What are the benefits of installing automatic sandblasting machine in Kunshan Hardware Processing Factory?

The installation of automatic sandblasting machine in Kunshan Hardware Processing Factory can provide solutions for the core requirements of surface treatment in hardware processing, such as efficiency, accuracy and consistency, especially for the characteristics of dense hardware industry and diverse product types (such as auto parts, electronic accessories, molds, etc.) in Kunshan area. The specific benefits are as follows:

First, greatly improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs.

In hardware processing, the traditional manual sandblasting relies on manual operation, which is inefficient and greatly affected by the proficiency of personnel.

The automatic sandblasting machine can realize continuous and automatic operation, and accurately control parameters such as sandblasting time, pressure and angle through preset programs. A single device can handle hundreds to thousands of workpieces (such as small hardware) per hour, and the efficiency is 3-5 times that of manual sandblasting.

By reducing the dependence on labor, one worker can supervise multiple devices at the same time, reducing the labor cost (especially suitable for the rising labor cost in Kunshan area year by year) and avoiding the problem of fatigue efficiency decline caused by manual operation.

Second, ensure the consistency of surface treatment and improve product quality.

Hardware products (such as precision gears and electronic connectors) have strict requirements on surface roughness and cleanliness, and manual sandblasting is prone to problems such as "missing, overspray and uneven sandblasting".

Automatic sandblasting machine ensures the consistent surface treatment effect of each batch of workpieces through fixed spray gun angle, stable sand flow and accurate conveying speed (such as conveyor belt and turntable), and avoids product quality fluctuation caused by manual operation differences;

The sandblasting path (such as multi-axis linkage spray gun) can be customized for different hardware parts (such as special-shaped parts and small holes), so as to realize uniform treatment of complex surfaces and reduce the rework rate of subsequent processes (such as electroplating and painting).

Third, improve the working environment and ensure the health of workers

A large amount of dust (such as emery and quartz sand particles) and noise will be generated in the process of hardware sandblasting. Workers are directly exposed to polluted environment during manual sandblasting, and long-term exposure may easily lead to occupational health problems such as respiratory diseases and hearing damage.

Automatic sandblasting machine is usually equipped with a closed working chamber and a high-efficiency dust removal system (such as bag dust collector and cyclone separator), the dust collection rate can reach above 95%, and the dust concentration in the workshop can be controlled below 0.5 mg/m (in line with occupational exposure limits on Hazardous Factors in Workplace);

When the equipment is running, the noise is reduced by the sound insulation cover and shock absorption device. With the help of automatic remote control, the contact between workers and high-noise environment is reduced, and the operation safety is improved.

Fourth, adapt to diversified process requirements and enhance production flexibility.

Kunshan Hardware Processing Factory has a variety of products (from standard parts to customized molds), and the requirements for sandblasting technology are quite different (such as rust removal, deburring, matte treatment, surface strengthening, etc.).

The automatic sandblasting machine can flexibly adjust the parameters: by replacing abrasives with different granularity (such as steel shot, alumina and glass beads) and adjusting the sandblasting pressure (0.2-0.8MPa), it can meet the processing requirements of different workpieces (such as fine sand with low pressure for precision electronic components and coarse sand with high pressure for heavy hardware);

Some high-end equipment supports the linkage with the production line (such as butt stamping and welding processes), realizing the automatic circulation of "processing-sandblasting-subsequent treatment", shortening the production cycle and adapting to the order mode of small batch and multi-batch.

Fifth, reduce material loss and save production costs.

When manual sandblasting, manual operation may easily lead to abrasive waste and excessive wear of the workpiece (such as too long sandblasting time).

Automatic sandblasting machine reduces abrasive consumption by accurately controlling sandblasting time and sand consumption (usually more than 30% less than manual sandblasting);

Stable sandblasting parameters can avoid dimensional deviation (such as deformation of thin-walled hardware) caused by over-treatment, reduce the rejection rate, and are especially suitable for processing high-precision hardware (such as automobile precision bearings).

summary

For Kunshan Hardware Processing Factory, the core value of automatic sandblasting machine lies in * * "efficiency improvement+quality stability+cost optimization" * *, which can not only meet the high-precision and multi-variety production needs of local hardware industry, but also enhance the competitiveness of enterprises through automation transformation, and is an important equipment choice for upgrading hardware surface treatment. In the actual selection, the equipment configuration can be customized according to the parameters such as workpiece size (turntable for small parts, pass-through type for large parts) and material (steel grit for metal parts and glass beads for plastic parts).
