Sheet Metal Cutting Machinery

In Metalworking Industry, a workpiece is subjected to a number of cutting operations. These processes include sawing, shaping, drilling, grinding, turning, milling and few others. For each of these metal cutting operations, there is one or the machine available in the market. These Metal Cutting Machines are classified on various parameters but their basic job remains the same i.e. to transform a workpiece into a practically usable final product.

Classification Of Sheet Metal Cutting Machines

Sheet Cutting Machines are classified on the basis of degree of specialization, motion and automation.

Degree of Specialization: Sheet Metal Cutting Machines can be classified on the basis of the degree of specialization. A Sheet Metal Cutting Machine is usually categorized into 2 types :

• General Purpose Metal Cutting Machine
• Special Purpose Metal Cutting Machine

General Purpose Sheet Cutting Machines are used to produce a wide range of shapes and sizes. Special Purpose Sheet Cutting Machines are used for crafting custom shapes. The most common example of a special sheet cutting machine is a Punching Machine. A Punching Machines comes in a set shape. When a sheet of metal is moved between the top and the bottom of a punch machine, precision cuts are obtained. Punching machines may be observed in the manufacturing of automobile parts.

Motion: Depending upon whether the cutting element of the machine is stationary or movable, there can be two types of Metal Cutting Machines. The ones with stationary cutting arms produce precision cuts, while those that run on a horizontal or vertical axis are used to manufacture complex design and shapes. For example, Industrial saws are used to cut correct sized workpiece from a large stock of raw materials. For cutting a metal sheet through a saw, a metal sheet is slid through the machine, the reciprocating motion of the blade allows continuous cut.

Automation: Automation is another criterion for classifying a Metal Sheet Cutting Machine. On the basis of automation, a machine may be subcategorized as manual/semi-automatic/automatic. The prime example for an automatic sheet metal cutting machine is a laser cutting machine. Laser cutting machines are Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) machines that heat and burn the surface of a metal sheet by allowing concentrated beam of laser light to pass right through the surface. By using oxygen on the nozzle of the beam, the sheet metal is cut in a fast, smooth and precise way.
