As a common lighting product, metal table lamps not only play a lighting role, but also can play a decorative role in various occasions. They are durable, high-quality and modern, and have been widely welcomed. Many metal desk lamps are produced through OEM/ODM manufacturing. This article will reveal the OEM/ODM production process of metal desk lamps and take you a glimpse of the mystery.
First of all, the first step in the production process of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) is demand analysis and design. The customer communicates with the manufacturer to clarify the specification requirements, design concept, functional requirements and market positioning of the desk lamp. Based on these needs, the designer began to carry out the conceptual design and structural design of the desk lamp.
In the conceptual design stage, the designer transforms the customer's needs into a preliminary design plan, including the appearance shape, material, size, etc. of the desk lamp. Designers will use computer-aided design software to draw three-dimensional models or sketches, so that customers can review and confirm the design scheme.
Next, the engineering design stage begins, and the designer will further improve the structural design and circuit design of the desk lamp. They considered the stability, functionality and safety of the desk lamp, and made detailed engineering drawings and circuit drawings.
Color matching is done based on aesthetics, and once the design is confirmed, the manufacturer begins material sourcing and preparation. According to design requirements, they select suitable metal materials, such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc., and cooperate with suppliers. Manufacturers also source electronic components, light bulbs, switches and other accessories and ensure they meet relevant safety standards and quality requirements.
Subsequently, the production of the metal desk lamp entered the processing and production stage. Manufacturers use advanced processing equipment, such as CNC machine tools, stamping machines, bending machines, etc., to process metal materials into various table lamp parts. These components undergo fine processing techniques, including cutting, punching, bending, grinding, etc., to ensure their precision and quality.
After the assembly is completed, the function test and quality control of the lamp are carried out. The manufacturer conducts rigorous tests on each lamp to ensure that functions such as lighting, dimming, and switching are working properly. At the same time, quality control inspections are carried out to ensure that the lamps meet the relevant safety standards and quality requirements.
After the processing is completed, the lamp is assembled and debugged. According to engineering drawings and assembly instructions, workers assemble various parts together, install circuit boards, light bulbs, switches and so on. During the assembly process, the position and fixing method of each component must be strictly controlled to ensure the stability and functionality of the desk lamp.
Finally, the metal table lamp is packed and delivered. The manufacturer will choose appropriate packaging materials for each desk lamp, such as cartons, foam plastics, etc., to protect the safety of the desk lamp during transportation. Labels and instructions for use will be affixed on the table lamp, which is convenient for customers to use and understand the product.
Through the OEM/ODM production process, the metal desk lamp has gone through a series of links and precise craftsmanship from design to production to ensure that the quality and performance of the desk lamp meet customer requirements. The close cooperation between manufacturers, designers and suppliers provides customers with diversified and high-quality metal desk lamp products, which meet the needs of the market and preferences of consumers.
Manufacturing process of metal desk lamp
1. Material selection: First, according to the design requirements and the function of the desk lamp, select suitable metal materials, such as zinc-aluminum alloy, stainless steel, plastic, etc. These materials have good strength, corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity.
2. Cutting and forming: Cut and form the metal sheet according to the design requirements. Sheet metal can be cut to the desired shape and size using equipment such as mechanical cutting tools, laser cutters or CNC cutters.
3. Stamping and bending: Stamping and bending of metal parts to obtain the desired structure and shape. The stamping process can be realized by a stamping machine or a hydraulic press, and the bending process can be operated by a bending machine.
4. Welding and bonding: Welding and bonding different parts to form the overall structure of the desk lamp. Commonly used welding methods include argon arc welding, resistance welding and laser welding. Through welding, metal parts can be fixed and the stability and durability of the structure can be ensured.
5. Surface treatment: Surface treatment is carried out to enhance the appearance and protection performance of the table lamp. Common surface treatment methods include spraying, anodizing, electroplating, etc. Spraying can achieve various colors and effects, anodizing can increase the corrosion resistance of the metal surface, and electroplating can improve the brightness and wear resistance of the surface.
6. Assembly and commissioning: Assemble the processed and processed parts, including installing light bulbs, circuit boards, switches and power cords, etc. After the assembly is completed, perform functional testing and debugging of the desk lamp to ensure normal operation of functions such as lighting, dimming, and switching.
7. Quality control and inspection: During the production process, quality control and inspection are strictly carried out to ensure that the table lamp meets the relevant safety standards and quality requirements. This includes appearance inspection, functional testing, safety performance testing and other links to ensure the quality and reliability of the desk lamp.
8. Packaging and delivery: Finally, properly package the finished table lamp to prevent damage during transportation. Packaging usually uses materials such as cartons, foam plastics or bubble bags, and at the same time affixes relevant signs and instructions for use. After the packaging is complete, the table lamp is ready to be shipped to the customer.
Through the above process links, the metal table lamp has undergone a precise manufacturing process, which ensures the perfect combination of the quality, appearance and function of the table lamp. Different manufacturers may fine-tune and improve according to their own process flow and technical characteristics to meet market demand and customer requirements.
