Technological Innovation Empowers Sheet Metal Customization: Xiamen Goldcattle Sets a New Benchmark for Intelligent Manu

In the wave of the upgrade of China’s sheet metal industry, Xiamen Goldcattle, with its innovative service model of the “Technical Expert Assistance Program for Enterprises”, has set a new example of intelligent transformation for the precision sheet metal processing industry. As a technology – based enterprise that has been deeply engaged in the sheet metal field for many years, the company has achieved a leap – forward development from traditional processing to high – end customized services by integrating the resources of model workers and craftsmen with the digital production system.

1. The Requirement Diagnosis Stage
   Relying on an industry expert team, it adopts a dual – track mechanism of “requirement list – resource matching” to provide customers with six major categories of professional consultations, such as the health assessment of electrical equipment and the capacity planning of new energy. In view of the characteristics of precision sheet metal processing, a multi – station compound processing energy consumption optimization model has been specially developed, helping customers reduce energy costs by more than 30%.
2. The Process Design Stage
   Based on a parametric database constructed from 120,000 sets of historical processing data, the optimal process plan is automatically generated in combination with AI algorithms. For materials such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy with a thickness of 0.5 – 5mm, the system can accurately calculate the bending compensation coefficient to ensure a forming accuracy of ±0.02mm.
3. The Production and Delivery Stage
   Through a double – station turnover conveyor line and an AGV intelligent handling system, mixed – model production of multiple models is realized. Measured data shows that the production line change – over time is compressed to 15 minutes, and the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is increased to 89%. Coupled with an independently developed production progress visualization platform, customers can monitor the entire processing process in real – time.

1. Multi – axis Linkage Composite Machining Center
   The independently developed integrated stamping and cutting device reduces the traditional five – step process to two steps, increasing the daily output of a single device by 40%. For the processing of new energy vehicle battery cases, the punching force fluctuation of 0.8 – 3mm aluminum alloy sheets is controlled within ±5%, significantly reducing workpiece springback deformation.
2. Intelligent Laser Cutting System
   By introducing fiber laser cutting equipment equipped with visual compensation technology, burr – free cutting of 0.1mm thin plates can be completed. Through optimizing the cutting path algorithm, the material utilization rate of 5052 aluminum plates has been increased from 78% to 89%, saving more than one million yuan in raw material costs annually.
3. Environment – friendly Surface Treatment Process
   The adoption of chromium – free passivation technology reduces the surface treatment cost of galvanized sheets by 30% and extends the salt – spray test compliance time to 96 hours. Coupled with the dry cutting process, zero – emission of VOCs in the production process is achieved, and it has won the Green Manufacturing Demonstration Certification from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

1. Online Intelligent Quotation System
   After customers upload a 3D model, the system automatically analyzes the drawing features and generates an accurate quotation sheet including processing technology, man – hour cost, and delivery cycle within 3 minutes, with an efficiency 15 times higher than the traditional mode.
2. Virtual Processing Verification Module
   Based on the digital twin environment constructed by ANSYS Twin Builder, the stress distribution during the sheet metal forming process can be simulated, and potential defects can be predicted. After being applied by a military – industrial enterprise, the first – piece qualification rate has increased from 87% to 97.3%.
3. Mobile – end Collaboration Platform
   Through a WeChat mini – program, real – time push of order status, online confirmation of process parameters, and one – click download of quality reports are realized. Customer feedback shows that communication efficiency has increased by 70%, and the response time to project changes has been shortened to within 30 minutes.

1. Laser – Stamping Composite Processing System
   Integrating fiber laser cutting and servo stamping technologies to achieve one – stop processing of metal sheets from blanking to forming. Test data shows that the production cycle of air – conditioner sheet metal parts can be shortened by 45%, and energy consumption can be reduced by 32%.
2. AI Vision Inspection Technology
   Deploying a defect recognition system based on deep learning, it can complete the 3D topography inspection of complex curved surfaces within 0.5 seconds with an accuracy of ±0.05mm. This technology has been applied to the production of energy – storage battery boxes, reducing waste losses by more than 2 million yuan annually.
3. Low – carbon Manufacturing Process Innovation
   Developing a digital – twin – based energy management system to dynamically optimize equipment operation parameters, reducing the energy consumption per unit product by 18%. Coupled with green supply chain management, the recycling rate of scrap is over 95%.
