Welded Assembly
Gerstenslager has in-house process engineers who design and develop welding processes for all of our assembly production. Each part is analyzed and the process designed to fit in one of our 25 flexible assembly work stations, many times eliminating the need for our customers to maintain their own production assembly equipment. Our customers appreciate it because it reduces the cost of tool transportation and allows them to re-engineer or dispose of their equipment.
Our flexible assembly cells are designed to be lean and efficient for both high volume production and short run, low volume quantities. Robotic and manual spot welding are primarily used for assembling the parts, but we are also capable of projection and mig welding, riveting, toggle locking, and aluminum welding.
When parts require a hemming operation, Gerstenslager provides the most cost effective solution. Our hydraulic 400 ton hem press is positioned in-line with the stamping and final assembly operations in order to maintain a continuous work flow through the plant. When customer hem dies are not available, our robotic roller hemming capabilities can accommodate low volume service or production quantities saving customers significant capital.
