The cabinet refers to the platform for storing kitchen utensils. It consists of five major parts, cabinet body, cabinet doors, cabinet hardware, countertops, and electrical appliances. With the popularity and demand expansion of cabinet production, a whole cabinet customization boom has been set off. More and more customers need cabinet customization services. So how to get a suitable cabinet solution? Below, I will provide you with the best two cabinet solutions to make money.

Cabinet Production Process

First of all, we need to know that cabinet production mainly includes two parts – one is cabinet body making and the other is cabinet door making. The production processes of the two are generally similar, basically including disassembly, cutting, edge banding, and drilling. But there are still several slight differences. Below I will expand in turn and explain separately.

Cabinet body making

1. The QR code will be attached to the material sent by the cabinet manufacturer, which contains the specific cabinet making information. Then the machine will scan this QR code to ensure that the subsequent processing and design are correct.

2. Let’s start cutting. The large board is usually the particle board or medium density board. And the board size is 2440mm x 1220mm or 2800mm x 1300mm. The cabinet cutting equipment used is often a CNC panel saw, which can be connected with CNC software to realize intelligent cutting process. Small cabinet manufacturers generally use sliding table saw to save cabinet making costs. Many cabinet manufacturers think that the back panels of floor cabinets is finished after cutting. That’s wrong! Material cutting is only the first step. The board will continue to be processed with other equipment.

3. The bottom plates, side plates, and braces all need to be slotted. The slotting positions of the side panels and the bottom panels are a fixed value from the edge of the panel. And the slotting equipment is generally a sliding table saw. Because the sliding table saw has fast slotting speed and can open thousands of panels a day. It is economical and enough to meet the production capacity of the factory. In addition, for better one-time processing, the slotting saw teeth has the same width as the thickness of the back plate.

4. Almost all cabinet parts need to be edge banded (except for the back panel). And due to the improved workmanship quality, all four sides are now banded. There are two main types of edge banding. One is cabinet around edge- usually 0.45mm plastic edge of the same color as the cabinet. Another is an anti-collision edge, which is 2mm plastic edge. Therefore, three sides where each panel will touch the door will be sealed with cabinet around edge. While the last side is sealed with anti-collision side.

5. Drilling is the most error-prone and most critical process. Because it involves all the connections between the various boards. Besides, drilling holes are divided into structural holes and system holes. Structural holes refer to the holes that do not need to be connected with other holes and are only found on the side panels. While system holes are the holes that each panel needs to be connected to other panels, and all panels (except the back panel) have. The system holes are mainly used to install eccentric parts, screws, tenons, etc. to connect other parts. The structural holes are mainly used to place laminate supports, guide rails, etc. The main drilling cabinet equipment are row drilling machines and CNC six-sided drilling machines.

Cabinet Door Production Process

1. There are many kinds of materials and colors for the cabinet door panels. And they are usually produced according to custom cabinet orders. The equipment mainly includes CNC panel saws and manual sliding table saws.

2. The purpose of cabinet door slotting is to install the aluminum buckle handle.

3. Generally, the materials to be banded are melamine, fireproof board, crystal board, etc. The edge to be banded is generally the same color as the door panel with 2mm thickness. Also, in order to improve the quality, it adopts aluminum edge banding. And the equipment is mainly an automatic edge banding machine.

4. The drilling hole here is a door hinge hole. In order to reduce the error rate, it often leaves to the dealer.

5. Gong grooving is for making cabinet door patterns. The processing equipment is mainly CNC machining center.

6.The steps of blistering are very simple. First, polish the cabinet door. Then spray glue and put the door panel into the blister machine. Last, carry out the blistering machine- vacuum pressing machine to process.

7.The process of baking paint is quite complicated and it is mainly made by hand. So, if you want to spray high-quality cabinet doors, you must have more experience and technology.
