What Are The Main Types Of Sheet Metal Parts?
Sheet metal parts are metal parts of various shapes manufactured by sheet metal processing technology. Here are some common sheet metal part types:
1. Sheet metal enclosure: Sheet metal enclosure is one of the most widely used sheet metal parts, used to wrap and protect other equipment or components. For example, electronic equipment casings, electrical control boxes, instrument boxes, etc.
2. Sheet metal frame: Sheet metal frame is used to support and fix other components or equipment, providing structural strength and stability. For example, bases of mechanical equipment, chassis frames, display stands, etc.
3. Sheet metal panels: Sheet metal panels are usually flat sheet metal parts used to cover, isolate or divide other parts. For example, control panels, door panels, instrument panels, etc.
4. Sheet metal tray: A sheet metal tray is a tray-shaped sheet metal part used to store and support other parts or equipment. For example, electronics pallets, tool pallets, material pallets, etc.
5. Sheet metal enclosures: Sheet metal enclosures are used to cover and protect the external surfaces of mechanical equipment or parts. For example, motor housings, lamp housings, sensor housings, etc.
6. Sheet metal sheet: sheet metal sheet is a flat metal sheet, which can be cut, bent, punched, etc. as required, and used to make various other types of sheet metal parts.
These are just some common types of sheet metal parts. In fact, sheet metal processing can manufacture parts of various shapes and sizes. According to the needs of different industries and applications, various specific sheet metal parts can be customized.
Common Methods Of CNC Sheet Metal Processing
CNC sheet metal processing is the process of processing sheet metal using computer numerical control (CNC) technology. The following are several commonly used CNC sheet metal processing methods:
1. Punching: Use CNC punch or punching machine to punch holes on sheet metal according to predetermined procedures and drawings. Punching can be used to create shapes such as holes, slots, grooves, etc., and can perform multiple operations in one operation.
2. Cutting: Use CNC shearing machine to cut large-size sheet metal materials into required size and shape. Cutting is suitable for cutting flat sheet metal into specific shapes, such as strips, rectangles, etc.
3. Bending: The sheet metal is bent by the CNC bending machine, and the flat sheet metal is bent into the required angle and shape. Bending can be used to make sheet metal parts in the shape of boxes, angle irons, U-shaped grooves, etc.
4. Laser cutting: Use CNC laser cutting machine to cut sheet metal by laser beam. Laser cutting can achieve high-precision and high-speed cutting, and is suitable for sheet metal parts of various complex shapes.
5. Welding: In the process of CNC sheet metal processing, automatic welding equipment is often used for welding operations to connect sheet metal parts. Welding can be used to assemble multiple sheet metal parts into complete assemblies or structures.
These methods can be used in combination according to specific processing needs and drawing requirements to complete sheet metal processing tasks of various shapes and sizes. CNC technology makes sheet metal processing more accurate and efficient, and has the advantages of good repeatability and high consistency.
