Manufacturing Process of Bending Machines
Release time:2026-03-24
I. Preliminary Design and Material Preparation
- Scheme Design : Complete the design of the overall machine structure, hydraulics, electrical systems, and CNC system based on tonnage, precision, and control type (electro-hydraulic, torsion-bar, or CNC), and determine the tolerances and manufacturing processes for critical components.
- Material Selection The frame, slide block, and worktable are fabricated from high-strength steel plates such as Q345B and 45# steel, ensuring excellent rigidity and resistance to deformation.
- Raw Material Inspection : Steel plates are received into inventory for physicochemical testing and non-destructive examination, followed by pre-treatment for rust removal and leveling.
II. Precision Manufacturing of Structural Components (Core Processes)
- Cutting and Rough Machining
- CNC flame/laser cutting for blanking, and machining of weld bevels and datum surfaces.
- Assembly and Welding Quality Control
- Gas-shielded welding and robotic automatic welding are employed, with beveling and mortise-and-tenon joint assembly at critical locations to ensure adequate penetration and structural strength.
- Ultrasonic testing of welds to eliminate cracks, porosity, and slag inclusions.
- Stress relief (aging)
- Post-weld vibration stress relief, annealing, or normalizing is performed to completely eliminate residual stresses and prevent deformation during service.
- Precision Machining
- Large floor-mounted boring-milling and gantry milling machines undergo one-time, precision finishing of the frame, slide blocks, and worktable as a whole, ensuring geometric tolerances and fit accuracy.
III. Machining and Assembly of Core Components
- Hydraulic system : Precision machining of the main hydraulic cylinder, valve manifold, and pump station → cleaning → assembly → pressure-withstand test at 1.5 times the rated pressure.
- Synchronization mechanism : Electro-hydraulic servo/torsion-bar synchronous mechanism—grinding and final assembly, with control of synchronous error ≤0.02–0.05 mm.
- Mold : Forging of tool steel → CNC machining → Quenching and tempering → Precision grinding, ensuring hardness and dimensional accuracy.
- Rear stop : Servo motor, ball screw, and linear guide assembly ensure positioning accuracy.
IV. Final Assembly and System Integration
- Level the machine frame (horizontal deviation ≤ 0.02 mm/m) → lift and install the slide block → perform lapping of the guide rails → install the hydraulic cylinder, synchronization mechanism, worktable, and compensation device.
- Hydraulic pipeline connection, venting, and pressure maintenance; electrical and CNC system wiring, terminal connection, and commissioning.
V. System Commissioning and Quality Acceptance
- No-load commissioning : Inspect slider motion, synchronization, back gauge positioning, and CNC system functions.
- Load testing : Perform trial folding at the rated tonnage to verify the bending angle, straightness, and repeat positioning accuracy.
- Factory Inspection : Comprehensive performance testing, visual and safety inspections; upon passing, painting, packaging, and shipment follow.

Working Principle of Electric Welding Machines
The core function of an electric welding machine is to achieve a strong, durable bond between metals, with its operating principle fundamentally based on the conversion of electrical energy into thermal energy. By leveraging the coordinated operation of its internal core components, the machine converts mains electricity into the energy required for welding and ultimately fuses the metal through the heat generated by the electric arc, thereby completing the joint. The key components include step-down transformers in conventional models, inverters in high-frequency models, welding electrodes, and control circuits for stable process regulation. These components work in a division of labor to ensure that the welding process proceeds in an orderly and controlled manner.

What is nondestructive testing? What are the various NDT methods?
Nondestructive testing (NDT) refers to a quality-control technique that, without compromising the structural integrity, service performance, or internal microstructure of the test object, employs physical or chemical methods to perform qualitative, locational, and quantitative inspections for surface and subsurface defects—such as cracks, porosity, slag inclusions, lack of penetration, and looseness—in materials, components, and welded structures.

Core Principles and Procedures of Fire-Resistance Testing
This is a standardized, controlled test procedure conducted in a laboratory furnace, following nationally or internationally harmonized time–temperature exposure curves (such as GB/T 9978 and ISO 834), to subject building components, fire-protection materials, structural elements, fire-stopping assemblies, equipment enclosures, and similar items to simulated real-fire exposure conditions. Under specified loading, the test continuously monitors three critical performance indicators—load-carrying capacity, structural integrity, and thermal insulation—and defines the fire-resistance rating as the duration from the onset of fire exposure until the first failure of any one of these indicators, thereby providing a standardized, repeatable, and quantifiable method for scientifically assessing the fire-safety performance of materials and components.
