advanced crowning systems, motorized adjustable V-dies, and automated punch tip exchanges to ensure exact bending tolerance across every inch of a 60-foot component. Paired with advanced automated material handling and extraction systems, we reduce cycle times, minimize downtime, and keep operators safe.
Go Ahead, Make Oversized An Understatement
North America’s largest, most advanced press brake is providing American OEMs with a domestic solution for the world’s most oversized challenges, something they’ve never had before. Complex fabrication designs no longer require sectional assembly or overseas support. Now, they can be formed, finished, and delivered entirely in the U.S.
When your project is too big for everyone else, it’s just the right size for HMMI, LLC. Contact us today and put the HMMI Advantage to work for you.
