Sheet metal fabrication involves many processes like cutting, perforating, bending, etc. Via Sheet Metal DFM (Design for Manufacturing), mass production can go on with little to no error. This way, the end product will have the same features as the raw metal. We provide sheet metal design for manufacturing sheet metal box, enclosure, chassis, case, cabinet and cover. Inquire!
There are so many guidelines for DFM. Here, let us give you an example that bend relief needs to be added whenever there is a bend nearby holes. VASUCC Sheet Metal manufacturers know all they need to do when it comes to sheet metal fabrication. It ensures there is little waste from the process.
Bend Relief
Bend relief is an indentation that designers use to ensure the bending process is made easy during manufacturing. If a metallic flange lacks this need relief, then it will get distorted which might cause tearing in the material in use. The rule of bend relief is, it should be equal or greater than the inside radius of the bend.
Distance between a Hole and a Bend
Any metal can get distortions because there is a very small distance between a hole and a bend. Whenever designers are working on the bend, they need to ensure that the distance between these two is at least two times or more the thickness of the metal. That way, there will be little to no metal deformation.
Symmetric Optimization
Installations need to be well done to avoid issues when a system is running. DFM guidelines ensure that everything is aligned and there is no wrong installation. As such, whatever system has been worked on will run smoothly.
Modular Piercing
One other guideline we keenly follow is modular piercing especially when it comes to installation. We ensure that the installation positions are diversified so no one has an issue when it comes to large-scale production. Mistakes are very costly and this gets worse when doing mass production. In making sure everything runs smoothly we increase the overall output from the production.
Generate Weld Groove
In order for your piece to have good quality and enough strength, the weld groove needs to be added to the structure before welding. You also get a better-looking piece overall.
Benefits of Making DFM a Part of Our Manufacturing Process
Consolidated Parts
One of the things you can expect from using DMF is consolidated parts. This manufacturing process makes parts that fit so seamlessly together which is a huge plus. It means that clients do not need to order parts from different places. Aside from cutting down on costs, it ensures that all these parts fit and work well together.
Easy Assembly
Working with VASUCC Sheet Metal often means you work with them with different parts. As such, you need to find a way to ensure that all these parts come well together. You don’t need to be worried that your pieces will not fit well together as all our products are designed and produced based on DFM. Hence, they deliver precision at all times.
Simple Manufacturing
Another reason why VASUCC Sheet Metal uses DFM is how easy it is when it comes to manufacturing. The guidelines put in place ensure that everything runs according to plan. All the steps in manufacturing follow the set of rules. With this, you are sure that the production line will run with little to no interference.
