What is the Sheet Metal Processing Equipment in Life? What is the Difference Between It and Hardware Processing?

1. About the sheet metal processing

Sheet metal parts are the products processed by the sheet metal technology, and we are inseparable from sheet metal parts everywhere in our lives. Sheet metal parts are made by processes including filament power winding, laser cutting, heavy duty machining, metal bonding, metal drawing, plasma cutting, precision welding, roll forming, sheet metal bending, die forging, water jet cutting. Sheet metal processing is a comprehensive cold working technology for sheet metal, including shearing, punching/cutting/compounding, folding, welding, riveting, splicing, forming (such as automobile body), etc. The remarkable feature of sheet metal parts is that the thickness of the same part is the same.

2. Which equipment in our daily life is produced by sheet metal processing?

So what equipment in our daily life is produced by sheet metal processing? For example: sheet metal processing of air conditioner outer casing, sheet metal processing of metal trash can, bending processing of sheet metal parts of automobile casing, metal processing of electric control cabinet and gate control cabinet, sheet metal processing of self-service machine casing, sheet metal processing of outdoor electric box, sheet metal processing of mechanical equipment shell, processing of environmental protection equipment shell, sheet metal processing of office supplies and metal locker and so on.

3. What is the difference between sheet metal processing and hardware processing?

Metal is ubiquitous in life. For example, common tools, fixtures, general hardware accessories, bearings, locks, molds, mechanical equipment, fasteners, screwdrivers, plumbing hardware, etc. are called metal products. Metal manufacturing is a process technology that processes metal materials (gold, silver, copper, iron, tin) into objects, parts, and components, including large parts such as bridges and ships. It is used in different fields such as science, industry, art, crafts, etc.

Sheet metal processing is for thin metal sheets, that is, parts that can be processed by stamping, bending, stretching, etc. A general definition is a part with a constant thickness during processing. The general technology of sheet metal processing includes stamping, punching, folding, welding, splicing and forming (such as automobile body), etc. Among them, the sheet metal processing technology should be matched with related equipment such as bending machines, welding processing, and grinding processes, so as to enable sheet metal processing to complete customer requirements through separation process and forming process.
