Sheet Metal Chassis
The aluminum sheet metal chassis is a chassis that is required for the use of a comprehensive cold working process for metal sheets (usually below 6 mm). Processing techniques include shearing, punching, cutting, compounding, folding, welding, riveting, splicing, forming (such as car body). Its remarkable feature is the same thickness of the same part. The chassis made of sheet metal can meet the various functions and appearance requirements of the chassis, such as metal chassis for robot and sheet metal robot chassis. The metal chassis for robot can make the stamping die manufacturing at a low cost.
Process Technologies in custom aluminum chassis Fabrication
The aluminum robot chassis is an important part of the sheet metal processing industry. The manufacturing process of sheet metal chassis requires a lot of technology. To get sheet metal chassis, we need some specific technologies. The main technologies in metal chassis fabrication are as follows:
(1) Welding: Welding processes mainly include arc welding, electro slag welding, gas welding, plasma arc welding, fusion welding, pressure welding, brazing and so on.
(2) Stretching: The radius of curvature between the bottom of the pull tab and the straight wall should be b, that is, r1≥t, generally r1=(3～5)t, and the maximum radius of curvature should be less than or equal to the thickness of the plate 8 times of, that is, r1≤8t.
- Blanking: According to different processing methods, blanking can be divided into ordinary blanking, counting punching, shear cutting, laser cutting, wind cutting, etc.
Advantages of Sheet Metal chassis cnc Fabrication
Due to high demand from people, electronic products are increasingly being used in our daily lives, especially the widely used high-level sheet metal chassis. Therefore, it is necessary to share the advantages of sheet metal chassis fabrication, which can be summarized into the following 6 aspects:
Lightweight: Sheet metal is a lightweight material, making it ideal for creating lightweight chassis that improve fuel efficiency in automobiles, reduce the weight of heavy machinery, and make transportation easier.
Durable: Sheet metal is a strong and durable material that can withstand harsh environments and extreme weather conditions. This makes it suitable for chassis used in outdoor applications such as construction machinery, agricultural equipment, and military vehicles.
Cost-effective: aluminum sheet metal components is a cost-effective process that allows manufacturers to produce high-quality products at a lower cost than other fabrication methods. This is due to the relatively low cost of the raw materials and the ease of chassis fabrication parts manufacturing.
Versatile: Sheet metal can be easily manipulated and formed into complex shapes and designs, making it a versatile material that can be used in a wide range of applications. This allows manufacturers to create custom chassis designs that meet specific requirements and specifications.
Corrosion-resistant: Sheet metal can be coated with a variety of protective coatings that make it resistant to corrosion, rust, and other forms of damage. This makes it an ideal material for use in marine applications, where exposure to saltwater can cause significant damage to other materials.
Easy to customize: Sheet metal chassis fabrication can be easily customized into different shapes, colors, and surface treatments, from big equipment to mini PC accessories. The variety of designing options is endless.
Therefore, sheet metal chassis fabrication offers several advantages that make it a popular choice for a wide range of industries and applications. Its lightweight, durability, cost-effectiveness, versatility, corrosion-resistance, and customization capabilities make it a reliable and efficient material for creating high-quality chassis.
Sheet Metal Chassis Materials
Different uses of CNC chassis determine the design and the selection of material. For vehicles, the material used for the construction of the chassis is usually carbon steel, but it is also becoming more commonplace that they are made up of aluminum alloys considering its light-weight characteristic.
Materials for chassis CNC: SGCC galvanized plate, SECC electrolytic plate, SUS stainless steel (model 201 304 316, etc.), SPCC iron plate, white copper, red copper, AL aluminum plate (model 5052 6061, etc.), SPTE, spring steel, manganese steel.
