SHEET METALWORK
quality and compliance
From the cutting to the final assembling, a custome-made french production.
Located in Capdenac-Gare (France), our factory is specialized in unit and small series production from specifications, drawings or samples. We are able to transform the following materials:
LAVAYSSIERE takes in charge your boiler-making project from A to Z.
LAVAYSSIERE, part of the MAVENTIS group, is your trusted partner for customizing your bodywork. We create unique shapes and sizes, thanks to a variety of manufacturing processes and our highly qualified staff.
What is sheet metalwork?
Boilermaking is a manufacturing process for metal parts. The principle is to shape them from raw material to obtain the desired shapes and dimensions. Thanks to this technique, we can produce high-precision parts. Boilermaking techniques and processes fall into four main categories: cutting, forming, assembly and painting.
Our teams are masters of these different processes and can therefore create industrial cladding in a variety of shapes.
Why entrust us the manufacture of your casing?
Qualified expertise
Thanks to its qualified teams, its technical department (8 persons) with its integrated design office and its specialized journeymen, LAVAYSSIERE is able to manufacture very complicated parts, on small or large formats, painted or untreated.
Rigorous quality control
Quality control then ensures that the work carried out on the parts complies with expectations. This guarantees the quality of each enclosure and casing.
Sector versatility
Our ability to work for a wide range of companies and industries, including aerospace, automotive and electronics, reflects our flexibility and adaptability to a variety of needs.
Laser cutting
LAVAYSSIERE is equipped with a fiber laser cutting machine 2 x 4 m which allows a cut on metal sheet thicknesses from 0.2 to 15 millimeters with a high speed.
Principle: a fiber source produce a laser beam which is forwarded through a fiber optic to the cutting head.
The laser cutting is a manufacture process which consists in cut the material thanks to a high quantity of energy created by a laser and concentrated on a very small area.
The laser enables to vary freely the cutted shape.
It is often possible to engrave text with the same machine. A control software with creation and preview functionalities is then used to format a text or a graphic element.
The forming (folding and rolling)
LAVAYSSIERE has 2 connected LVD folding machines, 4m/170T and 3m/135T, and 1 3m rolling machine. These machines are dedicated to shaping sheet metal of various grades.
The principle of bending: Bending is a high-energy process. It stresses the metal for a fraction of a second to give it the desired shape, without breaking the metal fibres. It has the advantage of improving the ductility and fracture resistance of metals, and can be applied to large parts.
The principle of rolling: This is a technique for shaping metals, whether stainless steel or aluminium. Under the effect of plastic deformation, it is thus possible to obtain rounded shapes. As a result, rolling can be used to produce a range of metal parts for personalized, made-to-measure housings.
This industrial process guarantees the respect of the standards in force, but also the solidity, the resistance and the reliability of these metal achievements.
Assembly
In our workshops, LAVAYSSIERE’s teams rigorously build the previously manufactured elements. The metal parts are assembled according to strict TIG or MIG welding procedures, either on the basis of a drawing or after prior scouting. These ensure that the fairing or other equipment meets your specifications.
Principle of welding: MIG welding, like TIG welding, is an electric arc welding process. This involves raising the temperature of the two steel parts to be welded to their melting point, using an electric arc that is created by an electrode and a gas supply. Electricity flows through the metals, causing warming up and create a fusion bath.
The assembly is protected against oxidation during welding and you add a filler metal with a rod, in order to strengthen it (not mandatory for TIG welding).
The TIG welding is applied to all types of metals, including aluminum and steel. You are guaranteed to get a strong finish that is more resistant to corrosion. You are guaranteed to obtain a robust and more corrosion-resistant finish.
PAINTING
LAVAYSSIERE is equipped with a large format powder coating cabin, which allows to paint small parts as well as large ones (up to 6 meters). We can customize your enclosure according to the colors chosen from the RAL color chart.
LAVAYSSIERE also has a liquid paint booth for parts up to 6 meters. We also offer colors based on RAL. Then, the paintings are steamed.
