5 Ways – Perfect Manufacturing Process to Ensure Delivery

Aluminum Manufacturing Process

Striving for a perfect manufacturing process can minimize WIP and inventory, reduce costs, shorten manufacturing time, and improve product accuracy to ensure perfect product delivery.

1. Analysis and selection of materials in the manufacturing process

(1) Select multiple materials that meet the requirements based on key performance indicators.
(2) The material and its molding process will be selected depending on the material to be molded, the complexity of the parts, the production batch of the parts, the existing production conditions and technical conditions.
(3) Select the most suitable material using an optimization method after comprehensive consideration of material cost, molding process, material performance and reliability of use. Choose materials with a high performance/cost ratio, taking into account raw material costs, raw material utilization, material formation costs, manufacturing process costs and production cycle.

For example, for robot structural parts, AL7075 is stronger and harder than AL6061, but machining takes longer than AL6061 and the material is more expensive. In other cases, the AL6061 is the best choice in terms of price-performance ratio.

2. Processing plan and process analysis

(1) Ensure that technical requirements for processed parts are met and qualified products are processed.
Select the process and processing method according to customer requirements and the environment in which the product is used, and ensure that a product that meets technical requirements is processed.
(2) Contribute to increased productivity.
Improving productivity and compliance is at the heart of the manufacturing process solution. The process and equipment selected for prototyping and mass production should be selected based on lead time and production cost.
(3) Minimization of production costs (processing costs)
Make sure you make products that satisfy your customers. And by selecting and improving processing solutions that are more efficient, cheaper and can reduce customer costs, you increase your competitiveness.

3. Machining precision guarantee

One of the most important aspects of ensuring accuracy is the accuracy of the equipment, which often determines the accuracy of the product. The use of more sophisticated processing equipment is a mandatory requirement.
Experienced processing programming engineers and operation engineers are also important factors in ensuring the precision and quality of the manufacturing process. Qualified operational skills and processing techniques can work wonders.
The reduction, compensation, transfer, equalization and homogenization of the original error is also a very important aspect during the machining process.
At the same time, using less precise and low-cost processing equipment for products with low precision requirements is a good way to save time and costs for customers.

4. Unconventional structure and internal structure processing scheme

The processing of parts with unconventional structure such as deep holes, internal structures and parts with blind spots is not possible with normal CNC machining due to the limitations of CNC freedom and tool size. EDM and WEDM can compensate for this deficiency by electrolyzing the metal surface to reduce the thickness of the part being machined. For the manufacturing process of an unconventional structure, it is usually necessary to make some copper molds according to the internal structure of the part, and then process the part through the conductive properties of the copper molds. However, the machined surface is generally rougher and requires additional polishing. Compared to the visual prototype, the processing difficulties of the physical prototype stand out in these difficulties in achieving this unconventional structure.

5. Improving the process is the best way to reduce costs

Efficient process optimization is the best choice to increase efficiency, increase capacity and reduce manufacturing costs. Analyze and develop the process flow in carrying out customer projects in a scientific and innovative way, clarify important and difficult process points in accordance with customer needs, carry out comprehensive process analysis and create suitable process solutions and process protocols and effective. Develop more scientific and efficient process flows and systems, constantly summarize the knowledge gained in the process implementation process, promote and implement advanced experience, and achieve optimal control over process flow, costs, quality, etc.

For example, the processing method of the robot arm: although its load capacity and strength are improved, the accuracy increases significantly at the same time. Research and develop how to improve CNC machining accuracy after casting the robot arm and develop a more cost-effective manufacturing process for customers.
