Strengths

The critical points of this part are mainly the small extruded "tray" and the hemming section. There are a lot of companies not willing to do it due to the extra work needed for the milling and machining process. But we made this part only with Amada LCG-AJ fiber laser and EG4010/HG1303 press brake machines without any milling process.

With the assistance of VPSS3i Bend CAM software, we have saved up a lot of set-up time. The accuracy of the EG press brake enables us to bend the part precisely. The Bi-S helps in maintaining the correct angle, which makes the process easier and faster.

To bend the small flanges of the "tray" is a big challenge, but we managed to bend it with an extra jig added onto the stopper of the EG4010. The Amada lightweight hemming die can do the hemming so well and helps us to neglect any machining work.
