What accounts for one third of the metal processing industry? Do you know? This is the sheet metal processing, which is widely used in all walks of life.

The cutting process of sheet metal includes: laser cutting, plasma cutting, flame cutting, plate shears, stamping, etc. To a certain extent, the laser cutting machine has brought a major technological revolution for sheet metal processing. Compared with the traditional cutting method, the sheet metal laser cutting machine is simpler to operate, has high processing accuracy, and can perfectly meet the needs of customers.

Traditional Sheet Metal Process

The traditional sheet metal process is: shearing stamping bending welding process or flame plasma cutting bending welding process. The current orders are generally varieties. The traditional sheet metal processing process obviously cannot adapt to this rhythm. As an alternative process of "shearing stamping", the laser cutting process has the characteristics of flexibility and high flexibility, so it is often used in the production of orders with irregular or complex shapes.

Application Advantages Of Laser Cutting Technology In Sheet Metal Processing

The laser cutting technology is booming in recent years, and is also widely recognized by users. For metal sheet cutting, the effective range of laser cutting is very wide.

1.It is conducive to optimizing process and reducing work difficulty and intensity

Laser processing belongs to non-contact processing. It does not need tools and has no influence of mechanical processing deformation. Some traditional processes are difficult to cut or cut low quality plates. The problem can be easily solved after laser cutting.

At the same time, laser cutting technology reduces the use of mold, which can promote the smooth development of product development and design work, and can effectively reduce the application time. Through the application of laser cutting machine, the workpieces of sheet metal processing can be directly welded and sleeved.

2.It is conducive to improving the efficiency of processing

Laser cutting technology is a very advanced process technology. Through the analysis of its processing principle, it can be seen that it can reduce processing time with its high-precision, fast and accurate cutting technology, and it is often a one-time forming in sheet metal processing operations, which improves the utilization rate of materials and other resources, and improves the working efficiency.

3.It is conducive to improving the quality of machined workpieces

Because laser cutting technology has the characteristics of small kerf, fine density, smooth incision, etc., it can effectively process various complex parts. Just do a good job of cutting graphics, import them into the control system, you can set the size for cutting, and complete the cutting operation in a fast time. Therefore, while improving the processing efficiency, you can also enhance the quality of the processed workpiece, And then provide a solid quality guarantee for its further use.

4.Helps to reduce processing costs

Compared with other cutting mechanisms, laser cutting has high cost efficiency. In the practical application of laser cutting technology, it will effectively use the advantages of NC programming software to strictly and effectively control the application of related processing materials, and improve the utilization rate of sheet metal materials, so as to achieve the optimal configuration of processing materials, reduce waste, and reduce the number of clamping times, thereby helping enterprises reduce the cost of sheet metal processing.

5.Fast cutting speed and optimized working environment

The laser cutting machine can cut quickly, the equipment is stable when working, the noise is low, there is no dust, and it will not produce chemicals harmful to human body and the environment. It is also a kind of considerate protection for the operators, ensuring the cleanness of the production site, reducing the investment in the later stage, reducing pollution, helping the hardware enterprises to promote the optimization of the working environment, and complying with the tide of environmental protection.

6.Low maintenance cost and high cost performance

The maintenance of mechanical products is very expensive, while the laser cutting machine has stable performance, is durable and can work continuously, and is not easy to be damaged. It has great advantages in terms of later maintenance costs.

The high-tech optical 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 sheet metal industry is unstoppable. Driven by optical fiber laser cutting machine, the prospect of sheet metal processing industry is very broad.
