The Basic Process Of Sheet Metal Processing

1. Cutting: refers to the process of obtaining rectangular workpieces from materials through a cutting machine.
2. Blanking: refers to the process of cutting a workpiece through LASER or CNC punch.
3. Blanking: refers to the process of using a mold to process the shape of a product on a regular punch or other equipment.
4. Punching: refers to the process of processing holes on workpieces using ordinary punching machines and molds.
5. Bending: refers to the process in which the workpiece is formed by a Press brake.
6. Forming: refers to the process of using a mold on a regular punch or other equipment to deform a workpiece.
7. Hole drawing: also known as "flanging", refers to the process of using a mold on a regular punch or other equipment to form a circular hole and flip the edge of the workpiece.
8. Tapping: refers to the process of machining internal threads on a workpiece.
9. Expanding: refers to the process of using a drill or milling cutter to process small holes on a workpiece into large holes.
10. Countersunk hole: refers to the process of machining tapered holes on a workpiece to match connectors such as countersunk screws.
11. Riveting: refers to the process of firmly pressing fasteners such as rivet nuts, rivet screws, or rivet nut columns onto the workpiece using a punch or hydraulic press
12. Riveting: refers to the process of first sinking the workpiece into a hole, and then using a punch or hydraulic press to firmly press the rivet nut onto the workpiece.
13. Pulling: Refers to the use of a process similar to riveting. The process of firmly connecting the Rivet nut (POP) and other connecting parts to the workpiece with a master gun.
14. Riveting: refers to the process of using a riveting gun as a tool to tightly connect two or more workpieces with rivets.
15. Riveting: The process of using rivets to connect two or more workpieces face to face together. If countersunk riveting is used, the workpiece needs to be countersunk first.
16. Punching convex: refers to the process of forming a convex shape of a workpiece using a mold on a punch or hydraulic press.
17. Punching and tearing: also known as "punching bridge", refers to the process of using a mold on a punch or hydraulic press to form a workpiece in the shape of a bridge.
18. Stamping: refers to the process of using a mold to punch text, symbols, or other imprints onto a workpiece.
19. Corner cutting: refers to the process of cutting the corners of a workpiece using a mold on a punch or hydraulic press.
20. Punching holes: Refers to the use of a mold to punch a mesh of holes into a workpiece on a regular punch or CNC punch.
21. Flattening: refers to the process of transitioning a workpiece with a certain shape to a flat surface.
22. Drilling: refers to the process of using a drill bit on a drilling or milling machine to drill holes in a workpiece.
23. Chamfering: refers to the process of processing sharp corners of workpieces using molds, files, grinders, etc.
24. Leveling: refers to the process of using other equipment to level the workpiece if it is uneven before and after processing.
25. Tooth restoration: refers to the process of repairing the pre tapped workpiece with a second screw tooth.
26. Applying protective film: refers to the process of using a film that can protect the surface of a workpiece to protect it.
