Precision Sheet Metal Component Assembly in Melbourne

KNS Metals / Services / Precision Sheet Metal Component Assembly in Melbourne

To produce a finished sheet metal product, assembly may be required, utilising inserts, fasteners, studs, and self-clinch nuts. Once all of the individual sheet metal parts and components have been prepared and cut, we can take care of all your needs.

At KNS Metals, we specialise in high-quality sheet metal component assembly, offering fast, reliable, and precise solutions for manufacturers across Melbourne. Whether you’re building electrical enclosures, HVAC systems, or custom machinery, we ensure each part is assembled with accuracy and built to last.

From press-in fasteners to complex multi-part assemblies, we help bring your designs to life with a level of detail that sets your final product apart.

Complete Sheet Metal Assembly Services

You should never compromise when it comes to metal fabrication, as a poorly completed job not only looks bad but jeopardises the longevity, durability and functionality of the product. Our highly qualified and experienced team use Haeger Fastener insert equipment, which has a strong reputation worldwide for providing accurate manufacturing finishes.

Our metal assembly services are tailored to manufacturers who require consistent, high-precision outcomes. Whether you need basic component fastening or full multi-part assemblies, we handle everything in-house, ensuring speed, accuracy, and quality control at every step.

We work with:

  • Pre-cut and pre-folded components
  • Custom hardware installation
  • Complex part alignment
  • Integrated mechanical fasteners
  • Batch or single-run assembly projects

Our team operates from our Dandenong-based facility, providing Melbourne manufacturers with direct access to experienced assembly specialists and the necessary tools for a flawless finish. Regardless of the type of assembly you’re seeking, we possess the technology and expertise to deliver the finest possible outcome.

Component Assembly Methods We Use

Each custom metal component assembly project is different — which is why we tailor our methods to suit the part, purpose, and end-use requirements.

Mechanical Fastening for Flexible Assembly

Mechanical fastening is a reliable and versatile assembly method that utilises hardware, such as studs, standoffs, rivet nuts, and self-clinching fasteners, to join sheet metal components. This technique is ideal for products that may require disassembly, servicing, or future upgrades, such as electrical panels, enclosures, and modular systems.

Common applications include:

  • Self-clinching nuts and studs
  • Standoffs and threaded inserts
  • Press-fit hardware
  • Rivet installation

At KNS Metals, we use advanced Haeger fastener assembly machines to install these components with high precision and repeatability. It’s a non-permanent solution that offers long-term durability without compromising accessibility.

Brazing and Soldering for Delicate Connections

When working with intricate assemblies — especially in electronics, HVAC, or plumbing systems — brazing and soldering provide a clean, controlled method of joining components. These processes use filler metals to bond parts together at lower temperatures than welding, making them ideal for thin materials or parts that can’t tolerate intense heat.

These methods are commonly used in low-vibration applications where appearance and leak-free joints are priorities. Our team handles each job with care, ensuring strength and precision without damaging delicate components.

Welding for Permanent Structural Strength

When strength and rigidity are non-negotiable, welding remains the gold standard for permanently assembling sheet metal. We offer a full range of welding services in the context of assembly, including spot welding for clean, semi-permanent joints that don’t compromise the sheet’s appearance.

Whether you’re assembling large structural panels or complex folded parts, our skilled fabricators ensure strong, clean welds with the right technique for the job. While welding is often used in general fabrication, it also plays a critical role in securing multi-part assemblies that must withstand high loads or repeated use.

Riveting for Efficient, Cost-Effective Joins

Rivets offer an excellent balance of strength, speed, and affordability, making them a go-to solution for many high-volume or large-scale assembly projects. While not as permanent as welding, rivets are strong enough for most structural applications and can be installed quickly with minimal heat or distortion.

For sheet metal component assembly, riveting is ideal in applications like transport equipment, construction elements, or metal frames where uniform joints are needed at scale. We ensure consistent placement and alignment for optimal performance and visual uniformity.

Spot Welding (Assembly-Only Use)

We also offer spot welding for sheet metal component assembly, where a semi-permanent join is required. This process enables strength without the bulk associated with traditional welding, making it well-suited for joining thinner sheet metal layers in enclosures and panels.

Note: General welding services are available separately — this page covers welding within the assembly only.

Equipment We Use for Custom Metal Component Assembly

To maintain consistent outcomes and reduce human error, we rely on industry-trusted equipment designed specifically for sheet metal joining and hardware insertion.

Our assembly line includes:

  • Haeger Fastener Insertion Machines: These allow for automated, accurate placement of hardware across hundreds of parts in a single batch, improving speed and reliability.
  • Precision jigs and templates: To ensure exact alignment for repetitive part assembly
  • Spot welding stations for specific jobs that require fixed joint integration

With the right tools and training, our team can handle everything from small production runs to high-volume assemblies without sacrificing quality.

Industries Utilising Our Metal Assembly Services

We support a broad range of industries that require Melbourne sheet metal assembly services, including:

  • HVAC: Assembly of metal ductwork, housing frames, and filter brackets
  • Electrical & Data: Fastening and enclosure assembly for switchboards and control panels
  • Construction: Custom hardware assembly for building components and balustrades
  • Transport & Automotive: Assembly of metal parts for trailers, lockers, and structural brackets
  • Furniture: Component assembly for metal frames, table structures, and seating systems

Each industry has different tolerance and strength requirements — we adapt our tools and techniques accordingly.

FAQs on Sheet Metal Component Assembly

What is sheet metal component assembly?

Sheet metal component assembly is the process of joining pre-cut and shaped metal parts using mechanical fasteners, spot welding, or press-fit inserts to create a finished product ready for use in manufacturing, construction, or industrial applications.

What types of fasteners do you use for assembly?

We use a wide range of fasteners, including self-clinching nuts, studs, standoffs, and rivets — all applied using precision Haeger fastener assembly machines to ensure reliable, repeatable hardware installation across your custom metal component assembly project.

Do you provide mechanical fastener installation as a standalone service?

Yes — our mechanical fastener installation services are available as part of full metal assembly services or as a standalone offering for clients who already have their parts fabricated and need expert assembly in Melbourne.

What industries benefit from your sheet metal assembly services?

We offer sheet metal assembly services in Melbourne for diverse industries, including HVAC, electrical, data, transportation, construction, and custom furniture, catering to both low-volume prototyping and high-volume production.

Can you assist with assembling sheet metal parts that were manufactured elsewhere?

Absolutely — if you’ve had components cut or folded elsewhere, we can still assist with assembling sheet metal parts, including alignment, fastening, and hardware installation, to complete your production workflow.
