The use of advanced equipment such as laser tube cutting machines, laser plate cutting machines, tube bending machines and laser welding machines has greatly improved production efficiency and product quality. This article will combine the practical application of these equipment to introduce the production process of metal folding beds in detail.
1. Design and production requirements of metal folding beds
The process of making metal folding beds involves multiple links, from cutting and forming of raw materials to final welding and assembly, each link requires precise technology and advanced equipment support.
2. Application of laser tube cutting machine and laser plate cutting machine in metal folding bed
2.1 Application of laser tube cutting machine
As an efficient and precise cutting equipment, laser tube cutting machine can accurately cut metal tubes of different sizes and materials. Compared with traditional cutting methods, laser tube cutting machine has significant advantages.
High-precision cutting: Laser tube cutting machine uses laser beam for cutting, and there is no mechanical contact during the cutting process, which avoids deformation and damage of materials.
Diverse cutting shapes: Laser tube cutting machine can realize complex curve cutting to meet the diverse requirements of tube shapes in design. For some folding bed designs with special structural requirements, laser tube cutting machine can easily cope with it.
Automated production: Laser tube cutting machine is usually equipped with an automated feeding system, which saves manual operation time, and can be mass-produced to ensure production efficiency.
2.2 Application of laser plate cutting machine
Laser plate cutting machine is a key equipment for cutting metal plates. It can accurately cut the contour of the bed surface and various holes to meet the design requirements of different styles and functions.
Efficient and precise: The laser plate cutter can accurately cut metal plates of varying thicknesses, and there is almost no heat-affected zone during the cutting process, avoiding local deformation or hardening of the material.
Processing of complex graphics: The laser plate cutter can easily cut complex graphics and small holes. For some bed designs that require engraving or punching, the laser plate cutter can provide higher design freedom.
Save materials: Since the incision of laser cutting is very narrow, it is usually much finer than traditional cutting methods, which reduces material waste and reduces production costs.
2.3 Collaborative work of laser tube cutting machine and laser plate cutting machine
In the production process of metal folding beds, laser tube cutting machines and laser plate cutting machines usually work in parallel. These two devices are responsible for cutting the bed frame and bed surface materials respectively, and their combined use can greatly improve production efficiency.
During the production process, the laser tube cutting machine is responsible for cutting the tube into the required length and shape, and the laser plate cutting machine is responsible for cutting the metal sheet into the specifications and structure of the bed surface.
The efficient cooperation of the two devices makes the production process of the metal folding bed smoother.
3. Application of pipe bending machine in metal folding bed
The pipe bending machine is used to bend metal pipes to meet the structural design requirements of the folding bed.
Compared with the traditional manual pipe bending method, the pipe bending machine can achieve high-precision and high-efficiency bending processing, which is especially suitable for the production of a large number of standardized metal folding beds.
3.1 Working principle of pipe bending machine
The pipe bending machine usually adopts roller bending or push bending to bend the metal pipe into the required angle through mechanical force.
The key to the pipe bending machine is to control the bending angle and bending radius to ensure that each pipe meets the design requirements.
3.2 Advantages of pipe bending machine
High-precision control: Modern pipe bending machines are equipped with advanced CNC systems, which can accurately control the bending angle, radius and shape of the pipe to ensure that the bending quality of each pipe meets the standard.
Efficient production: The pipe bending machine can complete multiple bending actions at one time, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.
Space saving: The working principle and structure of the pipe bending machine are relatively simple, occupying less space, and suitable for production workshops of various sizes.
3.3 Application scenarios of pipe bending machines
In the production of metal folding beds, pipe bending machines are mainly used in the production of bed frames, especially the bending parts of bed frames.
