Office steel filing cabinets are an important part of modern office furniture. They are durable, waterproof, moisture-proof, and efficient in storage. They are the main storage solution for documents and items and are widely used in various enterprises, institutions, and office spaces. This article will start with the manufacturing process of steel filing cabinets to show you the main production process.
1. Selection and processing of raw materials
The raw materials of office steel filing cabinets are mainly cold-rolled steel plates. These materials have strong hardness, toughness, and durability, which can ensure the structural stability of the cabinet and reduce wear and corrosion in daily use. Cold-rolled steel plates with a 0.5mm to 1.0mm thickness are usually selected. To avoid rusting the steel plate, galvanizing treatment is used to improve the anti-corrosion performance and extend the service life effectively.
2. Stamping and forming
The appearance design of office steel filing cabinets is completed by multiple stamping, cutting, and forming processes.
First, the steel plate is stamped through several molds to form the basic shape of the cabinet. This process uses CNC punching machines and laser cutting machines for precise processing to ensure that the size, angle, and shape of each component meet the design requirements. After stamping, the steel plate needs to be bent by a bending machine to ensure that the edge of the cabinet is flat and to avoid sharp corners causing harm to the user.
3. Welding and assembly
The various components of the office steel filing cabinet need to be assembled by welding or bolting. During the assembly process, spot welding or argon arc welding technology is usually used to fix the various components. Spot welding is mainly used to connect the main frame of the cabinet, while argon arc welding is often used to connect some more complex or pressure-resistant parts. For some detachable parts or complex structures, bolts are used for fastening.
4. Surface treatment and painting
All steel plates are first strictly cleaned and rust-removed, and then the surface oxides, oil stains, and other impurities are completely removed through sandblasting, pickling and other processes. After that, the surface of the steel plate is uniformly adsorbed with spray powder (usually epoxy resin powder) by an electrostatic spray gun, and then heated and cured in an oven. After the spraying is completed, the surface presents a uniform gloss and rich and varied colors.
5. Assembly and inspection
The file cabinets that have been sprayed with plastic enter the assembly workshop to install partitions, slides, drawers and other parts. After assembly, debugging is carried out to ensure that all functions of the filing cabinet are normal. The quality inspector conducts a comprehensive inspection of the assembled office steel filing cabinet, including whether the locks are switched, whether the cabinet doors are opened and closed smoothly, and whether the surface spraying is even. Qualified filing cabinets are packaged and prepared for storage.
6. Packaging and storage
The qualified filing cabinets are packaged, and the packaged filing cabinets are stored in the finished product warehouse, waiting for sale. Special attention should be paid to prevent bumps and damage during the packaging process.
With the advancement of technology and changes in market demand, the manufacturing process of office steel filing cabinets is also constantly improving and innovating to provide users with better quality and environmentally friendly office storage solutions.
