Where are the main applications of sheet metal processing?

Sheet Metal Processing applications

Sheet metal processing describes the processing steps of sheet metal workshop processing parts as follows: product pre-test, product processing trial production and product batch production. During the product processing trial production steps, we should communicate with customers in a timely manner and get the corresponding processing evaluation before mass production of products.

Laser drilling technology is the earliest practical laser technology in laser material processing technology. Laser drilling in sheet metal workshops generally uses pulsed lasers with high energy density and short time, which can process small holes of 1 μm. It is especially suitable for processing small holes with a certain angle and thin materials. It is also suitable for processing deep holes and micro holes on parts with high strength and hardness or brittle and soft materials.

The laser can be used to punch the burner components of the gas turbine, and the number of punching effects can be realized in three dimensions, up to thousands. The punchable materials include stainless steel, nickel-chromium ferroalloy and HASTELLOY-based alloys. Laser punching technology is not affected by the mechanical properties of the material, making it easier to automate.

With the development of laser punching technology, laser cutting machines have realized automated operation, and the application in the sheet metal industry has changed the processing method of traditional sheet metal technology, realized unmanned operation, greatly improved production efficiency, and realized fully automatic operation throughout the process. This has promoted the development of sheet metal economy and improved the punching effect to a higher level, resulting in significant processing results.
