The materials used in sheet metal processing mainly include soft steel plates, stainless steel plates, surface-treated steel plates, aluminum plates, and copper plates. Steel plates are classified by thickness into thick plates (6mm or more), medium plates (3mm or more but less than 6mm), and thin plates (less than 3mm). This document introduces "materials used in sheet metal processing," as well as "classification of sheet metal materials" and "standard materials and sketch materials." Please feel free to download and take a look.

The drawing is the starting point for creating a product and also serves as an instruction manual. When processing, it is essential to first take the time to "read" the drawing carefully. Once the reading is complete, you will move on to the unfolding work to create the processing drawing and develop the NC program. This document introduces topics such as "reading drawings, unfolding, and creating NC programs," as well as "key points when reading drawings" and "knowledge necessary for unfolding." Please feel free to download and take a look. [Contents] ■ Reading Drawings, Unfolding, and Creating NC Programs - Reading Drawings and Unfolding - Creating NC Programs ■ Key Points When Reading Drawings ■ Knowledge Necessary for Unfolding *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This document introduces the "shearing process," which involves cutting sketch materials (cut boards) of the required size from standard-sized materials through shearing processing. It includes "the principle of processing," as well as "points and considerations for processing." Please feel free to download and take a look. 【Contents】 ■ Shearing Process - Principle of Processing - Is the clearance appropriate? - Keep in mind the relationship between shear angle and material deformation - Points and considerations for processing *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This document introduces the "punching process" performed by NCT (NC turret punch press) and similar machines. It includes topics such as the "principle of processing" and "structure and types of dies for NCT." Please feel free to download and take a look. 【Contents (partial)】 ■ Punching Process - Principle of Processing - Structure and Types of Dies for NCT - Die Clearance - Joints during Piercing Process *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This document introduces "laser processing." It includes sections such as "What is a laser processing machine?", "Principles of processing," "Types of assist gases," and "Scope of processing." Please feel free to download and take a look. 【Contents】 ■ What is a laser processing machine? ■ Principles of processing ■ Types of assist gases ■ Piercing and approach ■ Scope of processing *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Bending processing is a manufacturing process that involves bending workpieces that have been processed by punching or laser cutting, transforming them from flat plates into three-dimensional shapes. This document introduces topics such as "What is bending processing?", "Types of bending processing", "What is unilateral elongation?", and "Selection of molds". Please feel free to download and take a look. [Contents (partial)] ■ What is bending processing? ・ Principles of processing ・ Springback ■ Types of bending processing ■ What is unilateral elongation? *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Products of sheet metal processing are assembled by joining various processed components. The joining methods in this case include welding, adhesive bonding, riveting, screw fastening, and folding, among others. This document introduces the "features of tapping in sheet metal processing," as well as "process patterns by the type of processing machine" and "types and characteristics of taps." Please feel free to download and take a look. 【Contents】 ■ Tapping ■ Features of tapping in sheet metal processing ■ Process patterns by the type of processing machine ■ Types and characteristics of taps ■ Hole diameter and bar ring diameter ■ Inspection methods for tapping *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

For joining sheet metal parts, tapping is often used, but when using screws, a countersink may be made on the mounting side of the part to ensure that the screw head does not protrude from the surface. In addition to tapping, there are methods such as welding nuts and bolts, as well as press-fitting nuts and bolts. This document introduces these joining methods. Please feel free to download and take a look. [Contents] ■ Countersinking ■ Weld nuts ■ Stud welding ■ Fasteners (press-fit bolts and press-fit nuts) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Welding is a method of joining metals that utilizes their properties (metallurgical joining method). Although it is referred to simply as welding, there are various types of welding methods, each with its own characteristics. This document introduces the "classification of welding methods," such as "fusion welding" and "pressure welding," as well as "various welding methods." Please feel free to download and take a look. 【Contents】 ■ Classification of welding methods ・ Fusion welding ・ Pressure welding ・ Brazing ■ Various welding methods ・ Spot welding ・ TIG welding (Tungsten Inert Gas Arc welding) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In shearing and punching processes, "burrs" occur, and in laser processing, "dross" adheres to the back surface of the workpiece. "Burrs and dross" can cause injuries and, in the case of copiers that handle paper, can lead to paper jams and other malfunctions. As the responsibility for manufactured goods is being scrutinized more strictly, there is an increasing demand for products that require the removal of "burrs and dross." In this document, we introduce a variety of tools, starting with "deburring machines," as well as "files" and "dedicated deburring tools (scrapers)." Please feel free to download and take a look. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In this document, we introduce the "development drawing" of the created drawings (processing drawings) by considering the designer's intentions shown in the drawings, as well as taking into account methods that are easy to process, quality, and costs (processing time), to determine the shape before bending and welding processing (blank shape). We also include the "flow of creating development drawings," as well as "practice problems" and "exercise problems." Please feel free to download and take a look.
