With the development of industrial manufacturing technology, especially the breakthroughs in the fields of laser cutting and laser welding, modern production methods make the manufacturing of racks more precise, fast and efficient. This article will discuss the production process of machine equipment racks from the perspective of the use of equipment such as laser plate cutting machines, laser pipe cutting machines, bending machines, pipe bending machines, laser welding machines, etc.
1. Laser cutting: the starting point of precision and automation
In the rack manufacturing process, the application of laser cutting machines can greatly improve cutting accuracy and processing efficiency. The main function of the laser cutting machine is to perform high-precision cutting of metal sheets through high-energy laser beams.
Use of laser plate cutting machine
Laser plate cutting machine is mainly used for cutting metal plates, and is suitable for various metal materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc. The main structure of the rack is mostly made of steel plate, so the laser plate cutting machine plays a vital role in the manufacturing process of the rack.
The working principle of the laser plate cutting machine is to use a high-power laser beam to irradiate the surface of the metal plate, and the metal surface is quickly heated to the melting point or boiling point. With the help of the airflow, the melted or evaporated metal is blown away, thereby forming an incision.
Because the heat-affected zone of the laser plate cutting machine is small, the cutting edge is smooth and the precision is high, so the precise size and good assembly of the rack components can be guaranteed.
Application of laser pipe cutting machine
In addition to the cutting of metal plates, the application of laser pipe cutting machine in pipe cutting is also critical. In many rack designs, pipes are used for load-bearing, support or structural connection. The laser pipe cutting machine accurately cuts metal pipes through a laser beam, and can cope with complex geometric shapes and diverse pipe sizes.
The advantage of the laser pipe cutting machine is that it can achieve high-precision pipe cutting and can automatically identify parameters such as the length, diameter and wall thickness of the pipe. Through the application of laser pipe cutting machine, the cutting quality and efficiency of pipes can be improved, and the errors of manual operation and processing waste can be reduced.
2. Bending and pipe bending machine: precision deformation process
In the process of rack manufacturing, the bending and deformation of metal sheets and pipes is an indispensable process. Especially for some parts that require specific angles or curves, the application of bending machines and pipe bending machines is crucial.
Use of bending machines
The main function of bending machines in rack manufacturing is to bend metal sheets at a fixed angle. Traditional bending machines often require manual operation and have limited bending accuracy, while modern CNC bending machines greatly improve the accuracy and efficiency of bending.
Use of pipe bending machine
Similar to bending machine, pipe bending machine is specially used for bending metal pipes. Through the CNC system, pipe bending machine can accurately control the bending angle, radius and bending direction of pipes to ensure that each pipe meets the design requirements.
Pipe bending machine can not only perform simple bending, but also realize complex three-dimensional bending to meet the structural design of some special requirements. With the development of technology, modern pipe bending machines have been able to efficiently process pipes of different materials and sizes, greatly improving the design flexibility of the frame structure.
3. Laser welding: precise and efficient connection method
As a new type of efficient welding technology, laser welding machine is increasingly used in frame manufacturing, especially under the requirements of high precision and high strength welding, the advantages of laser welding machine are more and more significant.
Working principle of laser welding machine
The laser welding machine irradiates the surface of the workpiece with a high-power laser beam, so that the metal material is quickly heated and melted locally, and then the welding parts are connected by suitable welding filler materials. Compared with traditional welding methods, laser welding machines have higher precision and smaller heat-affected areas, so they can effectively reduce deformation and stress concentration problems during welding.
Application of laser welding machine in rack
Laser welding machine can achieve high-precision and high-strength welding, especially for those parts with high welding precision requirements. For example, thin-walled parts, complex joints and high-load bearing parts of the rack often need to be welded by laser welding machine to ensure the strength and overall stability of the joints.
Another major advantage of laser welding machine is that it can realize automatic operation, reducing the unstable factors in the manual welding process. Through CNC laser welding machine, automatic, high-speed and high-quality welding operation can be achieved, which greatly improves production efficiency and welding quality.
4.Summary: Efficient and integrated modern rack manufacturing process
From laser plate cutting machine, laser pipe cutting machine to bending machine, pipe bending machine, and laser welding machine, each advanced equipment provides a more efficient, accurate and stable process guarantee for the manufacture of racks. In the future, with the further advancement of manufacturing technology, the production process of machine equipment racks will be more intelligent and automated, and will develop in a more environmentally friendly and efficient direction.
