Program Overview
Hardware and mould industry

Hardwares plays great role at our life.with the development of economy and division of Labor in Society,the hard-wares are gradually getting richer and more options.

For current metal hardware are divided by applications with 3 types:as daily commodities,as hand tools to produce and assistance daily life;as building or objects connection,fasten and part of equipment.For metal material hardware needs to be processed by extrusion forging,machining,surface processing and etc.The surface processing purpose is for anti corrosion and being good outlook.Most non-metal hardware are made by mould or forging making with light weight characteristic.

Hardware machining with laser device could greatly reduce the new products machining and manufacturing period and mould investment.It could improve the worker’s processing efficiency and avoid non-necessary machining procedure.Meanwhile it could process complicated machining parts,improve the accuracy,reduce the delivery time and more productive.

Typical Application

Hardware and mould industry

Hardware products with laser cutting application
With laser technology applied to different areas,such as at our kitchen cabinet and cooking wares.For most of the hardware are with stainless steel and Aluminum alloy material which is perfect for applying with laser cutting machine.The laser cutting device is applied to cut raw material with high precision,high performance and flexibility at kitchen hardware application.Meantime,laser welding machine could do different metal parts binding.It got big advantage for mass production with less deformation,high efficiency,wide application.

Laser cutting could avoid saw blade cutting with hairline burrs’ issue and once for all efficiency.The cutting way is very accurate and seldom with reprocess or waste.The speed is 3-5 times faster than saw blade cutting.All the laser cutting could be customized by customers.Just simply input relative data of machining parts could realize high accuracy and precision,good looking laser cutting effect.

Hardware products laser marking application:
Most of hardware products need to be marked with key info like product name,barcode,serial number,instruction,or production date,etc.Compared to traditional printing,hand made engraving,electric processing and tool engraving,laser marking machine could eliminate the burr parts fast,character or logo printing,anti-counterfeiting marking,product serial number marking,product number marking and barcode marking etc.Laser marking got advantage of flexiblity,high conversion efficiency(PCE)of diode,and easy to maintain.It is mostly applied to high standard of high surface finish,details and depth areas.It focuses the light beam to the metal material with instant heating to leave permanent marks.For iron,copper, stainless steel and Aluminum alloy,etc are widely applied to laser marking.

Hardware products laser welding application:
Hardware industry laser welding are greatly applied to phone parts welding,stainless steel screw welding,and small hardware parts welding.The advantage of laser welding is energy centralized,zero-pollution,small spot welding.Due to the welding machine got high precision,fast in speed,the raw material non-distortion after welding,etc. Characteristic,more and more industries are applied with such technology.

Hardware mould industry killing points:

  1. The process is complicated and lots of uncertainty of machining,and big demanding of processing equipment fixer and gigs;
  2. 2.Most are finished or half-finished products.The commonly are multi batches with less quantity, mostly are customized,and the process are frequently modified;
  3. Compared to the other industry,most of the worker in hardware industry are less educated and needs lots of labor involved.So it is inevitable to come up quality issues with poor operation standard.

The advantages of applying laser to Hardware mould industry:
The traditional machine cutting and argon arc welding are facing low efficiency and poor working performance which are no longer meet the modern hardware mould industry needs.So the high precision laser automatic welding and cutting system came to the market.Compared to the knife cutting machine,the laser machine adapts contact-less heating way with high energy focus,tiny facula,small heating area got better performance.

The laser cutting machine could easily do customization without complicated knife design and making,more free to do random design and cutting.It could save the material and improve the efficiency.Compared to the traditional cutting,the laser cutting is 8-20 times faster.

Take laser cutting machine as example,the price is 1/10 of the traditional knife cutting machine with same work efficiency.
