This article is going to talk about the production process of cam locks. Let's see it as follows.
The factory of Topper cam locks has a consistent operation process, including die casting, punch, lathe, injection molding, grinding, drilling, polishing, electroplating, paint baking and assembly. They are all completed in the factory. This ensures the stability of quality and the pursuit of precision of Topper's lock products so that we can trace the origin of each batch of locks.
Tools/Raw Materials
Drilling machines, die-casting machines, electroplating machines
Zinc alloy, stainless steel
Methods/Steps
1. Die casting (raw material: zinc alloy, Australia 3# zinc)
Main parts of the cam lock core, the die casting of lock shells
2. Deburring and polishing (the lock core and lock shell casting are mold bases and the surface is not clean). The first step is deburring (the factory is now fully automated mechanical deburring). After the burrs are modified in polishing so that the cam lock is more delicate and smooth. (Many domestic factories do not do this step, so the cam lock looks rough).
3. Surface treatment is also called electroplating. The general electroplating types are chrome, nickel, zinc and electric black. Large size cam locks with spray are pitted black, black and gray. The electroplating types are hang plating, roll plating, continuous plating and brush plating, etc.
4. Stamping (punch, lathe) mainly includes row/head, tongue, key, terminal foot, nut, etc.
5. Injection molding is mainly plastic parts such as terminal foot and key rubber sets.
6. CNC machining will be used for high precision and high technical content of products (internal screw teeth, management locks of all miscellaneous letters).
7. Assembly is the last process of the cam lock. Our Topper factory staff assembly is to go through training. After working, all should be operated in strict accordance with the installation and assembly demonstration book. Each process needs to be checked by quality personnel so that each product is all qualified before packaging.
