Why is the Sheet Metal Machining So Widely Used?

Create Time: 20-12-2017

The sheet metal machining is a relatively common technical operation now. The reason why sheet metal machining has become so common is that it is simple and convenient compared to other processing technologies, and it can help enterprises improve economic benefits. The production process will directly affect the cost of producing parts. The parts to be used are usually in small batches. If there is no specific follow-up indication about processing volume, sheet metal machining is usually used to complete. If there are batches of sheet metal parts, sheet metal machining is not as good as stamping. Why is sheet metal machining so widely used? What advantages does it have?


1. About the sheet metal machining


The processing of sheet metal is called sheet metal machining. Specifically, for example, using sheet metals to make chimneys, iron drums, fuel tanks and oil cans, ventilation pipes, bends, transition pipes, fitting between square and circle ducts, funnel-shaped products, etc. The main processes include shearing, bending buckles, brake forming, welding, riveting, etc. Some knowledge of geometry is needed. Sheet metal parts are actually thin-plate hardware parts, that is, parts that can be processed by means of stamping, bending, stretching, etc. A general definition is a part with a constant thickness during processing. Corresponding to it is casting parts, forging parts, machining parts and so on.


2. Why is the sheet metal machining widely used?


First understand the content of the sheet metal machining process. The sheet metal machining process includes cutting, deburring, bending, secondary processing, spraying and other processing technologies. Among these processes, deburring is done manually, and the rest is done by the machine. Many manufacturers of precision sheet metal machining believe that these processes of sheet metal machining can be mechanized and automated through positioning fixtures, thereby greatly improving the processing efficiency and production quality of parts. Cutting equipment is an obvious example.


(1) The stamping operation is simple and convenient, and sheet metal machining has advantages in terms of workpieces with complex shapes, but the thickness should be within the range that can be processed. After the program is programmed, the circuit board can be processed automatically. In addition to the need to invest a certain cost in the early stage, the low input cost in the later stage can help enterprises improve economic efficiency.


(2) The quality of the finished product. The quality of the stamping parts for sheet metal machining is very good. The stamping parts have high precision and flatness, and all the products are consistent.


(3) The CNC punching machine has high production efficiency. It enables mass production of parts and ensures high speed. The sheet metal machining is not only fast and can ensure high quality, but also has a variety of processing methods, such as single punch, continuous punch and array punch.
