Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication Services

Laser cutting

Laser cutting is a high-precision material processing technology. It is a commonly used processing method in sheet metal fabrication manufacturing. With computer assistance, the workpiece moves along the designed cutting trajectory. The high-energy laser beam melts, evaporates, or decomposes the material’s surface to achieve the cutting purpose. Laser cutting is widely used in the manufacturing fields of automobiles, home appliances, mechanical equipment, electronic products, etc.

Power classification of laser cutting:

• Small laser cutting machines below 1000W are mainly used for cutting carbon steel (0.8-10mm), stainless steel (0.8-5mm), aluminum alloy (0.8-3mm), and brass plates (1-3mm).
• Medium-sized equipment with a power of 1000W to 6000W can cut carbon steel (1.0-25mm), stainless steel (1.0-20mm), aluminum alloy (1.0-10mm), and brass plates (1.0-8mm).
• High-power laser cutting equipment exceeding 6000W can cut carbon steel (1.0-200mm), stainless steel (1.0-150mm), aluminum alloy (1.0-50mm), and brass plate (1.0-20mm).

Sheet metal bending process

The basic principle of the sheet metal bending process is to use the plastic deformation of metal to manufacture parts or components of the required shape and size. During the bending process, the metal sheet undergoes a series of bending, forming, welding, and other processes to form the required shape and size gradually. The sheet metal bending process can be achieved through different molds or bending equipment.

Bending process flow:

• Prepare materials: Laser cut the metal sheet according to the required size.
• Mold preparation: Prepare the corresponding bending mold according to the required processing shape and size.
• Bending: Put the metal sheet into the bending mold and bend it through the bending equipment.
• Welding: Weld various metal sheets through welding equipment to form a complete component.
• Polishing: Polish all welding points and edges of products.
• Inspection: Check whether each dimension meets the requirements according to the drawing and make an inspection report.
• Surface treatment: painting, powder coating, electroplating, etc.

Standard: Laser cutting, welding, polishing, and cleaning of sheet metal parts without any extra processing, followed by direct delivery.

Sandblasting: By spraying sand or other granular materials onto the surface of the product at high speed, minor scratches on the surface can be removed. This makes the surface matte and more beautiful.

Anodizing: Anodizing can make the surface of the product appear in different colors, usually divided into two types:

• (MIL-A-8625/MIL-PRF-8625, Type II) – Normal anodized, thickness around 10um
• MIL-A-8625, Type III, Class 1/2 “hardcoat”) – Hard anodized, thickness 35-50um

Powder spraying: The powder is sprayed onto the surface of the part product and then baked at high temperature to achieve a wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and strong surface. RAL codes allow us to choose from a variety of colors.

Electroplating: Electroplating is usually used for carbon steel materials to prevent products from rusting and improve product strength.

AIXI is a top-notch custom sheet metal fabrication service supplier. We have our sheet metal fabrication factory and can independently complete precision sheet metal fabrication. Sheet metal processing is a subtractive manufacturing process. It cuts, bends, and assembles metal sheets into parts of various shapes and structures:

1. We cut the metal sheets with a laser or a shearing machine.
2. A bending machine or roller is used to make the metal sheets into specific angles.
3. The parts are assembled, and post-processing is completed by welding or riveting.

AIXI sheet metal manufacturing can ensure the precision and durability of the parts.

Candy red transparent powder coating Edelweiss-3-Pre-Chassis aluminum parts

Candy red coating is different from other coatings because it is transparent, and different thicknesses have different colors.

If you also like this color, contact us. It’s very nice to choose. Sure, this is more expensive than other normal coatings.
