Precision-Manufactured Metal Components for Solar Projects
Solar projects need metal components that meet precise specifications and maintain consistent dimensions across production runs. Metaltex is an Australian manufacturer of precision sheet metal products and fabricated components, based in Dandenong South, Melbourne. As a solar infrastructure manufacturer, we produce metal frames, mounting components, equipment housings and fabricated assemblies for the solar industry to customer drawings and project specifications.
We work with renewable energy companies, equipment manufacturers, contractors and OEMs who require custom metal components for solar installations. From prototypes to repeat production runs, our team manufactures components to your required dimensions, material specifications and quantities.
What We Manufacture for Solar Infrastructure
Metal products in solar projects are used for mounting purposes in addition to ensuring the safety of electrical and other essential equipment. There are different needs when it comes to metal requirements in each solar installation project.
Metaltex manufactures custom-fabricated components for solar mounting structure fabrication, including:
- Metal frames and mounting brackets for solar equipment
- Fabricated supports and structural components
- Equipment housings and electrical enclosures
- Mounting plates, fixing brackets and connection hardware
- Folded sheet metal panels and protective covers
- Custom frames and assemblies made to supplied drawings
- Fabricated components for solar equipment and related systems
Why the Right Folding Partner Matters
Each fold affects how the finished product fits and performs. Even a small angle error can affect the final assembly. Poor folding can also damage the material. It may cause cracks or weaken the area around the bend.
An experienced provider of metal folding services in Melbourne can help reduce these problems. The right workshop can also help you avoid unnecessary material waste, delays and additional production costs.
Our solar mounting structures are manufactured to your drawings and specifications. We manufacture as per your dimensions, thickness of metal, location of holes and methods of fixation that suit your particular application.
In case you need any other part for your solar system apart from the ones listed above, please get in touch with us.
Complete In-House Manufacturing Capabilities
At our Dandenong South facility, we have incorporated most of the manufacturing processes such as laser cutting, CNC folding, robotic and manual welding, and assembly processes. Our CAD/CAM systems assist in preparing drawings for production, while our CNC machines assist in maintaining the right dimensions when cutting and folding materials.
As a solar frame manufacturer, our emphasis at Metaltex is on the accuracy of dimensions and consistency in the manufacturing process. The holes for mounting, folds and connections need to match the drawing in order to ensure components fit correctly during assembly and installation. Compliance with approved drawings and specifications will help us achieve accurate dimensions in our manufacturing process.
Whether you need a prototype, a small batch or ongoing production, we discuss your needs and manufacturing process beforehand.
Quality Manufacturing Standards You Can Rely On
Metaltex is ISO 9001:2015 accredited for quality, and our metal components are manufactured using CAD/CAM and CNC technology. As a solar enclosure manufacturer, this allows us to retain control over component dimensions and production.
The materials used are dependent on the project requirements. Mild steel is used in some frames and brackets, whilst aluminium may be used for applications requiring lightweight components. Stainless steel could be an option if you require corrosion resistance in your project. Our experts will talk about material and finish options based on your engineering specifications and operating environment.
Renewable energy metal fabrication includes the manufacture of metal components having specific dimensional requirements, material specifications, and finishes. Depending on the project, quality checks may include component dimensions, hole positions, weld quality and assembly fit, among other criteria, depending on the project.
By reviewing these requirements before production, we establish clear manufacturing specifications for your solar infrastructure components.
