PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Bay Machine and Fabrication was tasked with manufacturing complete steel weldments with side mounting brackets 20’ long by 4’ wide, A36 steel cut, fit and welded complete per customer drawings. The bridge plotter went from the fabrication shop to the machine shop there to be machined for flatness over the 20’ long weldment tolerance to be held within .015 over the 20’ long span. Approximately 500 holes were drilled and tapped and all other machining finished. At this point the bridge plotter went from the machine shop to the paint shop where it was inspected, blasted and primer before applying a finished coat of international paint. Allowing dry period then carefully loaded on transport to be delivered to customer.
