Small Duct Five-Wire Solution

01
Project Background

The background of the small duct five-wire project stems from the growing demand for improved precision and production efficiency in modern building ventilation systems. Traditional duct processing methods suffer from high human error, low productivity, and significant material waste, making it difficult to meet the increasing market demands. As the sheet metal processing industry moves toward automation and intelligence, CNC-based duct production lines have become an industry trend. By integrating automated cutting, punching, bending, and seaming processes, these systems enable high-precision and high-efficiency duct fabrication.

Currently, there is a particularly strong demand for small duct processing equipment, which must balance precision with compactness while accommodating diverse duct specifications. National policies promoting building energy efficiency and the implementation of green building standards have further driven the ventilation industry toward higher efficiency and standardization, creating a vast market opportunity for small duct five-wire (FATEK SC3) equipment.

The implementation of this project will address the market gap for compact, high-precision duct processing equipment. By optimizing mechanical design and intelligent control systems, the project aims to achieve miniaturization and high efficiency, helping customers reduce production costs, improve processing quality, and enhance market competitiveness.
