What makes up one-third of the metalworking industry? Do you know? It is this sheet metal processing, which is widely used and has appeared in all walks of life.
The cutting process of sheet metal includes: laser cutting, plasma cutting, flame cutting, shearing machine, stamping… etc. From a certain level, laser cutting machine has brought a major technological revolution to sheet metal processing. Compared with the traditional cutting method, the laser cutting machine is easier to operate and easier for workers to use. Moreover, its processing precision is high, and it can perfectly meet the needs of customers. The processing efficiency is also leveraged.
traditional sheet metal process
The traditional sheet metal process adopts: shearing-stamping-bending-welding process or flame plasma cutting-bending-welding process. The current orders are generally of varieties. The traditional sheet metal processing technology obviously cannot adapt to such a rhythm. The laser cutting process appears as an alternative process of “shearing-stamping”. It has the characteristics of flexibility and high flexibility, so it is often used in special-shaped or complex shapes. Your order is in progress.
Application advantages of laser cutting technology in sheet metal processing
1. In sheet metal processing, the application of metal laser cutting machines reduces the process and construction period, improves work efficiency, realizes the double optimization and reduction of labor intensity and processing costs of workers, promotes the optimization of the working environment, and greatly improves the research and development Speed and progress, reducing mold investment and cost;
2. The laser can be focused into a very small spot, which can be used for fine and precise processing, such as micro slits, micro holes, etc. Second, lasers can cut almost all metal materials. Laser processing does not require a tool, is non-contact processing, and has no mechanical deformation.
3. In the growing market environment, the speed of product development means the market. The application of metal laser cutting machine can reduce the use of molds, save the development cycle of new products, and promote the speed and pace of its development. The quality of parts after laser cutting is good, and the production efficiency is significantly improved, which is conducive to small batch production and ensures a market atmosphere with shortened product development cycles. The application of metal laser cutting can accurately locate the size of the blanking die, laying a solid foundation for future mass production.
4. Metal laser cutting can use the advantages of programming software to greatly improve the utilization rate of thin plate materials, reduce the use and waste of materials, and reduce the labor intensity and strength of workers to achieve the desired effect. On the other hand, the function of optimizing nesting can omit the cutting link of thin plate cutting, reduce the clamping of materials, and reduce the time of processing assistance. Therefore, the arrangement of the cutting plan is more reasonable, and the processing efficiency and material saving are improved;
5. High-efficiency, high-flexibility laser cutting technology is the choice of the sheet metal processing industry, whether it is precision, speed or efficiency. Some traditional difficult-to-cut or low-quality cut plates are easy to solve after encountering laser cutting, especially for some carbon steel plate processing, metal laser cutting machines have an unshakable position.
In simple terms, processing is cutting various plates and graphic parts. It can be seen how important the application of sheet metal laser cutting technology is in the sheet metal processing industry. It is believed that laser cutting technology will become more and more widely used in the development of sheet metal processing industry in the future.
As a new technology, laser processing technology is the product of modern scientific development. Laser cutting technology, laser welding technology, laser drilling technology and laser forming technology still need skilled personnel to operate in the production and processing of sheet metal vehicles. With the development of laser material processing technology, the production and processing of sheet metal workshops will inevitably achieve a level of stability, reliability, efficiency and high automation.
The high-tech fiber laser cutting machine will also become the main tool for the development of the sheet metal industry. With the continuous introduction of advanced laser equipment, the development of the sheet metal industry is unstoppable. Driven by fiber laser cutting machines, the prospect of the sheet metal processing industry is very broad.
