Models
Roll Form Press Machine
Our high-precision Roll Form Press Machine is designed to create radiator panels of variable lengths with exceptional accuracy. Using advanced servo-driven rollers and hydraulic pressing technology, the machine efficiently forms oil flutes and panel profiles while ensuring optimal material strength. The system supports multiple panel widths (230mm, 375mm, and 520mm) and offers customizable die sets for tailored production needs.
Key Benefits:
- High-Speed, Consistent Panel Forming: Automated feeding and pressing ensure uniform profiles.
- Versatile Configurations: Supports multiple panel widths and custom profiles.
- Optimized Strength & Durability: Fluted oil channels enhance panel integrity.
Automated Decoiler Unit
The Automated Decoiler Unit provides a continuous, precisely controlled supply of steel for the roll forming process. Featuring hydraulic mandrel expansion and an ultrasonic loop control system, the decoiler seamlessly feeds material into the roll former, minimizing interruptions and optimizing efficiency.
Key Benefits:
- Smooth & Continuous Operation: Automatic sensing and adjustment prevent material slack.
- High-Capacity Handling: Supports coils up to 4,500 kg for extended production runs.
- Integrated Safety Features: Hydraulic expansion ensures secure coil positioning.
Spot Welding for Positioning
Our automated spot welding process precisely aligns and secures radiator panel assemblies for further processing. This critical step ensures accurate positioning before multi-spot welding, providing a solid foundation for high-quality welds.
Multi-Spot Welding
Designed for efficiency and durability, our multi-spot welding system creates strong, evenly distributed welds along the radiator panels. Utilizing multiple welding guns, the process ensures uniform bonding, optimizing structural integrity while enhancing production speed.
Seam Welding (Longitudinal & Traverse)
- Longitudinal Seam Welding: Our advanced dual-seam welding technology provides high-strength, continuous welds along the length of radiator panels. Copper welding wheels ensure precision and consistency, with internal cooling mechanisms to prevent oxidation.
- Traverse Seam Welding: This automated process seamlessly joins the panel edges at the header pipe location. The adjustable welding system adapts to panel profiles, ensuring a high-quality finish without compromising material integrity.
TIG Welding Option for Traverse Shoulder Joints
For customers preferring an alternative to traditional seam welding, our TIG welding option delivers precise, high-quality welds along the panel shoulders. This method minimizes material distortion and eliminates seam overlap marks, improving the overall aesthetics and longevity of the panels.
Panel Trimming (Long & Short Side)
- Longitudinal Panel Trimming: Ensuring uniform edges, our trimming system removes excess material along the long sides of the panel, resulting in consistent dimensions and a clean finish.
- Traverse Trim Press (Short Side): This optional feature trims the ends of panels with high precision, optimizing fit and finish for the final radiator assembly.
Our fully automated welding and trimming solutions are designed to enhance precision, efficiency, and durability in radiator production, ensuring superior quality with minimal manual intervention.
Robotic Panel Stacking for Fixture Assembly
Our advanced robotic panel stacking system ensures precise and efficient organization of radiator panels into fixture assemblies. As panels complete the manufacturing process, a robotic system lifts and positions them into a designated staging fixture, optimizing alignment for downstream welding operations. This automation minimizes manual handling, improves consistency, and enhances production efficiency.
Fixture Assembly for Robotic Welding
Once stacked, the fixture assembly can be seamlessly transported to a robotic welding station, where the panels are accurately positioned for welding to external header pipes. The fixture maintains precise alignment, ensuring optimal weld penetration and structural integrity while reducing variability in the assembly process.
Seamless Integration with Robotic Welding
By integrating robotic panel stacking with automated welding fixtures, manufacturers benefit from:
- Enhanced Precision: Accurate panel placement minimizes misalignment and rework.
- Increased Efficiency: Automated stacking reduces cycle times and manual intervention.
- Consistent Quality: Robotic welding delivers uniform, high-strength welds for superior radiator performance.
This intelligent automation solution streamlines the transition from panel production to final assembly, ensuring a fully optimized and high-quality manufacturing process.
