Hydel is a full-service sheet metal fabrication shop located in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada.
Our 100,000 square foot facility equipped with state-of-the-art equipment allows us to tackle jobs both big and small. We have the equipment and expertise to complete the entire production process in-house, from design to professional grade finishing.
Highest Quality Management Standards
We use precise cutting, welding and assembly techniques to deliver high quality metal fabrications. We can work with you to manufacture components based on your designs, or we can work collaboratively, using our engineers to assist you in your development process. We are ISO 9001:2015 and CWB 47.1 certified, so you can be confident that our work will meet your precise design specifications.
Expertise Across Industries
CNC Punch Press · Laser Cutting · CNC Brake Press Forming · Custom Finishing · Design & Engineering
We offer a wide-range of services for all your sheet metal fabrication needs, including: CNC punch press, laser cutting, CNC brake press forming, finishing, design & engineering. Our fabrication shop is unique because we have the ability to perform precision cutting and custom finishing in-house, which means we can get your job done from start to finish without the need for additional contractors.
CNC Punching
For punching, we use a CNC Punch Press that can work with sheet metal sizes up to 4’x8′ & 5’x10′.
This equipment allows us to quickly punch holes in sheet metal for a variety of applications in the most cost-effective way currently available.
CNC Bending
We use CNC Brake Presses for bending sheet metal pieces up to 10 feet wide. Through the application of pressure reference technology and dynamic crowning we can achieve flawless and consistent bending results, within a tolerance of +/- 0.005″.
Laser Cutting
At Hydel, we use a Fiber Laser for cutting sheets up to 5’x10′. The distinct advantage of using our Fiber Laser is its high precision; it is capable of cutting within a tolerance of +/- 0.003″.
The high peak power and short pulses of fiber laser also allow it to be used not just for cutting, but also for marking and engraving. Furthermore, the high quality of the beam of a fiber laser allows for cleaner, burr-free edges and faster cutting speeds than with other cutting equipment.
Materials
We can work with a range of materials, including:
- steel
- aluminum
- copper
- titanium
- brass
- bar stock
- coated materials
(Special materials are available upon request.)
Custom Finishing
Hydel offers in-house powder coating solutions using Paintline powder coat. Powder coating is applied electrostatically, resulting in a durable finish on many different types of metal. We can meet any color and finish requirements for pieces up to 9’x5′.
ROHS Compliant
Our process complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS), so you can be confident that your project will not contain toxic substances nor resulting toxic e-waste at the end of its useful life.
