Modeled outcome31% faster assembly
Interface control removed field alignment work.
The manufacturing problem
Preserve pump, conveyor, and guard interfaces through welding, blending, and passivation.
The ForgeLine response
Machine fixture datums into replaceable locators, balance the weld sequence around the frame, inspect interfaces before finish, and protect sealing surfaces through passivation.

How the work moves.
- 01Laser + tube preparation
Create joint consistency before material enters the fixture.
- 02Fixture and tack
Lock functional interfaces before full heat input.
- 03Balanced TIG sequence
Distribute distortion around the assembly.
- 04Blend, passivate, release
Verify interface positions and sanitary finish.
