Custom Fabricating & Supplies

Ugly Sweater Day at the office! Even the Grinch showed up to work!

Our new and improved website is live!

The website got a face lift this past week and the results are great!

Our goal was to create an easier layout and way for our current and future customers to best navigate and find exactly what they need; whether it's our standard tapes, caps, plugs or hooks that are in stock and ready to ship same or next day, or our custom options for precision die cutting, rubber molding or gasket manufacturing.

Along with added features and ease of use for quoting and requests, our website is here to best serve our customers now more than ever.

Laser Die Cutting Services from CFS

CFS uses a Delta ModTech with Edge technology when providing laser die cut services. Finished product can be supplied as individual pieces or on rolls.

As a standalone service, the laser can create nearly perfect parts. Additionally, this machine is equipped with advanced optical registration and vision inspection reporting. We can provide a data file detailing the critical dimensions of every part we supply.

The Siat narrow web rewind slitter is a specialty machine with a very unique use. Certain tapes, like 3M 468MP (a transfer tape), are notoriously difficult to slit using standard single-knife operations.

The Siat can unwind the master roll, slit with razors and precisely rewind onto new cores.
Take a look at 3M468MP here: www.customfabricate.com/3m-468mp-adhesive-transfer-tape.html

Proud to Offer Stateside Silicone Molding Services

“The past 3 years have highlighted many challenges in the supply chain. The number of requests for in-house custom silicone molding has skyrocketed. We listened”

The addition of the 72” Elite Cameron rewind slitter has already proven to be a game changer for our customers.

We now have the ability to convert master logs of tape into “mults” that have been laminated in-line, at speeds up to 1,000 ft/min.

www.customfabricate.com/converting-services

CFS is always exploring and investing in advanced technologies.

The expansion provided us the space to bring on the long-awaited new flagship of our converting operations – a Delta ModTech high speed rotary press equipped with a Flex Edge® laser and MOD-Track® vision inspection system.

With this system we can hold tolerances that are generally unheard of in the die cutting industry.

Happy National Donut Day!

I can't think of a better donut than ones made right here at CFS! But I wouldn't recommend eating these..

Their "ingredients" consist of commercial grade polyester film single coated with a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive.

It is the industry standard for the general masking needs of powder coating and e-coating. Our most economical tape masking option, used for large taping areas and high-volume masking needs.

CFS will be closed in observance of Memorial Day.

"These powerful Memorial Day quotes by some of the world’s most influential leaders help us remember those who gave all throughout our history."

Remember the Real Meaning of Memorial Day With These Powerful Quotes Because some gave all.

The eagerly awaited automated Preco flatbed hydraulic press arrived to a waiting list of work. This adds high speed capacity for parts that are too large to run on a rotary press or higher volumes..

The Preco’s output is up to 10x faster than these other methods while holding similar or better tolerances.

2022 Brought Big Changes to CFS Through Expansion

After experiencing tremendous growth in 2021 we were bursting at the seams. Navigating supply chain delays and shortages throughout the ‘22 expansion, the final machine arrived just in time for Christmas.

When the dust settled we gained 32,000 square feet in our Franklin, WI location, new and renovated office space, and 6 new production machines and an expanded Houston location which tripled the size of that facility.

New product alert!

Until now there was not an elegant solution for securing parts on paint line hooks without affecting coverage and grounding. CFS created the answer with the patent pending Hook Lock. Designed to fit over the end of the hook, it prevents part loss. This is also a very important safety feature, preventing parts from falling off automated overhead paint lines onto unsuspecting employees below.

Made from high temperature silicone, they can be re-used many times. Currently stocked for round wire diameters 0f 0.062” - 0.180”, other sizes are available on request. Color coded for easy identification, they are available for round and square hook profiles. These hook locks are suitable for use on most paint hooks types including standard S, C and V, jam hooks, spring hooks, snap hooks, crossbar hooks or any other hanging hook systems where part loss is a concern. These are made in the USA at CFS headquarters in Franklin, WI! Order online
