The widespread popularity of wooden furniture does not need detailed explanation. Metal furniture has also developed rapidly in the past ten years, both in terms of production technology and market demand. From the only bed frames in the past, it has developed to different forms of sofa legs, tables and chairs accessories, etc. Its materials have also developed from metal materials to various light and high-intensity alloy materials, adding a novel touch to furniture products and introducing new trends in decorative beauty.

 

In the past 20 years, metal furniture accessories have been difficult to process. There has been a lack of innovation in technology. The traditional metal processing technology has been relatively simple. Before the technology matured, metal furniture accessories faced the following difficulties in the process of traditional processing and manufacturing:

 

 

Complex process and cumbersome operation The production process of traditional metal furniture accessories generally includes: sawing → CNC processing → processing slope → sampling eye → drilling pipe → bending pipe → cleaning → welding and other 8-9 processes.

 

Low processing accuracy and high waste rate The processing and cutting process of traditional metal furniture accessories is relatively backward. Most of them are cut with a circular saw machine. The combination of machines and manual labor leads to the complexity of the processing procedures.

 

In addition to the inadequate accuracy, there are also defects such as cutting slopes, burrs, low processing efficiency, high production cost, and unguaranteed product quality. Normally, there will even be a lot of waste. If the operation is improper, it can cause the danger of work injury.

 

 

High manpower and labor costs The biggest feature of sawing, punching, and drilling in traditional processing methods is human intervention. The operation of each device requires manual duty because the degree of automation of such equipment is extremely low. For processing non-plate materials, the feeding, positioning, processing operation, and handling of the pipe are manually controlled. Therefore, you can often see in the furniture processing industry many pieces of equipment and many workers.

 

With the changes in market demand in the early 2000s, laser cutting technology gradually became popular in the furniture manufacturing industry, especially in the production of wooden furniture that requires fine processing in metal furniture and metal furniture accessories.

 

 

Previously, the market situation in processing and production was that worker turnover was increasing and recruitment was becoming more difficult. The wages of workers had risen, and labor costs occupied a lot of corporate profits until they introduced various automated large machines, changing the market structure.

 

Laser cutting, as the most important cutting technology in the field of laser processing, accounts for more than 70% and has been recognized and applied by many manufacturing companies.

 

Metal laser cutting technology Metal laser cutting technology is a new type of metal processing technology that uses high-energy laser beams to illuminate the metal surface to quickly melt, vaporize, or achieve ignition points. At the same time, it is blown away by melting or burning materials with high-speed airflow to form seams.

 

This technology can quickly and accurately cut various shapes of metal parts, and the edges are smooth and precise. Compared with traditional metal furniture accessories processing technology, metal laser cutting technology has the following advantages:

 

High precision: High accuracy of laser cutting can greatly reduce the rate of waste and improve product quality.

 

Fast speed: The speed of laser cutting is fast, which can greatly improve production efficiency.

 

High flexibility: Laser cutting can quickly switch between different shapes and sizes of cutting, which is strong.

 

Cost reduction and efficiency: The high degree of automation of laser cutting technology can reduce labor costs and improve production efficiency.

 

With the continuous development of technology, the processing technology of metal furniture and metal furniture accessories is also constantly innovating. In the future, metal furniture accessories will develop rapidly with the support of innovative technology.

 

The advantages of laser cutting technology will help metal furniture accessories to achieve richer design and shape, more precise manufacturing and processing. At the same time, we look forward to the emergence of more new technologies and new processes, promoting the continuous innovation and breakthrough of the metal furniture industry.
