Sheet-metal fabrication term “cutting stock”: refers to the process of obtaining rectangular workpieces from sheet material using a shearing machine. Our company uses CNC shear machines for cutting stock with net dimensions. This is an ideal process for workpieces that do not require high precision; process engineers should frequently employ this method in production, as it results in low processing costs.

Numerical Punching: Refers to the punching operation performed using a CNC punch press. Typically, programming is required, and the surface of the numerical punch drawing should be oriented as the front side of the part during machining. The key aspect of numerical punching is material layout—carefully calculating material usage to ensure that the required quantity can be processed in a single run. Laser Cutting: Refers to the process in which workpieces are cut and shaped using laser cutting technology. This process has high machining costs, so process engineers should use it sparingly.
Cutting with a grinding-wheel power cutter refers to a cutting process that uses a grinding-wheel electric cutter. This method is suitable for materials with low precision requirements and is often used for cutting profiled materials. However, this process carries certain processing safety risks, so process engineers should use it sparingly. Sawing refers to a cutting process that employs a sawing machine. Like the grinding-wheel cutting method, this process is also suitable for materials with low precision requirements and is commonly used for cutting profiled materials.
Blanking: Refers to the manufacturing process in which product shapes are obtained by using dies on a conventional punch press or other equipment. Punching: Refers to the manufacturing process in which holes are created in workpieces using a conventional punch press and dies. Bending: Refers to the manufacturing process in which workpieces are formed using a bending machine. Our company uses CNC bending machines.
Before starting production, first conduct trial runs and machine adjustments using the corresponding bending dies, and perform the initial inspection thoroughly. If any special requirements exist, the process engineer must provide clarification. Punch bending refers to the use of a standard punch press equipped with specialized dies, designed for bending small-sized, simple workpieces. Forming refers to the manufacturing process in which workpieces are deformed using dies mounted on a standard punch press or other equipment.
