Furniture hardware stampings are widely used in all types of household furniture, with a multitude of categories ranging from entryways to bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and more. Let's dive into the knowledge related to furniture hardware stampings!

 

Stamping involves using the pressure of a press to form metal or non-metal sheets through process-specific dies. The production process of hardware stamping is carried out with the premise of material loss. The stamping dies are characterized by their substantial weight and rigidity. Moreover, after the plastic deformation of the sheet metal, the internal structure of the metal is improved, enhancing the strength of the hardware stamping dies.

 

When designing furniture hardware stampings, in addition to meeting the product's usage requirements, the manufacturability of the hardware stampings should also be ensured. The manufacturability of stampings refers to their adaptability to stamping processes, that is, whether the designed stampings can meet the process requirements in terms of structural shape and dimensional accuracy.

 

Therefore, when designing stampings, the following design principles should be followed based on the manufacturability of the product:

 

1. Furniture hardware stampings must meet the product's usage and technical performance requirements and be easy to assemble and repair.

 

2. Furniture hardware stampings must facilitate the improvement of material utilization, reduce the variety and specifications of materials, and use low-cost materials when permissible.

 

3. Furniture hardware stampings must have a simple shape and rational structure to simplify the die structure, optimize the number of processes, and complete the entire part processing with the fewest and simplest stamping operations. Avoid using other processing methods as much as possible, which is conducive to stamping operations, facilitates the organization of mechanized and automated production, and improves labor productivity. Hardware stampings have high dimensional accuracy and good interchangeability due to the average size difference with the module. They meet the requirements for general disassembly and use without further processing by mechanical equipment.

 

4. Material Selection: The choice of material for stamping operations is not only related to the quality and performance of the product but also to production efficiency and cost. Therefore, the appropriate material should be selected according to the product's usage environment and requirements, considering the material's corrosion resistance, hardness, and strength. Under the premise of ensuring quality, choose materials that are easy to process and also ensure that the material supply channels are reliable.

 

5. Die Design and Manufacturing: During the design process, consider the product's structure, shape, size, material thickness, elasticity, and strength. Layout the die components reasonably. In the die manufacturing process, use high-precision processing equipment and processes to ensure the accuracy and lifespan of the dies.

 

6. Mechanical Equipment: Using high-precision equipment can effectively improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs. Regular maintenance and upkeep of mechanical equipment are also crucial, extending the service life of the equipment and reducing production costs.

 

7. The Stamping Process: The stamping process is the core link in the processing of precision hardware stampings. In this process, the material is placed in the die, and the press applies impact and pressure to form the material into the required shape and size. The stamping process requires reasonable setting of press parameters, precise control of speed, strength, stroke, etc. Through precise process control, ensure the accuracy of the stampings to guarantee their quality.
