Custom Sheet Metal Brackets for Architecture and Infrastructure
Service Progress in Custom Sheet Metal Brackets
1. Design & Engineering Analysis
Requirement Communication: Client provides detailed design drawings, specifications, and usage environment information including architectural drawings, installation locations, load-bearing requirements, wind pressure resistance, and desired appearance.
DFM (Design for Manufacturability) Review: Engineers evaluate design files for manufacturability.
Material and Surface Treatment Selection: Based on usage environment (indoor/outdoor), corrosion resistance requirements, and budget, we recommend suitable materials including galvanized steel, stainless steel (304 or 316), and aluminum alloys. Surface treatments may include powder coating, anodizing, or hot-dip galvanizing.
Quotation and Project Confirmation: Detailed quote provided based on design complexity, material costs, processing time, and quantity.
2. Programming & Preparation
2D Flat Pattern: Engineers convert 3D model into 2D flat pattern for laser cutting or CNC punching with precise calculations for accurate final dimensions.
CNC Programming: Generate appropriate CNC code (G-code) for laser cutter, CNC punch press, or CNC press brake.
Material Procurement and Preparation: Required sheet metal is procured and pre-treated if necessary.
3. Fabrication & Forming
- Cutting: Laser cutter or CNC punch press precisely cuts sheet metal
- Bending: Cut parts placed into CNC press brake for precise angle bending
- Welding (if needed): TIG and MIG welding for complex assemblies
- Deburring & Finishing: Polishing to remove burrs and sharp edges
4. Surface Finishing & Detailing
- Cleaning: Thorough cleaning before coating application
- Coating: Powder coating, hot-dip galvanizing, or anodizing based on requirements
- Other Detailing: Silk-screening or installing nuts and studs
5. Quality Control & Delivery
- Dimensional Inspection: Using calipers, tape measures, or CMM
- Surface Inspection: Checking coating thickness, adhesion, and appearance
- Assembly Check: Test assembly for multi-part components
- Packaging and Delivery: Proper packaging to prevent transport damage
Common Materials and Their Characteristics
Galvanized Steel
Characteristics: Zinc coating prevents rust and corrosion with good strength and cost-effectiveness. Easily cut and bent.
Applications: HVAC ducts, roof brackets, vents, structural connectors, and frames for outdoor environments.
Stainless Steel
Characteristics: Excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and clean appearance. 304 and 316 grades available, with 316 offering superior chloride resistance.
Applications: Architectural facades, railings, interior decor, kitchens, public sanitary facilities, and structural brackets for harsh conditions.
Aluminum Alloys
Characteristics: Lightweight and corrosion resistant. Easily extruded and machined with anodizing for color options.
Applications: Building facades, window frames, sunshades, roofing systems, and lightweight structural brackets.
