Generally, the three most important steps in a sheet metal factory are cutting, stamping/cutting and folding.
Sheet metal processing is called sheet metal processing. Specifically, such as making chimneys, iron drums, oil tanks, oil pots, ventilation pipes, elbows, round places, funnels, etc. Through the use of plates, the main processes are cutting, bending, forming, welding, riveting and so on. This requires a certain knowledge of geometry.
Modern sheet metal processes include filament winding, laser cutting, rework, metal bonding, metal stretching, plasma cutting, precision welding, roll forming, sheet metal bending forming, die forging, water jet cutting and so on.
Extended data:
The design of sheet metal parts should ensure that the stamping process is simple, the stamping die is easy to manufacture, the stamping quality of sheet metal parts is high and the size is stable under the condition of meeting the product function and appearance requirements. Detailed design guidelines for sheet metal parts can be found in Design Guidelines for Manufacturing and Assembly Products published by Machinery Industry Press.
Generally speaking, the basic equipment of sheet metal factory includes shearing machine, CNC punch/laser, plasma, laser (plasma)/combination machine, bending machine and various auxiliary equipment, such as uncoiler, straightener and deburring machine.
