Check out our Trumpf TruBend 1320 in action! We were able to turn around Tuesday's 168-part order so quickly that the client put in an order for 198 more pieces!

Because the TruBend saves the bend angles and sequences from previous jobs to its memory, we were able to reload those settings and get to work as soon as the order came in. 3 bends per 131 x 18.5" sheet — two 150s on the edges and a 130 down the middle.

If you've got a project that requires some large-scale bending like this, you can request a quote over at sdsma.com/quote, or contact our Shop Superintendent at [email protected] for more information.

Our Trumpf TruLaser 1040 is fully installed and ready to roll!

We started production work as soon as testing was finished, and now it's cutting through 1/4" aluminum at speeds up to 990 inches per minute. Keep an eye on our Facebook and LinkedIn pages -- this is going to be a VERY busy machine for SDSMA!

If YOU need some laser cutting work done, visit sdsma.com/quote to submit an RFQ, or email our Shop Superintendent at [email protected] -- we'll follow up within 1-2 business days and can offer same-day turnaround on qualifying orders.

We've been putting our Trumpf TruBend 1320 press brake to work! Finished up an order for 168 of these 131" x 18.5" pieces today — couldn't even fit them all on one pallet. Each sheet required two 150° bends along the edges and a 130° bend down the middle. That's 504 bends in total!

Having a CNC press brake like ours meant we only had to configure those bend angles once. After that, it was as easy as loading the metal and hitting the foot pedal, and our guys were able knock out all 504 of those bends in no time at all.

BIG week for our fab shop! Our BRAND NEW Trumpf TruLaser 1040 laser cutter arrived safe and sound. It has a 12kW laser, a 6' x 13' bed, programmable automation, and can cut through material up to 1.25" thick. There's still a little bit of setup and calibration left to go, but she'll be firing on all cylinders and slicing some metal by next week.

If you or your business needs some laser cutting done, head over to sdsma.com/quote for a free consultation. Alternatively, you can contact our shop manager directly at [email protected]. We'll get back to you within 2 business days, and can even offer same-day turnaround on qualifying orders.

Did you know that SDS has a UL 508A-certified panel shop?
Our engineers can design, build, test, ship, and install industrial control panels of all shapes and sizes -- all 100% in-house. We don't do any outsourcing, and don't deal with any middlemen. We've got the employees and the equipment to handle entire panel builds on our own, from start to finish.

These are just a few highlights from over the years -- we've built hundreds of panels like these for clients all over the world, for jobs big and small. We've designed some from scratch, built others based on client specifications, and have even recreated damaged or destroyed panels from the ground up.

Head over to sdsma.com/panelshop to learn more about what we do -- and if you've got an industrial project coming up or need some custom control panels of your own, drop us a line at sdsma.com.

How about some five-axis machining action?

This is a video from inside our HAAS VF-6 -- one of the coolest machines in our entire shop. The mounting arm in its center can move along the X, Y, and Z axes, and it can rotate in any direction. There isn't a single nook or cranny that this thing can't reach!

This particular piece is a custom steel bracket for one of our clients. The VF-6's movements are fully automated via CNC, so we can pump out as many of these guys as we need to, and rest easy knowing they'll all come out identical. We've machined parts like these as prototypes, custom one-off builds, and in batches of 30, or 60, or 120... the sky's the limit when you've got equipment like this.

If you've got a machining job on the horizon, drop us a line at sdsma.com/machineshop -- and check out the full scope of our services and capabilities on our homepage, sdsma.com.
