Overview of sheet metal slotting：
Sheet metal slotting is a common sheet metal processing method used to process parts of different shapes, which is widely used in automotive, electronic devices, machinery manufacturing and other fields.The purpose of sheet metal grooving is to create a recess in the sheet metal to meet the specific needs of the part, as well as to change the shape and properties of the sheet metal.Slotting means that a certain number of slots are made in the sheet metal through cutting techniques, where the slots are bent or folded to meet the requirements of the processed part.
1.Reduce bending costs：The shape of the slot opening allows for more precise bending and forming, resulting in less scrap and lower costs.
2.Improvement of bending accuracy：The role of the groove is to make the forming of sheet metal bending more precise. With the help of the slots, it is possible to ensure that the angle of the bend, the radius of the bend and the geometry of the bend are more precise.
3.Reinforcement of sheet metal bending strength：The presence of slots enhances the strength of the sheet metal and thus better meets the requirements of use. The grooves in the sheet metal bending make it possible to connect and support the sheet metal with other components very reliably.
Sheet metal grooving process：
1.Design drawings: first of all, you need to design the drawings for the parts to be processed, and mark the location and shape of the groove.
2.Sheet metal material preparation: According to the design requirements, select suitable sheet metal materials and carry out pre-processing work such as cutting and grinding.
3.Slotting process: Slotting is carried out on sheet metal materials using the appropriate equipment, which is required to ensure accurate slotting position, regular shape, flat surface, smooth incision and other requirements.
4.Shaping: Shaping is required after slotting to ensure accuracy and flatness of the part size and shape.
5.Surface treatment: Surface treatment of machined parts to prevent corrosion and increase aesthetics.
Sheet metal grooving precautions：
1.Select appropriate processing equipment and technology to avoid problems such as too large or too small slotting size, cracks and deformation.
2.Control the depth and angle of grooving to avoid affecting the strength and serviceability of the part.
3.Choose sheet metal materials wisely to avoid problems such as material fatigue and breakage after slotting.
4.Pay attention to protect the cutter in the grooving process to avoid problems such as dullness and wear, which will affect the processing efficiency and quality.
5.When performing the shaping process, it is also necessary to control the intensity and speed of the process in order to avoid affecting the properties of the sheet metal material.
Sheet metal planing groove advantage:
Improved product toughness and weight reduction：
Sheet metal planing groove is the sheet metal plate material through mechanical equipment for cutting, forming incisions, so that the surface of the sheet metal plate material presents different shapes and sizes of grooves, which can improve the toughness and strength of the sheet metal products, reduce the overall weight of the sheet metal products, so that the products are more lightweight, flexible, and also improve the mechanical properties and durability of the products.
Enabling precise machining and strengthening of welded seams：
Sheet metal planing can achieve accurate processing of sheet metal sheets through precise processing technology. During the process of sheet metal grooving, manufacturers can customise different shapes and sizes of grooves according to customers’ needs, which makes the processing of sheet metal products more accurate and detailed. In addition, sheet metal planing can also strengthen the welded seams of sheet metal products, improving the structural stability and overall strength of sheet metal products.
Applications in various fields：
Sheet metal planing channels have a wide range of applications in various fields. In the automotive industry, sheet metal planing channels can be used to make car bodies and interior fittings; in the electronics industry, they can be used to make electrical enclosures and metal parts; in the construction industry, they can be used as sheet metal roof tiles and material partitions, etc.
1.Automobile manufacturing：
The assembly and processing of sheet metal is very critical in the automotive production process. In order to ensure the safety and stability of the car, it is necessary to groove the sheet metal bending to improve the stability of the sheet metal connection.
2.Electronics manufacturing：
In the manufacturing of electronic products, in order to ensure the aesthetic appearance and precision requirements of electronic equipment, it is necessary to process slots in the sheet metal bending to achieve better processing results.
3.Construction：
In the construction industry, grooves in sheet metal bending are also required to ensure the stability and precision required for building installations.
