Welding Services for Assembly & Manufacturing

Modern Industries Precision Machining & Assembly Division is a leading provider of welding services in Pennsylvania and can prepare fabrications or assemblies of several types, sizes, and configurations that combine machined parts with other customer-provided parts such as stampings or forgings. Modern Industries maintains a considerable number of quality certifications including AS-9100D, IATF-16949, ISO-17025, ISO-9001, and NADCAP, which are essential for the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries to remain compliant with relevant regulations.

At Modern Industries, we commit to quality driven by the success of our customers. Our unique combination of distinct divisions allows us to offer precision welding services to those who need trusted expertise that provides competitive advantages and durable performance. By operating with these divisions, we can easily offer specialized services for companies to a degree that may not typically be available from a shop of our size. Plus, we can offer custom solutions by communicating with you directly and determining the most efficient way to address your unique needs.

We have continually expanded our welding and fabrication capabilities to best suit the evolving demands of our customers. Keeping all secondary operations such as welding completely in-house permits an unbroken chain of quality assurance throughout the production process and close collaboration with production scheduling to meet expedited turnaround times.

Our Welding Capabilities

Our customers have frequently asked for simple sub-assemblies, where we place a few components into the parts that we machine. This has led to our team expanding our welding services to function as a comprehensive full-service shop for businesses that need extensive welding solutions. With our full capabilities, we perform welding, sequential torque tightening, pressure testing, tube rolling, actuator assemblies, function/fit testing, laser etching, barcoding, and more.

From spot welds to large weldments, our welding capabilities include:

  • AC, DC & Heliarc welding
  • FCAW – flux-cored arc welding
  • GTAW – gas tungsten arc welding
  • GMAW – gas metal arc welding
  • SMAW – shielded metal arc welding
  • MIG and TIG welders
  • Oxy-acetylene welding

Benefits of Welding

Our welding services offer numerous benefits our customers can experience when compared to other methods for joining components together. These benefits include the following:

  • Versatility: Since our welding solutions are customizable and compatible with various material types, they can be applied across a wide range of industries and applications.
  • Durability: Welding is among the best methods for creating a permanent bond between two separate components or surfaces. While relevant for all sizes of components, this durable and reliable performance is critical to the success of large or more robust weldments designed to withstand immense forces or challenging operating conditions.
  • Joint Strength: The sheer strength of high-quality welding offers unmatched performance and longevity in joints compared to other non-welding alternatives like fasteners and adhesives.
  • Cost-Efficiency: Welding tends to be notably cost-effective compared to alternative ways to join components. While the project specifications will affect the overall cost of the job, the process tends to be relatively straightforward and fast. With less labor time required, costs are limited significantly allowing our customers to stay within tight budgets and deadlines without sacrificing quality results.
