MJM Expands to Five Amada Laser Cutting Systems — One of the Largest Laser Fleets in South Florida

MJM Manufacturing is proud to announce that our laser cutting department now operates five Amada laser cutting systems — four fiber lasers and one CO2 laser — making us one of the highest-capacity laser cutting operations in South Florida.

Our fiber laser fleet consists of one Amada Ventis 3015 AJ (4kW with Locus Beam Control technology) and three Amada Ensis 3015 AJ (3kW with variable beam technology). Our CO2 system is the Amada LC 2415 A III, maintained for specific material and application requirements. All five machines run on a 5′ x 10′ cutting table and are supported by three CSD 75T Sigma nitrogen generation systems that supply clean nitrogen assist gas for oxide-free cut edges on stainless steel and aluminum.

The Amada Ensis systems feature variable beam control technology — automatically adjusting beam parameters for optimal cutting performance across thin gauge to thick plate in a single machine setup. The Ventis system features Amada’s patented Locus Beam Control (LBC), which allows the 4kW machine to perform at the level of traditional 6kW fiber laser systems while consuming less energy.

With five laser systems running simultaneously, MJM has the production capacity to support aerospace, defense, robotics, data center, OEM, and architectural customers with short lead times even on high-volume orders. Our laser cutting systems can cut mild steel and hot roll steel up to 1″, aluminum up to 0.625″, stainless steel up to 0.625″, copper up to 0.375″, and brass up to 0.375″.

All laser cutting operations at MJM are performed under our AS9100 certified and ITAR registered quality management system. For a quote on your laser cutting project, contact us at sales@mjmmfg.com or call (305) 620-2020.

MJM Welding Department Now Operates Nine IPG 2kW Fiber Laser Welders

MJM Manufacturing’s welding department has expanded to nine IPG 2kW fiber laser welding systems — one of the largest concentrations of laser welding capacity at any precision sheet metal fabricator in Florida.

IPG fiber laser welders produce high-quality, precision welds with significantly less heat input than traditional TIG or MIG welding. This means less distortion on thin gauge materials, cleaner cosmetic welds, and faster cycle times on production welding applications. For aerospace and electronics assemblies where heat distortion is a critical concern, fiber laser welding delivers results that traditional arc welding processes cannot match.

MJM’s welding department also includes three Sciaky three-phase resistance spot welders (75 KVA, 100 KVA, and 200 KVA) for sheet metal assembly joining, along with certified TIG and MIG welding stations for structural and production fabrication.

All welding operations are performed under our AS9100 certified and ITAR registered quality management system. Contact us at sales@mjmmfg.com to discuss your welding requirements.

Certification · Quality · Defense

MJM Holds AWS D17.1 Aerospace Welding Certification with Lockheed Martin Program Approval

MJM Manufacturing holds AWS D17.1 aerospace fusion welding certification with Lockheed Martin program approval — one of the most demanding welding qualifications in the aerospace manufacturing industry, and a credential that very few sheet metal fabricators in the United States can claim.

AWS D17.1 is the American Welding Society standard specifically written for aerospace fusion welding. It covers the qualification of welding procedures and welders for aerospace structures, components, and assemblies — with significantly more stringent requirements than general structural welding codes. Achieving Lockheed Martin program approval under AWS D17.1 means that MJM’s welding procedures, welder qualifications, and quality documentation have been reviewed and approved by one of the most demanding aerospace prime contractors in the world.

Our welding department is backed by an extensive set of AWS certifications including D1.1 (Steel), D1.2 (Aluminum), D9.1M (Sheet Metal), and D17.1 (Aerospace Fusion Welding). MJM holds Lockheed Martin program approval under AWS D17.1 and Lloyd’s Register welding certification (LR 33932) — two of the most demanding welding qualifications in the aerospace and defense industry.

MJM Manufacturing is also fully registered for government defense contracting. Our CAGE Code is 0YLX1 and we are registered on SAM.gov — the two credentials required for U.S. Department of Defense supplier qualification and prime contractor approved vendor lists. Combined with our ITAR registration, AS9100 certification, and AWS D17.1 aerospace welding approval, MJM meets the compliance requirements of the most demanding defense procurement programs.

In addition to AWS D17.1, MJM holds certifications to AWS D1.1 (Structural Welding — Steel), AWS D1.2 (Structural Welding — Aluminum), and AWS D9.1M (Sheet Metal Welding Code), supported by qualified Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Records (PQR). MJM also holds Lloyd’s Register welding certification (LR 33932) — a globally recognized third-party welding quality approval used in aerospace, marine, and defense programs.

For aerospace and defense customers requiring welding quality documentation, MJM can provide WPS, PQR, welder performance qualification records, weld maps, and in-process inspection documentation as required by your program quality plan. Contact us at sales@mjmmfg.com or call (305) 620-2020.

MJM Adds Amada Fabri-Vision Automated Optical Inspection System

MJM Manufacturing has added the Amada Fabri-Vision automated optical inspection system to our quality control department — significantly expanding our dimensional inspection capability for laser cut and CNC punched parts.

The Fabri-Vision uses 24 cameras to scan parts and compare them against CAD data, delivering full dimensional inspection reports in minutes rather than the hours required for manual measurement. Traditional manual inspection requires a technician to measure individual features one at a time with calipers and gauges. The Fabri-Vision scans the entire part simultaneously — capturing all features, holes, slots, and edges in a single automated pass and flagging any out-of-tolerance conditions immediately.

For our aerospace and defense customers, the Fabri-Vision provides the inspection documentation required for first article inspection (FAI) reports and in-process quality records. Every scanned part generates a printed dimensional report that can be archived as part of the part traveler and quality documentation package.

MJM’s inspection department also includes the Keyence LM-X Series non-contact optical measurement system and the Keyence XM-5000 handheld probe coordinate measuring machine — giving us three independent dimensional inspection systems for complete coverage across all part types and sizes.

This investment in inspection technology reflects MJM’s commitment to zero-defect quality delivery across all programs. Contact us at sales@mjmmfg.com to discuss your inspection and quality documentation requirements.
