As an important auxiliary device, wheelchairs are widely used in medical treatment, rehabilitation, sports and other fields. With the advancement of science and technology and the continuous improvement of people's needs, the manufacturing technology and materials of wheelchairs are also constantly updated and developed. The application of advanced equipment such as laser tube cutting machines, laser welding machines and tube bending machines provides a more efficient, precise and environmentally friendly solution for the production of wheelchairs.
1. Cutting
On the one hand, the laser tube cutting machine uses a high-energy laser beam to accurately cut the tube, which can ensure the flatness and precision of the cutting surface, thereby improving the overall quality of the wheelchair. On the other hand, the laser tube cutting machine can cut tubes of various shapes and sizes to meet different design requirements. At the same time, it can also realize automated cutting and improve production efficiency.
After preparing the materials, the tubes need to be processed, including cutting, bending and welding steps to form the frame part of the wheelchair. According to the design drawings, use the laser tube cutting machine to accurately cut the tubes. When cutting, you need to set the cutting parameters, such as cutting speed, power, etc., to ensure the cutting quality.
After cutting, the cut surface needs to be polished to remove burrs and oxide layers to prepare for subsequent welding.
2. Assembly
Use a pipe bending machine to bend the pipe to form the curved part of the wheelchair frame. The pipe bending machine can set different bending angles and radii as needed to meet the design requirements. During the bending process, the accuracy of the bending angle and radius needs to be strictly controlled to ensure the accuracy and stability of the frame.
Assemble the cut and bent pipes to form the frame part of the wheelchair. During assembly, it is necessary to ensure that the connection of each part is firm, stable, and meets the design requirements. The frame can be welded using a laser welding machine. Laser welding has the advantages of narrow welds, high strength, and small deformation, which can improve the overall quality of the frame.
3. Detail processing
Grind and polish the welded parts of the wheelchair to remove the welds and oxide layers and improve the appearance quality of the wheelchair.
Check whether the various parts of the wheelchair are firm and stable, and make necessary adjustments and corrections. Some auxiliary devices such as armrests and backrests can be added to the wheelchair as needed to improve the comfort and safety of the user.
The various parts of the wheelchair are finally assembled to ensure that the connection of each part is firm and stable. The wheelchair is debugged and tested to check whether the wheelchair's driving stability, braking effect, etc. meet the design requirements. If problems or defects are found, they need to be corrected and adjusted in time to ensure the quality and safety of the wheelchair.
4. Application and advantages of laser welding technology in wheelchair production
The laser welding weld is narrow, strong and small in deformation, which can significantly improve the overall quality of the wheelchair. The weld surface is flat and smooth, and no additional grinding and polishing are required. Moreover, laser welding has the characteristics of high speed and high efficiency, which can greatly improve the production efficiency of wheelchairs. Laser welding can realize automated welding, reduce manual operation and reduce production costs.
Laser welding can adapt to the welding needs of pipes of various shapes and sizes, and meet the diversified requirements in wheelchair production. Laser welding can also be integrated with other processing equipment (such as laser pipe cutting machine, pipe bending machine, etc.) to form a complete production line to improve production efficiency and quality.
The heat and smoke generated during laser welding are less, and the impact on the environment is small. The energy consumption of laser welding is relatively low, which is conducive to reducing production costs and energy consumption.
5. Summary and Outlook
In the future, with the continuous development and innovation of laser technology, laser cutting and welding technology will play a more important role in wheelchair manufacturing. At the same time, it is also necessary to continuously explore and develop new materials and processes to meet people's diverse needs for wheelchairs. Through continuous technological innovation and process optimization, it is believed that the manufacturing quality and performance of wheelchairs will be further improved, bringing more convenience and comfort to people's lives.
