Why Choose Accurate for Sheet Metal Fabricating?

Our approach to sheet metal fabricating centers on three principles: precision, expertise, and manufacturability. Our engineering team reviews every project for value-engineering opportunities, manufacturability improvements, and quality verification. Our Cicero location features advanced automation and a full lineup of lasers, turret presses, welders, and finishing lines. We deliver consistent results at scale — and on schedule.

We support medium-to-high-volume production and specialize in:

  • Tight-tolerance fabricated components

  • Multi-operation assemblies

  • Complex 3D forms

  • Production programs requiring consistent parts, every time

  • Projects that integrate perforated and fabricated components

If you're looking for a partner who understands the full lifecycle of a fabricated part — from design to finishing — our team is ready to help.

Our Fabricating Capabilities

Accurate Metal Fabricating offers one of the nation's most comprehensive sets of fabrication processes. Below is a rundown of our fabricating capabilities and equipment, ready to serve your needs.

CNC Metal Punching

CNC punching is one of our core strengths, backed by more than seven decades of metalworking experience. With multiple CNC turret presses, dozens of perforating presses, and hundreds of tools, we can punch everything from simple holes to complex, highly engineered patterns.

Capabilities include:

  • Material thickness: 28 gauge to 1/8"

  • Material widths up to 5'

  • Sheet lengths up to 10'

  • Ability to run continuous coils hundreds of feet long

  • A 33-ton, 58-station Amada EMZ 3610 with a 60" × 100" bed

  • Six additional Amada turret presses for volume flexibility

If your design requires intricate punching, high throughput, or large-format sheet handling, our equipment has you covered.

Press Brakes & Bending

Our forming department combines decades of expertise with state-of-the-art technology. With a broad mix of Amada and Accurpress press brakes, we form parts up to 10 feet wide with consistency you can rely on.

Key forming capabilities:

  • Material widths up to 10'

  • A 143-ton, 8-axis CNC Amada HDS 1303NT press brake

  • An 88-ton, 8-axis CNC Amada HDS 8025 brake

  • Multiple 100-ton and 60-ton brakes for small-to-medium parts

  • Deep tool library plus custom tooling for unique geometries

Whether you need precision flanges, complex 3D forms, or consistency across thousands of parts, our forming team delivers reliable results.

Metal Perforating

Because Accurate Metal Fabricating is part of the Accurate Family of Companies, we also offer extensive perforating capabilities through Accurate Perforating.

Perforating highlights:

  • Hole sizes from 0.045" to 4"

  • Sheets, coils, blanks, and entirely fabricated components

  • Aluminum, stainless, carbon steel, galvanized steel, and more

  • A tooling library with more than 2,000+ patterns

  • Custom pattern development for specialized applications

This integration allows us to produce perforated components that seamlessly transition into forming, welding, and assembly operations.

Three Laser Tables

Laser cutting is ideal for complex shapes, tight tolerances, and production flexibility. Our automated laser systems run lights-out to support faster turnaround times and reduced labor costs.

Laser cutting capabilities include:

  • Cutting area up to 5' × 10'

  • Material thickness up to 5/8" (stainless, aluminum, carbon steel)

  • Automated loading/unloading for 24/7 operation

  • Clean edges and high-repeatability parts

  • Ideal for low-to-medium (and many high-volume) production runs

Laser cutting eliminates tooling costs and accelerates the path from design to production

Precision Welding

Our welding team is equipped to handle everything from thin-gauge components to enclosure assemblies. With robotic, MIG, TIG, and spot welding capabilities, we deliver both aesthetic and structural weld quality.

Welding capabilities include:

  • Welding material from 28 gauge to 1"

  • Expertise in stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and mixed materials

  • Robotic welding for repeatable accuracy

  • Fronius cold metal transfer MIG welding for thin materials

  • Spot welding tables for production environments

Whether your project requires clean visual welds or structural connections, we can build it with precision.

Light Stamping

Sheet Metal Fabricating Services

For projects that require decorative features or precise impressions, our light-stamping capabilities deliver clean, consistent results.

We support:

  • Parts smaller than a nickel and thinner than a dime

  • Light-gauge materials up to 11 gauge

  • Carbon steel, aluminum, stainless, brass, copper

  • Press beds up to 60" × 100"

  • A high-speed, automated stamping environment

Shearing & Metal Cutting

We operate multiple shears with a wide range of capacities to support your sheet-metal fabrication requirements.

Capabilities include:

  • Material up to 1" thick

  • Material up to 10' wide

  • Conveyor shears that cut 100+ pieces per minute

  • Tight tolerances for repeat production

PEM® Insertion

PEM® fasteners provide reliable threads and mounting points in thin sheet metal — ideal for enclosures, electronics, and assemblies.

Advantages:

  • Clinch sheets as thin as 0.016"

  • Attach sheets as thin as 0.008"

  • Strong, reliable, permanent mounting points

  • Compatible with presses, weld technology, and surface-mount hardware

Riveting — Tubular & Pop

Riveting is an excellent alternative to welding for components requiring low heat input, mixed materials, or cost savings.

Riveting benefits:

  • Strong joints

  • Tight, reliable fit

  • Works with steel, aluminum, plastic, composites, and pre-painted materials

  • Often more cost-effective than welding

Our engineers perform joint analysis to recommend the right fastening method for your requirements.
