What are the common processes for sheet metal cabinet processing?

　　Sheet metal cabinet processing has always been a relatively complex processing technology. However, due to different application industries and products, the processes used in sheet metal cabinet processing may also be different, but generally speaking, the difference is not big. So do you know what are the common processes for sheet metal cabinet processing?

　　The common processes for sheet metal cabinet processing are as follows:

　　1. Assembly process

　　During the processing of sheet metal cabinets, the commonly used assembly methods are ground sample assembly method, contour assembly method, horizontal, vertical and inverted assembly method.

　　2. Cutting process

　　It is to cut the material on the raw material according to the completed layout drawing. The commonly used methods are: manual shearing, mechanical shearing, punching processing, flame cutting, plasma gas cutting and laser cutting. When cutting the material for sheet metal cabinet processing, you can choose according to different technical requirements, batch size and cost factors. Different cutting methods will have different choices for factors such as cutting and processing surplus materials according to the drawing.

　　3. Bending process

　　Due to the complexity of bending, this may be a more difficult step in the metal manufacturing of sheet metal cabinet processing. Engineers must be very familiar with the bending properties of metal. Most bending machines have certain restrictions on bending. Generally, the single-side height is the size of the bending machine and the height of the upper knife. The solution can be multi-sided large-angle bending. The double-sided height should not be greater than the maximum height of the single side. In addition to all the restrictions on the single-side height, it is also restricted by the bottom edge: bending height < bottom edge.

　　4. Forming process

　　The forming process is the most critical link in the processing of sheet metal cabinets. It plays a vital role in design requirements, improving processing efficiency and product quality, and reducing costs. Forming processes include: manual forming, mechanical forming, top pressure forming, explosive forming, etc. Among them, manual forming is a basic skill that traditional sheet metal workers must master; and mechanical forming is the most commonly used process at present. It uses rolling equipment, press bending equipment and molds, calendering equipment and molds, and pipe bending equipment and molds to realize the forming of sheet metal workpieces.

　　The sheet metal cabinet processing has different forming methods and different cutting lengths according to the drawings. We should consider carefully during the production and processing. Otherwise, the cutting size is too large, which wastes materials and increases costs, and sometimes brings difficulties to processing; insufficient cutting will cause workpiece waste. The processing technology is the key to ensuring product quality and improving work efficiency.
