KL Engineering offers advanced, customized machining and manufacturing solutions streamlining your process and accelerating time-to-market, helping turn your vision into reality with precision and efficiency.
The importance of delivering high-quality parts quickly and reliably cannot be overstated. We proudly serve customers across a wide range of industries, combining our expertise with a customer-first approach to provide innovative, customized solutions. Whether you are looking for a one-off prototype or complex systems integration, our collaborative process ensures that each client receives personalized attention and tailored solutions designed to meet their unique requirements.
Finding a shop that excels in both advanced machining and welding is rare. Most machine shops struggle with welding, and most welding shops lack precision machining capabilities. KL is different. With a background in precision fabrication and equipment integration, we bring expertise in both disciplines and other fabrication methods to streamline your production process.
Unlike large-volume shops that prioritize high-quantity runs, KL is built for flexibility. We specialize in low-to-mid-volume production, adapting seamlessly to projects ranging from 10 parts and up. Our process planning is designed to efficiently integrate machining, fabrication, and welding, ensuring a smooth workflow from start to finish.
Many shops focus solely on machine uptime, but we prioritize overall shop throughput to meet customer demands efficiently. With robotic automation in place, we quickly adapt to different production scenarios, optimizing every step for maximum efficiency and precision. At KL, you get the perfect balance of craftsmanship, flexibility, and cutting-edge automation—tailored to your needs.
Our 12,000-square-foot fabrication facility is fully equipped to handle projects of any size and scope. From small brackets to large structural frames weighing several thousand pounds, we have the tools, equipment, and expertise to tackle even the most demanding fabrication challenges.
Small-Scale Components: Perfect for precision applications and intricate designs. Highly-skilled TIG welders enable us to process small components – often with material thickness <0.02”.
Large-Scale Fabrications: Capable of handling heavy-duty structural frames and assemblies. We have fabricated structures exceeding 40-ft. in length. We routinely fabricate components & structures occupying up to about an 8-ft. cube.
Extensive Modular Fixturing Capabilities: KLE’s modular fixturing approach allows us to deliver precision-welded components quickly and cost-effectively, eliminating the large upfront tooling expenses and long lead times associated with complex, part-specific fixtures. This flexibility also makes our processes highly adaptable to design changes throughout your product lifecycle. With expertise in advanced manufacturing technologies—such as 5-axis machining, mill-turn, and waterjet cutting—we provide significant advantages to our customers. We manufacture custom tooling, fixturing, and inspection gauges, ensuring precision at every stage. Our multi-axis machining capabilities enable highly efficient, tight-tolerance pre-weld preparation and, when required, seamless post-weld machining—reducing setups, minimizing part handling, and maximizing accuracy.
Everything In Between: Flexible capabilities for mid-sized projects or custom parts.
By partnering with KL Engineering for your welding and fabrication needs, you gain access to:
Expertise in materials and processes: Ensuring every weld and assembly meets exact specifications.
Expertise in Weld-Process Planning: Deep knowledge of material & geometry-specific weld process planning – from proper design of weld-joints, to identification & design of fixturing, to determination of weld sequencing, to anticipating & mitigating weld deformation effects, to determination of achievable component tolerances post-weld and identification of features requiring post-weld machining.
Quality assurance: Advanced leak detection and certifications to ensure reliability and performance. Large Volume + High Precision CMM inspection of welded & fabricated components.
Capacity for all project sizes: From small, intricate parts to massive structures, we deliver the same level of precision and quality.
Tailored solutions: Custom fabrication services designed to meet your unique needs and challenges.
