How strong is the aluminum profile processing technology?

With the continuous innovation and progress of mechanical engineering technology, the application of automation technology in manufacturing in China is developing in the direction of integration, intelligence, virtualization and agility.

At present, in order to strengthen the integrated function and develop mechanical production, many aluminum production and processing enterprises can improve on the basis of the original technology, access digital automation equipment, and make the entire manufacturing process more perfect and specific through the intelligent digital production model.

CNC machining of aluminum profiles, also known as precision aluminum alloy CNC machining, is the use of CNC automatic lathes to process materials, the precision of the processed aluminum profile parts is quite high, the surface gloss is gorgeous, can meet the requirements of most enterprises for the accuracy of aluminum profiles, is the most advanced and commonly used processing method in the manufacturing industry.

So, what are the process procedures of CNC Machining For Precision Aluminum Parts technology?

Aluminum profile cutting

Aluminum profile cutting is the most basic and common processing method in the CNC machining process of aluminum profile. Because the standard size of industrial aluminum profiles is 6020mm, aluminum profiles with different lengths or angles need to be processed to assemble into a frame.

perforate

Industrial aluminum profiles have a variety of connection methods, which need to be perforated according to different connection methods, and the common perforation methods include: through holes and stepped holes.

(1) Through holes:

It is mainly used for the fastening connection of commonly used bolts (semi-circular heads).

(2) Stepped hole:

It is mainly used for the fastening connection of special special connectors (built-in connectors, inner connectors), and is a process with high technical content used in the CNC machining process of aluminum profiles.

Aluminum profile tapping

Aluminum profile tapping is what we often call tapping. The processing of aluminum profile is to thread and tap the end tapping hole of the aluminum profile according to the technical requirements of the design drawings, which is used for the fastening connection of the frame in the later stage.

Milling machine CNC milling

The conventional frame assembly of aluminum profiles does not need to be processed by CNC milling, but in special cases, the use of non-standard parts and profiles, as well as the expansion of functions, need to be CNC machining of aluminum profiles according to technical needs.

Compared with the traditional processing technology, the advantages of CNC machining of aluminum profiles are more prominent:

(1) Reduce the number of tooling:

The number of tooling is greatly reduced, and complex tooling is not required for machining parts with complex shapes. If you want to change the shape and size of the part, you only need to modify the part processing program, which is suitable for new product development and modification.

(2) Stable processing quality:

The machining accuracy is high, the repeatability is high, the maximum machining accuracy can reach ±0.01mm, the size is accurate, and the error is small.

(3) Multi-variety, small batch:

Higher productivity in small batches reduces time spent on production preparation, machine adjustments, and process inspections, and reduces cutting time due to the use of optimal stock removal, which in turn improves lead times.

(4) Machining cross-section:

It can process complex surfaces that are difficult to process by conventional methods, and even some parts that cannot be observed.

With the development of science and technology, the processing technology of aluminum profiles is also constantly upgrading, and enterprises will be able to provide consumers with better products and high-quality services by using more intelligent digital production models.
