Panels Processing and Installment

Ways of processing panels are easy. With processing timber or metal tools we can finish all, including cutting, sawing, milling, slotting, side folding and curving. We can make a piece of panel into one of various shapes, e.g. curve, reverse curve, curve corner and sharp curve, according to different design demand, which can’t be paralleled by other decorating materials.

Slotting

We attach great importance to making sure the processed U type slot is 0.2-0.4mm away from the polyethylene substrate
We suggest 110 as the best slot angle.
●(1)Milling machine and trimmer
Use a modified drill as showed in the following left chart.
Number of teeth: 2-4
Running speed: 20,000-30,000rpm
Feed speed: 3-5m/minute
Material: Hard alloy
●(2)When processing large quantity of U type slots, we suggest using round saw and belt saw. A picture of that kind of slotter is listed in the following:
●material: hard alloy sheet
●outer diameter: 305mm
●number of teeth : 24
●running speed : 3,000-5,000rpm
●feed speed: 5m/minute

Bending with plate folder

When using plate folder to bend, we should make sure the radius is suitable for the molds. The required minimum inner radius is listed in the following chart:

Bending with 3-roller bender

Compared with plate folder, 3-roll panel bender is more favorable for bending panels with big inner diameter. And before bending, we should ensure that the panels could be bended with hands after bending is finished.

Riveting

Through countersinking rivet, we can achieve easy jointing from one direction.

Bolting

From the perspective of deformation limit, we conclude that Formula e≥2D is the best calculation method between aperture (D) and the distance from hole center to panel end (e).
