Steel Fabrication Equipment

Our "Burny 10" Torch Burning machine can burn any carbon steel up to 8" in thickness. We have the capability of burning virtually any size material. Our computerized Torch Burning system has 50 pre-programmed shapes, only requiring your job's dimensions before completing. With our burning machine's four torch-cutting heads, we can cut multiple pieces at the same time. Our software can interface with your computerized drawings to cut any custom shape we don't have programmed.

Our Plasma technology allows for efficient cutting of stainless steel and aluminum material. Our system employs a process using electricity with various gas combinations creating an arc capable of separating metal of varying sizes into specific shapes. Our Plasma Cutter can cut up to 2" in thickness and generally hold dimensions within .030. As a result, Plasma cutting delivers clean, smooth and precise cuts that are slag free to reduce secondary finishing.

Our fabrication services include forming components per specification, serving a wide range of industries with stringent press brake requirements. Forming services are one of our core competencies at Northern Illinois Steel. Our technicians have expertise forming parts of any shape in varying thicknesses and materials for both industrial and precision clients. We can form 28 gauge to 1" plate in all different grades of steel. Our brakes have 600 tons of press capacity and can form lengths up to 16 feet.

Northern Illinois Steel Supply Co. produces high quality sheared parts using precision machinery. We can shear 28 gauge to 1", up to lengths of 16 feet. Shearing is a cost-effective solution for parts requiring a straight edge cut up to .030 inch tolerance. We can assist you in finding a solution for your parts that match your quality standards and cost requirements.

Our state-of-the-art, computerized Do-All, and HE&M saws can cut through any steel bars, tubing, and other metal products up to an 8" thickness to a maximum length of 60 feet. Our saws can easily cut different metals with adjustable cutting pressures and feed rates. The heavy-duty feed system ensures an accurate feed length that consistently holds the tightest of tolerances.

Our heavy-duty rebar bender can bend rebar up to #11 (1 3/8”) grade 60. The machine can be set to accurately bend any angle from 0-180 degrees.

Our plate roller can fabricate cylinders, cones and custom buckets 1" in thickness and up to 20 feet in length. Our roller can bend any shape in a variety of materials.

Our punch presses can cut through any steel and create round holes, slotted holes or square openings up to 1 1/8" diameter up to 1" plate thickness. For hole punching, this process is more efficient than traditional drilling, and also more cost effective.
