Introduction of Equipment

• Hydraulic bender

The hydraulic bending machine comprises a bracket, a worktable and a clamping plate, the worktable is placed on the bracket, the worktable is composed of a base and a pressure plate, and the base is connected with the clamping plate through a hinge, the base is composed of a seat shell, a coil and a cover plate, and the coil. It is placed in the recess of the seat shell, and the top of the recess is covered with a cover plate. When in use, the coil is energized by the wire, and after the power is applied, the platen is attracted to the platen, thereby clamping the plate between the platen and the base. Thanks to the electromagnetic clamping, the pressure plate can be made into a variety of workpiece requirements, and the workpiece with the side walls can be processed.

• Pendulum scissors

Pendulum shears are hydraulic shears, which rely on the rotation of the tool holder to achieve the shearing process. Compared with ordinary shears, swing shears mostly adopt inclined edge shearing, which is widely used because of its simple structure, low failure rate, high shearing efficiency and no bowing, warping and distortion of the sheared sheet. During the shearing process, the back angle and clearance of the oscillating shear will change with the rotary motion of the tool holder. The machine is an all-steel welding mechanism, hydraulically driven, vibration to eliminate stress, high machine strength and good rigidity. The hydraulic pendulum shearing machine uses a main cylinder (fixed to the wall plate) for downward shearing movement and a nitrogen cylinder return stroke, thus simplifying the hydraulic system and making the operation more stable. The upper tool holder of the pendulum shearing machine oscillates around a fixed axis during the shearing process. Through the action of the lever, the fulcrum has a small force, which can improve the life of the cutting edge and the life of the machine. The structure of the whole machine is compact and can be stepless. Adjust the stroke amount of the upper tool holder, greatly improving work efficiency. Pendulum scissors generally consists of a frame, a pressing mechanism, a blade gap adjusting device, a tool holder, a hydraulic system and the like.

• Ironworkers

The Ironworkers and shearing machine is a kind of machine tool that combines various functions such as metal shearing, punching, shearing and bending. It has the advantages of simple operation, low energy consumption and low maintenance cost. It is a modern manufacturing industry (such as Metallurgy, bridge, communications, electric power, military and other industries) metal processing equipment. The Ironworkers and shearing machine is divided into two types: hydraulic Ironworkers and shearing machine and mechanical Ironworkers and shearing machine.

• Plate Rolls

Plate rollers are designed to quickly and effectively convert flat metal into cylindrical or radius components. The three-roll variable axle plate rollers are more accurate, more efficient, safer and faster than any other three-roll bending machine, because they are easy to operate and therefore less dependent on the operator's ability. They are suitable for plate bending. Unlike the conventional cylinder, the lower roller moves horizontally to the left and to the right, and the upper roller moves up and down. Similar to a four-roll machine, the material is loaded parallel to the floor rather than at an angle with the other three rollers.

• Profile Rolls

The main working components and tools on the mill that produce continuous plastic deformation of the metal. The roll is mainly composed of a roll body, a roll neck and a shaft head. The roll body is the middle part of the roll that actually participates in the rolling of the metal. It has a smooth cylindrical or grooved surface. The roll neck is mounted in the bearing and the rolling force is transmitted to the frame through the bearing housing and the pressing device. The transmission end shaft head is connected to the gear base through the connecting shaft, and transmits the rotational torque of the motor to the roller. The rolls can be arranged in the form of two rolls, three rolls, four rolls or multiple rolls in the rolling mill stand.

• Horizontal Band Saws

Sawing sets cover all products from oblique band saws to semi-automatic and fully automatic band saws. High reliability and precision are essential components of all our saws. Our fully automated bandsaw band is very suitable for cutting the entire material package. The sawing machine with a ring-shaped endless band saw blade is used as a saw for winding a sawing machine on a two-axis continuous linear motion. Mainly consists of bed body, saw wheel, upper saw wheel lifting and lowering device, band saw blade tensioning device, saw blade guiding device, work table, guide plate and so on. The bed is made of cast iron or steel plate.
