When customizing CNC zinc alloy parts in the smart home industry, the following points need to be paid attention to to ensure that the quality, performance and production efficiency of the parts meet the needs of the industry:
First, design points
Accuracy and size
The design of zinc alloy parts should meet the precision requirements of smart home products, especially those with electronic components and mechanical structures, to ensure that the size is accurate and the tolerance is reasonable.
Consider the ease of installation and disassembly of parts, avoid too tight or too loose design, affecting the assembly efficiency of the product and user experience.
Structure and function
According to the functional requirements of smart home products, design suitable parts structure. For example, for parts that need to withstand a certain force (such as door lock handles, brackets, etc.), sufficient strength and stiffness should be designed.
Consider the manufacturability of parts, avoid designing overly complex or difficult to process structures, increasing manufacturing costs and cycles.
Materials and surface treatment
Select suitable zinc alloy material, consider its mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, casting properties and other factors. For smart home products, zinc alloys with good casting properties and surface treatment capabilities are often used.
Determine the surface treatment of the parts, such as electroplating, spraying, painting, etc., to meet the appearance requirements of the product and corrosion resistance.
Second, processing points
Mold design and production
The design of the mold should ensure the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the parts. Adopt high-precision machining equipment to make molds, such as CNC milling machines, EDM machines, etc.
Considering the service life and easy maintenance of the mold, a reasonable mold structure and cooling system are designed.
CNC machining technology
Develop detailed CNC machining process, including rough machining, semi-finishing machining, finishing and other steps.
Select the right tool and cutting parameters to ensure machining efficiency and part quality. For zinc alloy parts, high-speed steel or carbide tools are often used, cutting speed is moderate, and the feed rate is stable.
Strictly control the temperature, humidity and other environmental factors in the processing process to avoid adverse effects on the quality of parts.
Post-processing and detection
After processing, the parts are deburring, cleaning, polishing and other post-processing operations to improve the surface quality and assembly accuracy of the parts.
Coordinate measuring instrument, optical projector and other inspection equipment are used for comprehensive inspection of parts to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface quality meet the requirements.
Third, quality control and cost optimization
Raw material quality control
The selection of high-quality zinc alloy raw materials to ensure that the composition of the material is uniform, no impurities, stable performance.
Strict inspection and testing of raw materials, such as chemical composition analysis, mechanical properties testing, etc.
Production process quality control
Establish a sound quality management system to monitor and record the processing process in real time.
Maintain and calibrate the equipment regularly to ensure machining accuracy and stability.
Analyze and deal with the problems in the process of processing in time to avoid the generation of defective products.
Cost optimization
Optimize mold design and processing technology, improve material utilization and production efficiency, and reduce manufacturing costs.
Adopt advanced production equipment and automation technology to improve production efficiency and product quality.
Establish long-term and stable cooperative relations with suppliers to obtain more favorable raw material prices and better service.
Fourth, special requirements of the industry
Environmental protection requirement
The smart home industry is increasingly demanding for environmental protection, and the processing of zinc alloy parts should strictly comply with environmental regulations to reduce waste emissions and environmental pollution.
Environmentally friendly surface treatment, such as water-based coatings, chromium-free electroplating, etc.
Intelligent requirement
With the intelligent development of smart home products, the design of zinc alloy parts should consider the integration and coordination with intelligent control systems.
For example, intelligent components such as sensors and actuators are integrated in door lock parts to achieve remote control and automated operation.
Personalized and customized requirements
The smart home market is increasingly diversified, and consumers’ demand for personalized and customized products is increasing.
The processing of zinc alloy parts should meet the individual needs of customers, and provide diversified design schemes and processing services.
