Sheet Metal Processing Industry — Efficiency Revolution for Small-Batch & Multi-Order Production

Customer Background: A medium-sized sheet metal processing factory (with 12 years of industry experience, serving machinery manufacturing, electrical equipment and other fields; handling over 500 orders per month, with 23 employees)

Key Pain Points:

• Most orders are small-batch customization with frequent model changes; traditional plasma cutting requires repeated debugging, and the preparation time for a single order exceeds 1 hour;

• 8 operators are responsible for the cutting process; manual nesting results in a material utilization rate of only 75%, with monthly waste loss exceeding 8 tons;

• The cutting section has serious burrs, requiring 3 full-time workers for grinding, and the cost of secondary processing accounts for 18%;

• Customers require the delivery cycle to be shortened from 15 days to 10 days, with a production capacity gap of 30%.

Customized Solution:

Equipment Configuration: 6000W fiber laser cutting machine (3015 exchange table model) + automatic loading and unloading system + intelligent nesting software

Process Optimization:

• Pre-installed with over 100 metal cutting parameter libraries, reducing model change debugging time to 10 minutes;

• Intelligent nesting software supports combined layout of multiple orders and automatically avoids defective areas of plates;

• Dual exchange worktables operate alternately, with loading and unloading time ≤15 seconds, enabling 24/7 continuous production;

• Special cutting process for carbon steel/stainless steel, combined with high-purity nitrogen protection.
