Fabrication Shop
(Left) Fabrication Shop welders draw on information provided by Caterpillar's world-famous metallurgy labs to repair damage on high-impact components like buckets and blades. Their skills can add years to the life of these expensive, hard-working tools.
Empire Precision Machining isn't the only Empire shop set up to mold and shape big iron. Our Fabrication Shop has the people and tools to weld, bend, drill and grind large metal components. All the sheet metal from a Certified Rebuild job goes to the Fab Shop.
The shop also handles restoration of heavy-duty parts like dozer blades, buckets and scraper bowls.
Fab Shop welders repair cracks, build up edges and fill bolt holes to be retapped. They grind and sand surfaces to restore components to their original shape and strength. The Fab Shop plays a major role in making the Certified Rebuild look new when it's put back together.
Grinders smooth and polish steel welded to components to strengthen joints. Finish is important for safety and aesthetics.
