TubeWay is a premier North American contract manufacturer specializing in high-volume tube laser cutting and turnkey fabrication. We support the construction, agriculture, automotive, and material handling industries with precision components and advanced jumbo laser capabilities. Learn more about our press brake metal forming, CNC machining services, robotic welding services, and arc welding services below.
Turnkey Fabrication Capabilities
Most tube laser cutting projects require additional fabrication steps before they are ready for final assembly. We coordinate these secondary operations through our network of trusted local partners: the majority of which are local to our facility. This localized approach gives your purchasing team a single point of contact for complete project delivery.
Our engineering teams manage the entire fabrication sequence. You work with us directly while we handle vendor coordination, quality control, and scheduling across all stages. This streamlined process seamlessly integrates press brake metal forming, CNC machining services, robotic welding services, and arc welding services under one project umbrella.
Whether you need a dozen prototypes or production runs reaching millions of pieces, we scale our secondary operations to match your volume requirements. Our standard is 2-week lead time for cut-parts and 5-week for complete assemblies.
Fabrication & Machining
Flat Sheet Laser Cutting
Flat sheet laser cutting complements our tube laser capabilities when projects require mounting plates, brackets, or custom panels. We coordinate laser cutting for carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum sheet materials. Tolerances strictly match your specifications, and we proactively nest multiple part geometries to optimize material usage and reduce scrap.
Press Brake Forming
Press brake metal forming creates precise bends in flat sheet components. Our partners handle everything from single bends for simple brackets to multi-bend parts requiring advanced setups. Our network programs specific bend sequences to:
- Maintain tight angular tolerances
- Minimize material handling between operations
- Guarantee structural integrity across the bend radius
Tube Bending
Tube bending transforms straight cut sections into curved assemblies for exhaust systems, handrails, and structural components. We specify the exact bend radii, wall thickness requirements, and mandrel usage based on your application. Bending happens after cutting but before welding to maintain strict dimensional accuracy.
CNC Machining
CNC machining services add threaded holes, counterbores, and precision features that laser cutting alone cannot achieve. Our local machining partners execute:
- Precision milling for flat mating surfaces
- High-speed drilling for assembly points
- Automated tapping for threaded fasteners
We enforce machining tolerances of ±0.005″ or tighter when your specific assembly requires it.
Welding Services
Welding joins your fabricated components into finished assemblies. We coordinate arc (GMAW/MIG), robotic, and laser welding to match the method to your materials, volume, and joint requirements, all backed by CWB certification. We routinely coordinate post-weld grinding and finishing as part of the same continuous operation.

Finishing Options
Painting
Wet painting creates smooth, uniform coatings for parts exposed to moderate environmental conditions. We coordinate the complete surface preparation, primer application, and topcoat finishing. Wet paint serves as an ideal solution for indoor applications or components that require highly specific color matching.
Powder Coating
Powder coating produces durable finishes that resist chipping, scratching, and UV degradation significantly better than wet paint. The electrostatic application process coats complex geometries uniformly. Facilities frequently utilize this method for:
- Outdoor construction equipment
- Heavy-duty material handling systems
- High-wear industrial applications
Galvanizing
Hot-dip galvanizing delivers the longest-lasting corrosion protection available for steel components. The zinc coating bonds metallurgically to the base material and self-heals minor surface scratches. We coordinate galvanizing for structural assemblies, outdoor installations, and any application where decades-long service life justifies the initial finishing cost.
End-to-End Project Support
Our ISO 9001-certified process maintains strict quality control across all secondary operations. We thoroughly inspect incoming materials, monitor fabrication at our partner facilities, and perform final verification before shipping. This integrated approach means your engineering and purchasing teams work with one reliable supplier instead of managing multiple distinct vendors.
From initial tube laser cutting through press brake metal forming, CNC machining services, robotic welding services, arc welding services, and final finishing, we manage the complete fabrication sequence.
