Introduction to Common Equipment in Metal Processing
The diagram below illustrates the core path of a typical metal product (such as a machine part) from raw materials to finished product: The following is a very typical and efficient metal sheet metal processing flow, which is particularly suitable for structural components such as housings that require high strength and high precision. 1laser cutting PRODUCTS | Vinntec Cutting, Bending & Welding Equipment Purpose: To cut a single sheet of metal (usually carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminum) into planar parts with precise holes, grooves, and outer contours. Process Overview: Programming and Loading: A cutting program is generated based on CAD drawings, and the sheet metal is placed on the cutting table. Cutting: A high-power laser beam is focused on the material surface, rapidly melting and vaporizing it. Simultaneously, an auxiliary gas (such as oxygen for carbon steel, nitrogen for stainless steel) blows away the molten slag, forming a cutting kerf. Unloading: After cu...
