Because of their high security and convenience, smart locks have begun to enter the whole family and become the smart choice for many families. However, the residual fingerprints on the smart lock panel are a headache for users. Once the fingerprints remain, the panel will be dirty. It must be cleaned regularly, and secondly, leaving your fingerprints exposed will always make people feel unsafe. In response to this situation, some smart lock manufacturers have begun to use CNC engraving technology, which not only makes the locks more beautiful and elegant but also ensures that there is no residue of fingerprints.
With the continuous development of science and technology, smart locks have also undergone different levels of innovation. In order to pursue a more refined user experience, many manufacturers have begun to use the CNC carving process. What is this process? What is its advantage? The essence of the CNC carving process is the high-speed and fine engraving process of small tools. It is the guarantee that CNC carving machined products can be completed with high quality, high efficiency, and ease. It is a complete set of engraving technology obtained by the carving process after years of scientific research and practice. This engraving process is a strong guarantee for the smooth and efficient work of the engraving machine.
CNC Process
The full name of CNC is Computer Numerical Control, which is an all-metal integrated processing technology. The metal profiles are first to cut into the prototype of the integrated body after precision machining. The keyboard shape and various subtleties are milled out. Therefore, the CNC process can be visually understood as “engraving”, and the CNC milling machine is equivalent to “carving”, and the whole piece of aluminum is “engraved”.
Advantages of Smart Locks with CNC Technology
1. Because the CNC process is “carved” from a whole piece of metal, the strength is more guaranteed. The CNC-made panels are guaranteed not to shatter, even with great external pressure.
2. Since no molten metal cooling is involved, the surface has no pores and is relatively smooth, which is more conducive to the surface treatment process.
3. The surface treatment process of the CNC process is anodizing. Through the principle of electrolysis, an aluminum oxide film is formed on the surface of the panel, which can effectively improve the surface hardness of the aluminum material.
4. For the panel of the smart lock, the combination of the CNC process and the anodizing process can improve the hardness of the panel and make the panel smoother, thereby reducing the residue of fingerprint marks.
5. The surface processed by CNC can do a variety of color effects, and can also achieve a three-dimensional effect on the product so that the texture of the metal itself can be improved.
6. The CNC can easily modify the dimensional parameters by programming.
It has strong adaptability and flexibility in parts processing. It can process parts with particularly complex contours or difficult-to-control dimensions. It can process parts that need to be processed in multiple processes after one clamping and positioning. The pulse equivalent of the numerical control device is generally 0.001mm, and the high-precision numerical control system can reach 0.1μm. The automatic fingerprint lock is produced under this process technology. The whole aluminum ingot is put into the CNC milling machine, and professional technicians set up the complete operation process of the equipment. The panel products produced in this way are stronger than molten iron in hardness. In casting products, the surface can also be ground and polished, which makes the product quality higher level, and the entire panel as small as a screw hole is also completed in such precision equipment.
The anodizing process of CNC carving process series smart locks uses aluminum alloy parts as anodes and uses the principle of electrolysis to form an aluminum oxide film on the surface of the panel. Metal oxide films change the surface state and properties, such as surface coloration, improve corrosion resistance, enhance wear resistance and hardness, and protect metal surfaces. Such a surface treatment process is like putting a gorgeous coat on the door lock panel. As long as the panel surface is not violently scratched or collided with, the product will not fade for several years, and after many processes of polishing, the appearance is very smooth and beautiful. The surface color is uniform and uniform, which makes the panel easy to clean and can effectively prevent fingerprint marks from remaining.
