This varies depending on the project and the type of product to be manufactured, whether it is a new design or a part that has been manufactured before. Often our customers will have some sort of drawing or design spec and depending on how detailed or accurate this is dictates our design team’s input.
More often than not, our designers will draw or re-draw a product based on the customer spec. This allows our client to visualise the final product and make any design amendments prior to manufacture. At this stage, Kio-saki can also make recommendations on design alterations to improve manufacturing efficiency and therefore save money.
Before any parts are cut, folded or punched our design team will create a CAD (computer aided design) component in a virtual 3D environment using three formats:
- DXF
- STEP
- SAT
This allows the design to be exported and sent between our team and the customer, with design modifications made before final sign off.
To do this, our designers use the latest version of Solid works to create, manipulate and output the 3D model product. It also allows design changes to be quickly made and presented back to the customer before manufacture. The time and cost benefits to our customers at this stage are considerable, bearing in mind that we manufacturer parts in batches of thousands or even tens of thousands.
The ability to be 100% confident of a design before manufacturer is priceless.
There is a wide range of different processes that make up the sheet metal fabrication process, depending on the required outcome but the most commonly used are:
Sheet metal folding whereby a machined called a press brake applies tonnage of pressure to the sheet to achieve a desired angle.
Sheet metal laser cutting is used to profile a flat metal sheet. The required shape is “nested” onto the sheet using cnc programming and the ultra-high temperature laser machines follows the specified path, piercing through the metal sheet as it goes to leave a cut out shape. Waste sheet metal skeleton is then recycled.
Sheet metal can also be perforated, profiled and formed through a process called punching in which a tool is forced through the sheet at high velocity, causing a perforation. A cnc punch machine will hit the sheet in this way repeatedly at high speed to create the desired pattern.
Sheet metal components are often welded once all other processing has been completed. Components are joined together to form larger assembly’s through a process of MIG, TIG, spot or even robot welding.
