Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of assembly does PT Metals handle?
PT Metals specializes in multi-component metal assembly and sub-assembly manufacturing. Services include hardware insertion (PEM fasteners, threaded inserts, studs, standoffs), metal component assembly, welded sub-assemblies, and complete finished sub-assemblies ready for customer integration or final assembly. All work is performed in-house with quality control built into every step.
What are PEM fasteners and why use them?
PEM fasteners are self-contained fastening systems that create permanent threaded holes in sheet metal without drilling from the reverse side. They provide clean, professional-looking results and eliminate the need for counter-boring or post-drilling. PT Metals installs all common types: studs, standoffs, threaded bushings, and clinch nuts with precision to your specifications.
What is the advantage of single-source assembly?
Single-source assembly eliminates vendor coordination, reduces lead times significantly, minimizes shipping costs (one package instead of multiple), and ensures consistent quality control. With PT Metals, components move from laser cutting → forming → welding → hardware insertion → finishing → assembly all under one roof with one point of contact. This integrated approach catches design issues early and delivers faster, more cost-effective results.
How does PT Metals ensure assembly quality?
Quality control is integrated throughout every step. All cut parts are precision laser-cut with ±0.1mm repeatability. Welds are performed by certified MIG/TIG technicians and spot-checked. Hardware insertion is verified for correct depth and positioning. All sub-assemblies are visually inspected before shipment. PT Metals can work to your quality standards including ISO 9001 compliance and custom inspection criteria.
What industries does PT Metals serve?
PT Metals assembles components for building products, agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, HVAC systems, construction equipment, and custom machinery manufacturers. The full-service capability and 40+ years of experience support any industry requiring precision metal assembly. Contact PT Metals to discuss your specific application.
