Welding

Various welding methods are used in sheet metal work, including MIG (Metal Inert Gas), TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), and spot welding.

MIG welding is commonly used for its speed and versatility, making it suitable for thicker materials and larger projects. TIG welding offers superior precision and a clean finish, ideal for delicate or high-quality stainless steel and aluminium work. Spot welding is often used for thin sheets, joining metal at specific points.
Professional welding ensures components can withstand mechanical stress, environmental factors, and electrical safety requirements. Proper welds help maintain the enclosure’s protective qualities, preventing ingress of dust and moisture while providing structural support.

MIG, TIG and Spot Welding for Sheet Metal Fabrication

Welding turns cut and folded sheet metal into strong, accurate and durable assemblies for custom electrical enclosures, switchboard frames, panels, brackets, duct covers and structural components.

We select the process to suit the material, thickness and application. MIG is fast and versatile for thicker material, TIG gives precise, clean finishes on stainless steel and aluminium, and spot welding joins thin sheet at specific points.

The result is a sound weld that holds its shape, protects the equipment inside and integrates cleanly into the next stage of fabrication and final assembly.

Spot Welding for Sheet Metal Fabrication

Why Welding Quality Matters in Electrical Manufacturing

Sound welds improve strength, protection and finish across every fabricated component.

Structural Strength

Supports mechanical stress, handling and the weight of internal switchgear and busbars.

Ingress Protection

Helps keep dust and moisture out of enclosures, where it matters most.

Clean Finish

TIG welding delivers neat, precise joints on visible stainless steel and aluminium work.

Process Flexibility

MIG, TIG and spot welding are matched to material, thickness and application.

Consistent Quality

Supports dependable results across custom enclosures, batch after batch.

In-House Welding Capability

RMS owns the process from design and fabrication through to assembly and support. By keeping welding and related fabrication in-house, RMS can maintain tighter control over quality, coordination, and lead times. (33)

Every job follows the same path: design review, material preparation, cutting and folding, welding, quality check, then assembly. (18)

  • Better coordination between cutting, folding and welding
  • Improved consistency across fabricated components
  • Faster movement between fabrication and assembly
  • Stronger quality control throughout production
  • Practical insight from experienced electrical manufacturing specialists
