GK Machine’s Fabrication Department offers customers the best quality in metal fabrication and welding services. GK are experts in welding, bending and machining your larger components or small custom projects. GK has been providing high quality metal cutting services for agriculture, industrial and manufacturing customers since 1976 in Donald, Oregon.
GK utilizes LEAN processes and procedures to meet customer turnaround times as well as the quality control checks to ensure accuracy and customer satisfaction. GK has the skills and equipment to meet all of your metal needs.
GK Welding and Fabrication department uses CAD renderings, CNC programming, forming operations and quality control processes to produce the best possible steel fabricated products for our customers. Whether your project includes plates, sheet metal, pipe, tube, channels or special extrusions with aluminum, stainless steel, thin gauge, brass, T1 harden plate, mild steel and structural steel. GK Machine is a full welding fabrication and production facility with certified structural welders on staff.
While some companies might shy away from oversized projects, GK Fabrication can handle parts up to 20 tons. With quick turnaround times and thorough quality control testing, GK Fab can fabricate and weld heavy products quickly, all while meeting or exceeding the toughest industry standards. GK has 106 certified cranes in the shop to easily move, form and fabricate some of the largest jobs in the industry.
Our top-of-the-line ESAB system is a heavy-duty combination form roller and automatic welding machine. GK’s new tank roller is integrated with an automatic welding machine to help us deliver maximum productivity in tank and cone processing. With multiple functions in a single machine, there’s no need for complex fixtures, multiple setups, or moving work pieces from station to station…all maximizing productivity and profitability for your project.
The Fit-Up Roller system is integrated with the ESAB robotic welding system and allows GK Machine to weld large tanks safely and efficiently. The Fit-Up Roller system is all hydraulic making it very simple for the operator to fit up tanks and to individually adjusts the rollers. The hydraulic system helps keep the tank round and seams tight.
CNC operated MAX Model Roll Forming machine can handle ultra-light gauges as well as thicker applications. The Roll Forming machine is designed to pre-bend and roll cylinders and cones. The benefit is the real hydraulic pre-bending. It clamps the material and pre-bends with minimum amount of residual flat end and straight edge. Full hydraulic movement and multiple independent hydraulic motors increase surface speed and ease of material handling. The MAX model will accommodate rolls up to 10 feet and 2 inches, and will handle high-resistance steel, heat treated, tested and certified carbon steel material.
