Specific performance and future prospect of the development trend of intelligent sheet metal processing

Sheet metal processing is an indispensable metal processing technology in life. From machine tools, automobiles, ships, aerospace to electrical appliances, electronics, communications, medical devices, almost all metal manufacturing industries can not do without sheet metal processing technology. Traditional sheet metal processing needs to consume a large number of molds, resulting in a huge waste of time and material costs. However, with the rise of intelligent processing technology, this situation is expected to be improved. So, what changes can intelligent processing technology bring to the sheet metal industry? Through this article, the reader can learn some information about this, and for the practitioners of sheet metal processing, they can better improve their own equipment and technology.

Intelligent manufacturing equipment
Traditional sheet metal processing technology relies on plate cutting, blanking and bending equipment. In addition to completing the operation of production and processing, intelligent manufacturing equipment also has the functions of automatic perception, automatic analysis, automatic reasoning, automatic decision-making and automatic control. It is a high integration of advanced manufacturing technology and information technology, computer technology and intelligent technology in equipment products. Intelligent manufacturing equipment reflects the development requirements of intelligent, digital and networked manufacturing industry. Its level has become an important symbol to measure the industrialization level of a country.
Intelligent flexible production line
Flexible production line is a production line composed of multiple adjustable machine tools, information management system and automatic transportation device. It can combine a variety of production modes, so as to reduce the production cost to the maximum extent and make the best use of everything. Now, under the background of the gradual rise of intelligent technology, the sheet metal processing industry is about to enter the era of flexible production. The establishment of flexible production line based on intelligent technology is the inevitable trend of sheet metal processing. It has incomparable advantages for processing tasks of different varieties, different processes and different batches. With the progress and maturity of technology, the intelligent flexible production line will usher in a high-speed development period.

Industrial robot
Industrial robot is a machine device that automatically performs processing tasks. It can work under the command of people and run automatically according to the program written in advance. Industrial robots with intelligent technology can even assist or replace people's work according to the set principles and guidelines. At present, the sheet metal processing industry has been applied to robots, only in those processes with poor working conditions, such as blanking, grinding and welding. Now, some enterprises have begun to conduct in-depth research on the use of robots for more processes from design, process to production. In the future, robots will more and more penetrate into all processes of the industry, and truly realize the maximum promotion and application.

Information management system
The development trend that sheet metal processing will adopt automation and intelligent technology will inevitably promote the reform of sheet metal processing enterprises in management mode. The establishment of information management system is imperative. This system includes a series of management project modules such as logistics management system, production management system, process technology system, quality management system, automatic quotation system, cost management system and safety assurance system. All modules are managed according to the preset requirements, and the production process is effectively controlled in an all-round way without dead angle.
