Precision Sheet Metal Machining is a Comprehensive Processing Technology

Precision sheet metal machining is a comprehensive processing technology used for sheet metal (generally no more than 6mm), which includes cutting, stamping, laminating, folding, welding, hammering nails, splicing, and casting (eg. The body of vehicles). Its striking feature is the uniform thickness.

1. Modern technology of precision sheet metal machining

The modern technologies of precision sheet metal machining include filament power winding, laser cutting, reprocess, metal connection, metal drawing, plasma cutting, precision welding, rolling, bending of sheet metal, die forging, water jet cutting, precision welding, and so on.

Lightweight, high strength, electrical conductivity (be able to be used for electromagnetic shielding), low cost, high production performance, and so on. Sheet metal is widely used for the fields of electronics, telecommunications, vehicles, and medical equipment, and it's necessary for computer cases, mobile phones, MP3, metal plates, and so on.

With the use of sheet metal, more precise sheet metal design has become a very important part of the product development process. The mechanical engineer must be proficient in sheet metal design, so the exterior design of sheet metal can meet the features of products, but it makes stamping die easier and cost of manufacture less.

2. The new sheet metal machining process includes the following steps: design, laser cutting, bending, and welding/rivets.

Because of laser cutting's high flexibility and high precision as well as 3D design technology's maturity and popularity, users can get benefits from new designs and new processes, which can reduce costs and shorten the construction period.

Traditional sheet metal box processing technology provides a special fixture for welding. Currently, the technology that is similar to carpentry tenon craft is used among different parts, and it positions well and saves costs. The fixture for welding is simple, and the products are deformed slightly. Because of the development trend of automation and intelligence of the technology of precision sheet metal components, the management of processors of precision sheet metal must be changed, and it's inevitable to build an information management system.

In an information management system, the flow management system, production management system, process technology system, quality management system, automatic quotation system, cost management system, and security system operate and control according to pre-planned requirements, which can shorten the period, save the costs, and improve the quality. Precision sheet metal machining has become a part of our life.
