Types of processing equipment used in sheet metal processing

2024-07-19

Sheet metal processing involves manufacturing parts or products with specific shapes and sizes through various processes such as cutting, forming, and welding of metal sheets. This technology is widely used in industries such as automotive, electronics, construction, and many others. To meet the evolving production demands and enhance product quality, CTT utilizes a variety of advanced processing equipment. Below is a detailed introduction to some of the main sheet metal processing equipment, their functions, and features:


Laser Cutting Machine
The laser cutting machine uses a high-power laser beam to melt and cut metal materials, ideal for processing parts with complex contours. This technology not only allows for high-speed processing but also, due to the high power of laser equipment, can quickly handle sheets that require multiple holes. However, it cannot perform forming processes such as threading holes or deburring.
Turret Punch Press
The turret punch press installs multiple small dies on a die holder to achieve high-speed continuous stamping, making it highly suitable for making parts with multiple holes. In addition to shearing, it can also perform forming processes such as tapping and deburring. Although processing of perimeters and waist holes is time-consuming, its versatility remains a significant advantage.
Laser Punching Composite Machine
The laser punching composite machine combines the capabilities of a laser cutting machine and a turret punch press, enabling all processes from shearing to forming to be completed in one piece of equipment. This machine reduces the misalignment of workpieces due to changeover, improving processing efficiency and accuracy, making it particularly suitable for mass production.
Deburring Machine

Traditional manual deburring methods are gradually being replaced by automated deburring machines. These machines uniformly and efficiently remove burrs from the workpiece surface through rotating brushes and sandpaper, greatly enhancing production efficiency and product quality.


Bending Machine
The bending machine bends metal sheets by applying pressure between the upper and lower dies, suitable for various materials and thicknesses of metal. Modern bending machines often use numerical control technology to adjust pressure, ensuring processing accuracy and are suitable for factories requiring high-precision bending.
Laser Welding Machine
Laser welding provides a method with a small heat-affected zone, deep and delicate welding, especially with the introduction of fiber laser welding technology, which solves the problem of insufficient strength, making thin sheet welding less likely to deform, easy to operate, and with high welding quality.
TIG Welding Machine

TIG welding is a method that uses inert gas and an electric arc for welding, known for its high-quality weld joints. Although it requires skilled operation, the resulting welds have excellent airtightness and water-tightness and are often considered a "craftsmen's skill."

In summary, the development of sheet metal processing technology relies not only on the advancement of processing techniques but also on the support of these high-precision, high-efficiency processing equipment. With continuous technological innovation, it is expected that sheet metal processing will become more automated and precise in the future, contributing greater strength to the development of the manufacturing industry.
