Sheep farm equipment parts

Production Process: Core CNC Metal Sheet Bending + Supplementary Processes

The manufacturing of sheep farm equipment parts takes precision CNC metal sheet bending as the core process, combined with targeted supplementary technologies to meet the special requirements of sheep farming environments (humidity, manure corrosion, frequent use). 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 suitable for sheep farm equipment, mainly including 304 stainless steel (1.0mm-2.5mm), hot-dip galvanized carbon steel (1.2mm-3.0mm) and galvanized alloy steel (1.5mm-2.8mm). Each batch of raw materials undergoes strict quality inspection: chemical composition analysis to confirm corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, 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, strictly matching the size requirements of different sheep farm parts (e.g., lamb isolation rails for small-sized sheep, adult sheep pen columns for large-scale farms).

2. Step 2: Pre-Bending Pretreatment - The edges of the cut blanks are deburred by mechanical polishing to eliminate sharp corners, avoiding scratches on sheep (especially lambs) and farm workers. Subsequently, the blanks are subjected to degreasing and derusting 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 enhance corrosion resistance, adapting to the humid and manure-rich environment of sheep farms.

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 sheep farm parts (e.g., the arc curvature of sheep pen rails, the right-angle bending of feeding trough brackets). The system automatically adjusts the gap between the upper and lower dies and enables angle compensation technology (optimized for thin-gauge to medium-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 parameter accuracy 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 sheep farm equipment parts. For sheep pen fencing, it bends the metal sheet into a wave-shaped or linear rail with uniform curvature; for feeding trough brackets, it completes multi-angle bending to form a stable support structure; for isolation gates, it bends the frame into a rectangular or square shape with precise right angles. During the process, the machine's real-time monitoring system dynamically tracks the bending angle and sheet deformation, maintaining angle repeatability (±0.1°) to ensure consistent performance of each part.

5. Step 5: Post-Bending Inspection & Finishing - The bent parts are removed from the machine and comprehensively inspected using a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM): verifying overall dimensional tolerance (±0.1mm-±0.3mm), bending angle accuracy and flatness (≤0.2mm/m). 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 durability and usability, we add two key supplementary processes: ① Precision Welding: We use argon arc welding to connect bent components (e.g., rail joints, bracket nodes) and accessories (e.g., hinges, locks), 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; for high-demand scenarios, we also provide powder coating (secondary anti-corrosion). The final quality inspection includes an anti-impact test (withstanding ≥150N impact without deformation) and a salt spray test (≥800 hours for galvanized products) to ensure product qualification.
