Some industrial projects start with a damaged component.

Others start with a drawing, a piece of raw steel, or a problem that does not have an off-the-shelf solution.

Electric Machine & Fab combines heavy industrial fabrication, welding, CNC machining, industrial machining, large-format plate cutting, engineering, and custom parts manufacturing to build components and assemblies for demanding industrial applications.

From one-off replacement parts to substantial fabricated-and-machined assemblies, EMF can take a project from concept or existing component through multiple manufacturing processes.

With facilities in Williamson, West Virginia, and Sidney, Kentucky, we provide the capabilities to cut it, fabricate it, weld it, machine it, assemble it, and get it ready for work.

Custom Industrial Fabrication Projects

Heavy industrial fabrication is rarely about making something decorative.

These components have a job to do.

They carry loads.

Support machinery.

Take impact.

Move material.

Hold equipment together.

And survive environments that punish ordinary steelwork.

EMF can support custom fabrication projects involving:

• Heavy steel components
• Structural equipment assemblies
• Equipment frames
• Mounting structures
• Equipment bases
• Repair sections
• Heavy brackets
• Reinforcement components
• Wear components
• Mining equipment parts
• Heavy equipment components
• Custom industrial assemblies

Projects can be built from supplied drawings, available specifications, existing components, or information developed through EMF's engineering and reverse-engineering process.

Industrial Machining Projects

Fabrication creates the structure.

Machining creates the precision.

EMF provides industrial and CNC machining for projects requiring accurate mechanical features, repair surfaces, fits, bores, shafts, and custom components.

Machining projects can involve:

• Shafts
• Pins
• Bushings
• Sleeves
• Hubs
• Bores
• Journals
• Bearing fits
• Mechanical interfaces
• Mounting features
• Custom machine parts
• Replacement components
• Heavy equipment parts
• Fabricated assemblies requiring finish machining

Some projects are machining jobs from beginning to end.

Others require machining as one stage in a much larger fabrication or rebuild project.

Fabricated-and-Machined Components

One of EMF's strongest capabilities is the ability to combine fabrication and machining.

Many industrial components require both.

A substantial steel assembly may first need to be:

Cut → Fit → Welded → Fabricated

Then critical areas may require:

Boring → Machining → Surface Restoration → Final Fit

That allows EMF to manufacture components with both heavy structural strength and accurate mechanical interfaces.

Projects may include:

• Equipment frames
• Heavy mounting assemblies
• Structural components with machined bores
• Custom equipment components
• Fabricated housings
• Mechanical support assemblies
• Replacement equipment sections
• Heavy-duty brackets
• Custom industrial fixtures
• Repair assemblies

Instead of sending a fabricated component to another company for machining, EMF can often keep more of the process within one organization.

From Raw Plate to Finished Component

Some projects begin with nothing more than steel plate and a drawing.

EMF can move that material through a complete manufacturing process.

A typical project might look like:

Engineering / Drawing → CNC Plate Cutting → Fabrication → Welding → Machining → Assembly → Finishing

This integrated approach is particularly valuable for large industrial components where several manufacturing processes must work together.

One shop cuts it.

Another shop welds it.

Another shop machines it.

That can work.

But when those capabilities can be coordinated through one company, the project becomes much easier to manage.

Large-Format CNC Plate Cutting Projects

At our Sidney, Kentucky facility, EMF operates a large-format Messer CNC cutting system featuring a:

10-Foot × 30-Foot Cutting Table

For appropriate materials and applications, the system can process heavy plate in the 8- to 10-inch thickness range.

This allows EMF to create substantial blanks and components for:

• Heavy fabrication projects
• Equipment bases
• Mining equipment
• Heavy equipment components
• Structural assemblies
• Wear plates
• Mounting plates
• Replacement sections
• Repair components
• Custom industrial parts

Once the material is cut, EMF can continue into fabrication, welding, machining, and assembly.

Heavy Steel Fabrication

When the component is substantial, the fabrication process has to be built around substantial material.

EMF's heavy fabrication capabilities can support projects requiring:

• Thick steel plate
• Large structural components
• Heavy weldments
• Reinforced assemblies
• Custom steel sections
• Equipment support structures
• Repair sections
• Machine components
• Wear-intensive components

Our Sidney facility is particularly well suited for heavy fabrication work requiring significant shop space, heavy plate processing, welding, and machining.

Industrial Welding Projects

Industrial welding is often the connection between individual fabricated components and a finished assembly.

EMF can support welding projects involving:

• Heavy plate
• Structural steel components
• Mining equipment
• Heavy equipment
• Equipment frames
• Custom fabrications
• Replacement sections
• Reinforcement
• Repair assemblies
• Fabricated machine components

For complex projects, welding can be integrated with cutting, machining, component manufacturing, and finishing.

That matters when the final product has to be more than welded together.

It has to function correctly when it goes back into service.

Custom Machined Replacement Parts

Sometimes the project is much smaller than the machine it keeps running.

A shaft.

A pin.

A bushing.

A hub.

A sleeve.

One custom component can be the difference between a machine operating and a machine sitting idle.

EMF can manufacture custom machined replacement parts for industrial equipment when standard components are unavailable, damaged beyond repair, or difficult to source.

Projects can begin from:

• Drawings
• Specifications
• Existing components
• Worn samples
• Measurements
• Equipment information

Obsolete Parts & Reverse Engineering

Some of the most interesting machining projects begin with a part that officially no longer exists.

The OEM stopped making it.

The drawing disappeared.

The equipment has been modified.

Or the only reference remaining is the worn component itself.

EMF can use engineering, analysis, and reverse engineering to help determine the dimensions and manufacturing requirements needed to reproduce or modify an industrial component.

That information can then move directly into machining or fabrication.

Existing Component → Evaluation → Manufacturing Plan → New Component

Mining Fabrication & Machining Projects

Mining equipment frequently requires both heavy fabrication and precision machining.

A damaged mining component may need:

• Worn steel removed
• Replacement plate fabricated
• Structural areas rebuilt
• Heavy welding
• Bores restored
• Pins or shafts manufactured
• Wear components replaced
• Mechanical interfaces machined

That combination of operations makes mining work a natural fit for EMF.

Our capabilities can support projects involving:

• Longwall mining components
• Buckets and scoops
• Equipment frames
• Structural assemblies
• Wear components
• Mechanical components
• Replacement parts
• Custom fabricated sections

Heavy Equipment Components

Construction and earthmoving equipment can require many of the same fabrication and machining processes.

EMF can support custom projects involving:

• Buckets
• Scoops
• Mounting assemblies
• Structural components
• Pins
• Bushings
• Bores
• Shafts
• Equipment frames
• Wear sections
• Custom replacement components

When a major component requires both structural rebuilding and precision machining, EMF can address both sides of the project.

Equipment Bases & Mounting Assemblies

Industrial equipment often depends on substantial bases, mounting structures, and support components.

When an original assembly becomes damaged or a new configuration is required, EMF can support custom fabrication and machining projects involving:

• Equipment bases
• Mounting plates
• Heavy brackets
• Support assemblies
• Adapter components
• Structural frames
• Reinforced mounting structures

Machined features can be incorporated where accurate positioning or mechanical interfaces are required.

Repair Components & Replacement Sections

Not every fabrication project involves manufacturing an entirely new assembly.

Sometimes the job is manufacturing the piece required to repair the old one.

EMF can create replacement sections for industrial equipment where damaged or worn material needs to be removed.

Projects can involve:

• Structural replacement pieces
• Equipment frame sections
• Wear plates
• Heavy reinforcement components
• Mounting sections
• Custom repair pieces
• Fabricated inserts

Using large-format plate cutting, welding, and machining together allows EMF to create repair components specifically for the equipment being rebuilt.

One-Off Components & Specialty Projects

Heavy industry has plenty of components that are never going to be ordered by the thousand.

Sometimes you need one.

One part for a machine built 30 years ago.

One custom component for an equipment modification.

One repair section nobody stocks.

One unusual bracket.

One replacement assembly that has to match existing equipment.

EMF is well suited for these kinds of custom industrial projects.

You do not need a production run to have a manufacturing problem worth solving.

Equipment Modifications & Retrofit Components

Fabrication and machining are also critical to equipment retrofit projects.

A modern component may not fit an older machine.

A mounting structure may need to change.

A shaft interface may require modification.

A custom adapter may need to be manufactured.

EMF can produce:

• Custom adapters
• Mounting components
• Replacement brackets
• Modified shafts
• Fabricated supports
• Interface components
• Structural modifications
• Replacement equipment sections

These capabilities help extend the useful life of equipment when the original configuration no longer fits the components available today.

When Fabrication Meets Machining

One of the biggest mistakes in industrial manufacturing is treating fabrication and machining as completely separate worlds.

They are not.

A fabricated assembly may need to hold an exact bore location.

A mounting component may require precise machined surfaces.

A welded repair may need final machining before the component can function again.

A heavy steel structure can still depend on thousandths of an inch at the mechanical interface.

That is why EMF's ability to combine heavy fabrication with industrial machining is such an important part of our project capabilities.

Built for Industrial Scale
