With the continuous development of machine tools, the throughput considerations of precision sheet metal processors are also evolving-and it all starts with cutting, whether it is laser cutting or stamping. So that the Changzhou laser cutting machine can benefit from each process, but further. The cutting speed of laser combined with the forming ability of stamping can eliminate the need for some secondary operations. ^It is important that the switching between laser cutting tools is efficient and does not require manual intervention.
The decision of portfolio technology^ should ultimately be based on manufacturing speed and flexibility. To determine whether a combined machine is appropriate, consider the following five factors: part geometry; processing capabilities; lean manufacturing; process flexibility and automation options.
1. The geometry of the part
Although lasers are a highly flexible tool that can produce complex features, punching is still the best and efficient way to produce standard holes because they can be punched at once.
2. Processing capacity
Custom processors must produce low-volume, high-variety parts combinations, but they still must ensure that they provide customers with fast and efficient throughput. In this manufacturing environment, understanding effective methods for handling parts is critical. The laser system enables processors to produce even in a small tool library. However, it is important to note that because stamping efficiency is so high, shops should still consider investing in tools that are routinely used, including special shapes.
3. Lean Manufacturing
When considering the improvement of lean production, many manufacturers consider eight common wastes: overproduction, waiting time, transportation, non-value-added processing, excess inventory, unnecessary movement, product defects, and underutilized personnel. A common mistake is to make the parts strictly in accordance with the cycle time. When using a stamping/laser system, the laser cuts the edge of the contour part while the punch taps the hole lightly. It is true that the cutting cycle time on the machine tool is now slightly longer, but automatic tapping eliminates secondary operations and may be important to help prevent misoperation. In the grand plan, a slightly longer cutting cycle is a small price.
4. Flexibility
There is no doubt that the manufacturer's machine type has a great influence on the part design. If a sheet metal manufacturer has only one laser, these parts will be designed according to the strength of the machine. By combining machines, designers can take full advantage of the best features of these two technologies. Laser technology can produce good edge quality, and the punch can be shaped to eliminate the need for secondary operations.
5. Automation
Compared with CO2 laser, the cutting speed of solid-state laser is as high as 25%. With the increase of laser processing speed, greater production capacity. Nevertheless, stand-alone laser cutting systems generally do not have the flexible unattended part classification available on punch presses. The laser provides automatic loading of raw materials and unloading of completed nests. The laser cutting machine can be operated unattended, and the operator will eventually need to remove the finished parts from the skeleton. When they think about the total time required for production, many people forget to consider this time-consuming work.
