Specialized Production Sheet Metal Processing

The principle of sheet metal processing

Sheet metal processing is a process of forming, joining and shaping various metal components using sheet metal as raw material and with the assistance of mechanical equipment. Compared to traditional processing methods such as melting and casting, sheet metal processing has the following advantages:

1、High efficiency: As the processing process uses modern machinery and equipment, the production cycle is greatly shortened and the production efficiency is improved;cnc machining

2. Material saving: Unlike traditional machining processes, such as melting and casting, which require a large amount of raw materials, sheet metal fabrication is limited to thin plates, thus reducing the waste of materials;

3、High precision: modern numerical control technology is used in the sheet metal processing process, which can make the parts processed with higher precision, higher surface finish and more in line with product quality requirements;

4. Versatility: The machinery and equipment required for sheet metal processing is relatively versatile, with one piece of equipment being able to handle a wide range of sheet metal specifications, so that changes in the production process do not pose too many difficulties.laser cutting service


The process of sheet metal processing is divided into five steps:

1、Material preparation: Firstly, selecting the appropriate thickness and specification of sheet metal for pre-processing such as cutting, milling and punching;cnc milling parts

2、 Processing process: After mechanical pressure or other processing equipment, the initial sheet iron is processed into the required product or part through a series of processing processes such as forming, shape treatment and riveting;

3、 Surface treatment: surface treatment such as passivation and spraying of the processed sheet products to prevent rusting and corrosion of the sheet;

4、Assembly: assembling the parts together in accordance with the design requirements to become a complete product;

5、Quality inspection: the manufactured products are tested, including the design and function of the products, to ensure that the products can fully meet the customer's requirements.

Application of sheet metal processing

Sheet metal processing has a wide range of applications, mainly divided into the following areas:

1、Automotive manufacturing industry: various chassis, car hoods, doors, lights and seats need to be manufactured through sheet metal processing;

2、Electronic manufacturing industry: all kinds of electronic products such as TV sets, computer monitors, mobile phones, etc. need to be manufactured through sheet metal processing to produce chassis, screens and other parts;

3、Household products: for example, refrigerators, washing machines, ovens, etc. all require sheet metal working to manufacture shells, doors and other parts;

4、Construction industry: sheet metal working to manufacture various types of steel structures, trusses, windows and doors and other construction parts;

5、Medical equipment industry: Sheet metal processing can also produce various kinds of, instrument racks, operating theatre decoration and medical supplies, etc.
