Sheet metal processing and sheet metal are two essential industries in our lives, and almost all metal manufacturing industries use sheet metal processing. As an important sub industry of the metal forming and processing industry, the sheet metal industry is the basic industry of the mechanical manufacturing industry. Its development level reflects the competitiveness of a country's manufacturing process technology. Its products involve many fields such as automobiles, electronics, communications, medical devices, machinery, ships, aviation, and so on, with a wide range of applications.

Traditional sheet metal processing uses processes such as cutting, punching, and bending, which requires a large amount of mold consumption, resulting in a large amount of time and economic cost waste. Therefore, laser technology has emerged in sheet metal processing, and advanced laser equipment have become the key to improving the overall progress of sheet metal processing technology, receiving high attention from the sheet metal industry. With the introduction of new technologies and processes, the sheet metal processing industry has also set off a trend of "automation" and "intelligence".

It is understood that in recent years, laser technology, as a new processing method, has occupied the vast majority of the market share in the field of sheet metal processing. Laser cutting has won a wide market for customers due to its high flexibility, fast cutting speed, high production efficiency, and short production cycle.Laser cutting without cutting force, processing without deformation; No tool wear, good material adaptability; Narrow cutting seam, good cutting quality, high degree of automation, simple operation, low labor intensity, and no pollution; It can realize automatic cutting layout and nesting, improve material utilization, reduce production costs, and achieve good economic benefits. Many experts agree that the next 30-40 years will be a golden period for the development of laser processing technology, and also an important direction for the development of sheet metal processing. Because it is easier to automate and achieve intelligent manufacturing.

Practical Application and Advantages of Laser Cutting Machine in Sheet Metal Processing

1) Laser cutting can effectively utilize the advantages of programming software, greatly improve the utilization rate of thin plate materials, reduce the use and waste of materials, and reduce the labor intensity and intensity of workers, achieving ideal results. On the other hand, optimizing the functionality of layout can omit the opening process of sheet metal cutting, effectively reducing the clamping of materials, and reducing the time for processing assistance. Therefore, to promote a more reasonable arrangement of cutting schemes, effectively improving processing efficiency and material saving;

2) In the increasingly developing market environment, the speed of product development means the market. The application of laser cutting machines can effectively reduce the number of molds used, save the development cycle of new products, and promote the speed and pace of their development. After laser cutting, the quality of parts is good, and the production efficiency is significantly improved, which is conducive to small batch production, strongly and effectively ensuring the market atmosphere in which the product development cycle is gradually shortening. The application of laser cutting can accurately position the size of the blanking die, laying a solid foundation for future mass production;

3) In sheet metal processing operations, almost all sheet metal acne requires a one-time forming operation on a laser cutting machine and direct welding and fitting. Therefore, the application of laser cutting machines reduces the process and duration, effectively improves work efficiency, can achieve dual optimization and reduction of labor intensity and processing costs for workers, while promoting the optimization of the working environment, greatly improving the research and development speed and progress, and reducing mold investment, Effectively reduce costs;

4) The widespread application of metal laser cutting machines in sheet metal processing can effectively shorten the processing and manufacturing cycle of new products, greatly reducing mold investment, etc; Greatly improve the processing speed of workers, eliminating unnecessary processing procedures; At the same time, the wide application of laser cutting machines in industrial processing can effectively process various complex parts, improve accuracy, directly shorten the processing cycle, improve processing accuracy, omit the replacement process of stamping molds, and effectively improve labor productivity.

In short, laser cutting machines have been well and widely used in many fields, especially as a new technological process in sheet metal processing, laser cutting has greatly improved production efficiency and product quality. In the future, laser cutting technology will definitely gain more recognition in production and life, and its application prospects and development prospects are very broad. With the continuous development of social industry and the progress of laser processing technology, laser cutting technology is bound to become an important processing method in the application of sheet metal processing technology. Therefore, it is worth the attention and attention of the majority of peers, and it should be vigorously promoted in actual production.
