Application of complex sheet-metal (CSM) technology for sleeper bus manufacturing in Vietnam

Abstract

The selection of one piece or in module assembly technology for the front or the rear face of sleeper bus will cause impact on productivity, prices, quality… of automobiles, especially sleeper buses. The paper introduces the CSM technology application to localize front and rear face-parts of sleeper buses, contributing to the amelioration of technology, productivity, and cheapening prices of automobile parts.
This application helps to produce complex, highly attractive form parts which are durable, easy for assembly, repair and maintenance. Therefore, it is usually used for producing automobile exterior parts which require a complex form and an aesthetic shape. The machinery, equipment and layout are designed and installed by Thaco.
