Veterinary anti-kicking stick

Production Process: Core CNC Metal Sheet Bending (Detailed English Steps) + Supplementary Processes

The manufacturing of veterinary anti-kicking sticks takes precision CNC metal sheet bending as the core process, combined with targeted supplementary technologies to meet the high safety and durability requirements of veterinary equipment. The detailed steps of the metal sheet bending process are as follows:

1. Step 1: Raw Material Selection & Pre-Inspection - We select high-performance metal sheets tailored for veterinary equipment, mainly including 304 stainless steel (1.2mm-2.5mm), 316L stainless steel (1.8mm-2.5mm) and hot-dip galvanized carbon steel (1.5mm-3.0mm). Each batch of raw materials undergoes strict quality inspection: chemical composition analysis to confirm material purity and corrosion resistance, thickness uniformity test (tolerance ±0.05mm) and surface defect detection (no rust, cracks, burrs or impurities). Qualified sheets are cut into preliminary blanks using high-precision laser cutting machines, which strictly match the size requirements of different anti-kicking stick models (customized for small livestock like sheep and large livestock like cattle).

2. Step 2: Pre-Bending Pretreatment - The edges of the cut blanks are deburred by mechanical polishing to eliminate sharp corners, avoiding scratches on veterinary staff and livestock during use. Subsequently, the blanks are subjected to degreasing and cleaning processes to remove surface oil stains, dust and oxide layers—this step is critical to improving bending precision and ensuring the adhesion of subsequent surface treatments. For stainless steel blanks, an additional passivation process is performed to form a protective oxide film on the surface, enhancing corrosion resistance and adapting to the frequent disinfection needs of veterinary equipment.

3. Step 3: CNC Bending Parameter Setting & Positioning - The pretreated blanks are firmly clamped on the workbench of our 35-400 tons CNC bending machines. Our technicians input customized parameters (bending angle, bending radius, number of bending stations and sheet thickness) into the intelligent control system according to the structural design of the anti-kicking stick (e.g., the arc curvature of the blocking part and the angle of the handle connection). The system automatically adjusts the gap between the upper and lower dies and enables angle compensation technology (optimized for thin-gauge metal sheets) to ensure the target bending precision (±0.5°). Before mass production, a trial bending is conducted on a sample blank to verify the accuracy of parameters and avoid batch defects.

4. Step 4: Precision Bending & Structure Formation - The CNC bending machine performs step-by-step bending to shape the core structure of the veterinary anti-kicking stick. First, it bends the metal sheet into an arc-shaped blocking part (the core anti-kicking component) with precise curvature to fit the body contours of livestock; then, it completes the bending of the handle connection part and the fixed bracket. During the entire process, the machine's real-time monitoring system dynamically tracks the bending angle and sheet deformation, making timely parameter adjustments to maintain angle repeatability (±0.1°), thus ensuring consistent anti-kicking performance of each product.

5. Step 5: Post-Bending Inspection & Finishing - The bent parts are removed from the machine and comprehensively inspected using a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). Parts that do not meet the standards are reworked or re-bent. After inspection, a second deburring process is carried out to ensure all edges are smooth, and the parts are cleaned again to prepare for subsequent supplementary processes.

Supplementary Processes: To enhance product performance and usability, we add two key supplementary processes: ① Precision Welding: We use argon arc welding to connect the bent main body with non-slip handles (rubber or metal) and fixed components, ensuring firm weld seams and no oxidation. ② Surface Finishing: For stainless steel products, mechanical polishing (Ra≤0.8μm) is performed to improve surface smoothness; for carbon steel products, hot-dip galvanizing (coating thickness ≥65μm) is applied to enhance corrosion resistance; 316L stainless steel products can also be optionally electropolished for higher disinfection resistance. The final quality inspection includes an anti-impact test (withstanding ≥200N impact without deformation) and a surface adhesion test to ensure product qualification.
