Laser Cutting Process
Design and Preperatyion
- CAD Modeling: The process begins with creating or receiving a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model of the part to be cut. This model specifies the dimensions and geometry of the part.
- CAM Process: The CAD drawing is then converted into a Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) program, which translates the design into a set of instructions tailored to the laser cutting machine. This includes setting parameters like cutting speed, power, and path.
- Material Selection and Placement: The appropriate material for the part is selected based on its suitability for the application and its ability to be effectively cut by a laser. The material is then properly secured on the cutting table to ensure stability during the cutting process.
Laser Cutting Execution
- Machine Setup: Before cutting, the laser cutter is configured according to the material type and thickness. This includes adjusting the focal length of the laser, laser power, and the assist gas pressure (common gases include oxygen, nitrogen, or air).
- Cutting Process: The laser beam is directed onto the material, which it either melts, burns, or vaporizes along the cut line, depending on the material and settings. A stream of gas blows the molten or burnt material away from the cut, helping to ensure a clean edge.
- Monitoring: Throughout the cutting process, the operation is monitored to ensure accuracy and to adjust any settings as necessary to account for changes in material consistency or anomalies.
Processing & Quality Control
- Removal and Cleaning: Once the cutting is complete, the finished pieces are removed from the cutting table. Any slag or debris from the cutting process is cleaned off the parts.
- Inspection and Quality Assurance: The parts are inspected for quality and accuracy. Measurements are taken to ensure they meet the specifications set out in the CAD model. This might include checking the dimensions, examining the quality of edges, and ensuring there are no defects such as burrs or warping.
- Secondary Processing: If necessary, secondary processes such as bending, welding, or surface finishing are applied to prepare the parts for their final use.
Metal Folding
Metal Bending & Metal Forming
Metal folding, also known as metal bending or forming, is a key process in metal fabrication. It involves reshaping flat metal sheets using machinery like press brakes or folding machines. This technique creates precise bends for various applications in industries such as construction, automotive, and electronics. Metal folding offers flexibility, efficiency, and customization, making it essential for producing a wide range of products, from architectural components to machinery parts. With modern equipment and quality control measures, metal folding ensures accurate bends and high-quality finished products.
