Red Oak Fabrication welds steel to AWS D1.1 code across 13 welding stations — two robot cells, one cobot cell, and ten manual pulse-MIG bays. We staff 11 AWS D1.1 certified welders, each with a 3G rating. Big OEM runs go to our Genesis Fanuc robotic arms; custom frames go to our Fronius synergic pulse-MIG welders. Either way you get full weld penetration, low heat warp, and clean code compliance.
Our shop mixes robot speed with skilled hand work. That lets us take a one-off prototype or a full production run. Here is the full list.
| Capability | Configuration | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Robotic Welding 2× Genesis Systems cells | Fanuc robotic arms | High-volume repeat OEM production |
| Collaborative Welding 1× Universal Robots cobot cell | 4′ × 8′ table | Mid-volume runs and short batches |
| Manual Welding 10× pulse-MIG bays | Fronius synergic pulse-MIG power | Custom frames, one-offs, large weldments |
| Max Weldment Envelope | 3.5′ × 6.5′ | Large frames, skids, and multi-piece assemblies |
| Certified Staff 11× AWS D1.1 welders | 3G vertical-up position | Groove and fillet welds — flat, horizontal, vertical |
| Materials Carbon, Stainless, Aluminum | A36, A572 · 304, 316 · 6061, 5052 | Structural, corrosion-resistant, and lightweight assemblies |
| Gauge Material Thickness | Up to 1.5″ plate | The plate and section ceiling across all three processes |
Integrity requires verifiable proof of welder skill and process control.
Most welded assemblies leave the shop to get finished. Ours don’t — blasting, pretreatment, and coating happen on the same floor, so there’s no freight leg and no second vendor between the weld and the finish.
Every job is tracked from raw material intake through final inspection, on mill-traceable stock.
Key dimensions are checked on a calibrated CMM before parts move downstream.
Eleven AWS D1.1 certified welders, each qualified to 3G position — with every weld inspected before it leaves the bay.
