The kitchenware industry includes a wide range of products, ranging from cigarette cookers to pots and pans, which are basically made of stainless steel, fireproof board, aluminum, iron, etc. The key to building high-quality kitchenware equipment is its manufacturing process. The traditional processing of kitchenware equipment is mainly based on CNC punch, which can only be formed by multiple processes such as polishing, shearing and bending. Such processing methods have been plagued by the shortcomings of low efficiency, large mold consumption and high use cost.
Fiber laser cutting machine is believed to be familiar to people. In the highly competitive laser equipment, various steel plate laser cutting machines, laser marking machines, laser drilling machines and so on are popular objects. Under the circumstances of the flow of cheap labor, the lack of superb technology and the rising production costs, only the products of the development of science and technology can keep pace with the development trend of the times.
As one of the most popular cutting technologies at present, laser cutting has been widely used in kitchenware manufacturing. Compared with the traditional cutting process, the optical fiber laser cutting machine can cut the workpiece with better quality, reduce the processing process, and gradually become the main force in the kitchenware processing industry. The traditional kitchenware processing process uses: shearing – punching – bending – welding process or flame plasma cutting – bending – welding process. In front of orders with multiple varieties, small batches, customization, high quality and short delivery time, it shows obvious incompatibility.
Optical fiber laser cutting technology, as an alternative process of “shearing punching”, has the characteristics of flexibility and high flexibility. At the same time, most people also believe that its cost is high. Therefore, it is often used in the manufacturing of special-shaped (or complex) workpieces and samples (single piece or very small batch). But when small batch manufacturing becomes more and more popular and timely, the fiber laser cutting machine does not need to go through these processes, and the cutting effect and quality are better.
In addition to knives, small kitchen appliances such as soup spoons can use laser cutting machines, and large appliances such as range hoods, gas appliances, kitchen tops, and large commercial kitchenware also use sheet metal panels. The traditional process flow needs a large number of molds, design and manufacturing cycle takes a long time, low efficiency and high cost. In the environment of fierce competition in the whole market, it is urgent to adopt new processing methods and equipment to promote industrial development.
