Why Sheet Metal Fabrication Matters for Modern Manufacturing
Sheet metal fabrication combines 精确度, 速度和 多功能性, making it ideal for creating enclosures, brackets, and structural parts. With minimal material waste and compatibility with metals like aluminum, steel, and copper, it’s a sustainable alternative to casting or CNC machining.
Core Techniques in Sheet Metal Fabrication
1. Precision Cutting Methods
Cutting is the foundation of sheet metal work. Popular methods include:
- 激光切割: Ideal for intricate designs on thin to medium gauges. Learn more about our 激光切割服务.
- Water Jet Cutting: Uses high-pressure water for heat-sensitive materials.
- 等离子切割: Best for thick metals, offering speed and affordability.
| 方法 | 最适合 | 厚度范围 | 精度 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 激光切割 | Detailed designs | 0.006–0.25 in | ±0.005″ |
| Water Jet | Heat-sensitive metals | Up to 6″ | ±0.001″ |
| 等离子切割 | Heavy-duty parts | 0.5–2″ | ±0.02″ |
2. Shaping Through Deformation
Bending and forming techniques include:
- Press Brake Bending: Creates V-shapes or channels with up to 120° angles.
- 金属冲压: Perfect for embossing, flanging, or creating complex geometries.
- Spinning: Produces rounded parts like cones using CNC-controlled lathes.
3. Joining Components via Assembly
- 焊接: Fuses metals like stainless steel and aluminum.
- Riveting & Fastening: Ensures structural integrity for industrial equipment.
Industry-Specific Applications
- 航空航天: Lightweight aluminum panels for aircraft.
- 医疗设备: Sterile, precision-cut surgical tools.
- 机器人: Durable enclosures for automation systems.
