Robotic Welding
GLC Industries has successfully incorporated robotic welding into many of our processes. Our manufacturing capabilities include a OTC 2 station, 7 axis digitally controlled Metal Inert Gas (MIG) weld robotic cell. This weld cell gives GLC the ability to manufacture a wide range of components in medium to high volumes, while repeating close tolerances part after part. Our versatility and quality precision allow us to consistently exceed customer expectations.
Welding
GLC provides GMAW (MIG Welding), GTAW (TIG Welding), and FCAW (Arc Welding) processes in low to medium volumes with capabilities in ferrous and non-ferrous material up to 1″ meeting AWS standards. These processes are achieved in an environmentally controlled booth.
Light Assembly
In today’s manufacturing environment, our customers are continually seeking to reduce their costs. To respond to this challenge, GLC Industries offers not only fabricated components, but the service of assembly as well to add value to your bottom line. As your one-stop- shop, GLC will manufacture, procure, and/or assemble all components needed, simply providing you with the finished product you need.

Featured Successes
GLC Industries Keeps the USAF Premier
After 40 years of service, many of the original specifications and drawings for the A-10 were either obsolete, or missing. On top of that, most of the supply chain was no longer available. To ensure its ability to sustain the aircraft, the USAF had to find and qualify new sources for specialized maintenance equipment and tooling.
GLC’s engineering and manufacturing teams reviewed available drawings and specifications and determined that with the use of new technology and modern materials the tooling could be reproduced faster, and at or below previous costs to the USAF. To date, GLC has either reproduced, re-engineered, or reverse engineered numerous items in support of the A-10 Thunderbolt.
GLC Industries Delivers Critical Look
Following the revision of the federal specification for Electromechanical Combination Locks (FF-L-2470), GLC’s Customer initiated design changes for its X-series High Security Lock to ensure compliance with the Government’s highest security standard. The Customer awarded GLC a contract to manufacture components for the prototype high security combination lock. Following a number of design changes and component revisions, the Government tested and approved the security lock under federal specification FF-L-2740.
GLC worked closely with buyers and engineers to design and fabricate the high precision machined components required to meet the exacting Government specifications and testing. GLC’s on-time delivery, quality processes, and responsiveness to the Customer’s need were key to the success of this project and ultimately the award of a Government contract to our Customer.
