Precision sheet metal processing mainly uses machine tool types
2025-07-31
The main machine tool types and features used in precision sheet metal processing are as follows:
1. Cutting Machine Tools
Laser Cutting Machine
Utilizes a 500-4000W laser (Raycus/Chuangxin), capable of cutting carbon steel up to 22mm thick with a positioning accuracy of ±0.05mm. It supports materials such as stainless steel and aluminum.
Applications: Mass processing of chassis, cabinets, and elevator components.
CNC Punching Machine-Laser Composite Machine
Combining punching and laser cutting functions, it eliminates cumulative errors caused by material stress and increases processing efficiency by 50%.
2. Forming Machine Tools
CNC Press Brake
Controlled by an electro-hydraulic servo system, it offers high-precision bending angle tolerances of ±0.5° and supports intelligent programming and multi-axis linkage.
CNC Turret Punching Machine
Processes complex hole shapes using the nibbling process, making it suitable for mass production of thin sheets.
3. Auxiliary Processing Equipment
CNC Milling Machine
This piano-style structure is designed for high-precision flat and curved cutting and is equipped with a tool compensation device.
Wire EDM
Processes ultra-hard materials or complex cavities with an accuracy of 0.01mm.
IV. Technology Trends
Combined: For example, punch-laser combination machines reduce process changeover errors.
Intelligent: Flexible FMS production lines meet the needs of high-variety, low-volume production.
(Note: Equipment selection requires a comprehensive assessment based on material thickness, batch size, and precision requirements.)
