The future direction of Sheet metal processing: low carbon, environmental protection, energy saving and material saving

Stamping, Sheet metal processing production involves all aspects of the manufacturing industry, it can be said that there are a wide variety of shapes and processes. In the past ten years, as my country has become the world's manufacturing center and a big consumer, the stamping and sheet metal industries, one of the basic industries of manufacturing, have also achieved unprecedented development.

American model: automated production is safe and reliable

Luo Baihui, secretary-general of the International Mold and Metal Plastic Industry Suppliers Association, believes that the biggest difference between Chinese and American stamping and sheet metal processing companies is the difference in the level of automation and informatization.

First of all, the closed-loop control automated production adopted by American companies is safer and more reliable, which facilitates the operation and maintenance of the entire production line. Enterprises have their tooling and mold maintenance workshops, and various sensors are installed or embedded in the molds. The application of these sensors greatly improves the safety and reliability of the entire production line.

Secondly, American stamping and sheet metal companies have a high awareness of safety. The presses are all equipped with safety gratings. When the workers are too close to the press, the press will automatically stop to ensure the safety of the workers.

Thirdly, American companies have their own management information systems. The materials supplied by its raw material suppliers all have barcodes, which are scanned when entering the warehouse, and various information of raw materials will be automatically entered into the production database. As raw materials enter the processing process, the computer hosts in each processing link will automatically input processing information into the database, and this information will always be attached to the final product.
