Fabrication and Machining Solutions
from Ad-Vance Magnetics
Premier Sheet Metal Fabrication and Specialized Machining
Capabilities Built for Your Success
Delivering complex manufacturing solutions.
Sheet Metal Fabrication Services
Ad-Vance provides precision sheet metal fabrication for custom components and complex magnetic shielding assemblies.
Our capabilities include laser cutting, forming, and other specialized fabrication processes. From individual components to complex assemblies, our team works with customers to understand the requirements of each part and determine the most effective path to production.
Engineering Support for Manufacturability
At Ad-Vance, customers get more than fabrication. We provide engineering guidance throughout the manufacturing process to help identify potential challenges.
During our technical feasibility review, we evaluate part geometry, tolerances, forming requirements, material considerations, and other critical features to determine how the component can be manufactured accurately and consistently.
Our deep expertise allows us to provide DFM recommendations to simplify the production of your parts.
Process Control and Inspection
We prioritize control at every stage of production to ensure high-quality results and maintain consistency across parts. For example, when laser cutting and forming, our team works diligently to verify flat patterns and confirm calculations to ensure repeatability.
Dock-To-Stock Quality
Our internal quality controls are so rigorous that our major partners completely bypass their incoming inspections. We don’t just pass their standards; we become their trusted Dock-to-Stock standard.
This saves customers significant time and overhead associated with receiving and inspecting components.
In-House Tooling for Complex Fabrication
Ad-Vance manufactures tooling in-house required for complex parts. This allows us to maintain greater control over the fabrication process. Customers experience more efficient, streamlined manufacturing thanks to our in-house tooling capabilities, which include:
Form Dies
Custom-machined tooling used to produce intricate sheet metal profiles with accuracy and repeatability.
Spinning Lathe Tooling
Specialized mandrels and rollers used to form symmetrical and contoured cylindrical components.
Broach Bars and Transition Plugs
Precision-machined tooling used for specialized internal features.
Fabrication for Magnetic Shielding
Ad-Vance specializes in fabricating magnetic shielding components for demanding applications, using specialized materials, including its AD-MU magnetic shielding alloys and proprietary CP-EXP-1184 cryogenic shielding material.
Our fabrication capabilities support custom shielding designs, including enclosures, chambers, formed components, and other specialized shielding assemblies.
As a leader in the industry, we understand that shielding performance depends on how material selection, cutting, forming, machining, tooling, and assembly all interact throughout the manufacturing process.
Specialized Machining Services
Ad-Vance’s specialized machining capabilities support our sheet metal fabrication services, allowing us to manufacture critical components and features under one roof.
Our milling capabilities are built to handle the critical features that cannot be produced through sheet metal processes alone, including precision brackets, flanges, and standoffs, and other components that require ultra-tight tolerances.
This integrated approach is especially valuable for assemblies that combine fabricated shielding components with precision-machined parts. By coordinating these processes internally, we can improve fitment and simplify project management.
Supporting a Simplified Supply Chain
Combining fabrication and machining under one roof gives customers a single manufacturing partner for complex projects.
One Point of Accountability
When one shop is responsible for multiple manufacturing processes, customers have a single point of contact for coordinating components.
A Closed-Loop Manufacturing Process
We laser cut and form sheet metal, machine subcomponents, and produce custom tooling to ensure all components work together as intended. This is especially helpful when producing complex assemblies.
A Manufacturing Partner for Complex Projects
Ad-Vance Magnetics brings specialized fabrication, machining, tooling, and quality control together to support complex components, including magnetic shielding assemblies and other. Explore our resources below to discover how partnering with Ad-Vance can fuel your next project.
Material Matrix
Selecting the correct shielding material is critical to ensure peak performance. Our material matrix allows customers to cross-reference competitor brand names and legacy trade names to identify Ad-Vance equivalents, simplifying material selection.
Magnetic shielding alloys, cryogenic materials, nickel alloys, and Ad-Mu materials can be explored in the matrix.
DFM Guide
Our comprehensive design for manufacturability (DFM) guide outlines important considerations for magnetic shielding fabrication and ensures engineers avoid common pitfalls before submitting an RFQ.
Interactive shielding calculator
Customers can use our interactive shielding calculator to evaluate design considerations and gain insight into performance factors during early-stage development.
We developed these tools to help customers make better decisions earlier in the process, and improve efficiency so projects stay on track.
