What is an Automatic Flattening Cutting Rolling And Welding Machine?The ultimate solution of air filter production

Introduction

In modern industrial manufacturing, producing high-quality air filters requires accuracy and efficiency. The Automatic Flattening Cutting Rolling And Welding Machine integrates four critical processes into one seamless operation. This innovative technology is specially designed for metal mesh processing, and the coiled metal can be transformed into finished cylindrical filters without human intervention.

Core technology decomposition

This multifunction system performs four consecutive operations.

1. Accurate flattening.

The double hardened steel rollers applies adjustable pressure (0.6 Mpa pneumatic pressure) to eliminate the deformation entering the metal mesh and realize the flatness of 0.1 mm/m.

2. Laser-guided cutting

Hydraulic blades uses an optical sensors for edge detection, and the leveled grid is cut into a programmed length (the maximum width is 650 mm) with a precision of 0.2 mm..

3. Rolling in diameter direction

Three motor-driven forming rollers (power 4.5 kW) bend and cut the web into perfect cylinder (diameter 115–380 mm) within 20 seconds.

4., automatic welding.

A 40 KVA resistance welding machine delivers 6800 amperes of current at a speed of 2-3 cycles/minute to fuse the joint, so as to ensure the joint is leak-proof.

Engineering Innovations

1. Rigid buildings

Laser-cut steel frame with shock-absorbing bracket can withstand high-speed operation while maintaining micron-scale accuracy.

2. Intelligent control system.

The 7-inch touch screen HMI can store more than 50 kinds of recipes, monitors real-time parameters (pressure/speed/temperature) and trigger automatic shutdown when misalignment is detected.

3. Aerodynamic precision

The Japanese SMC valves maintains a consistent clamping force of 0.6 Mpa, and the response time is 0.1 second.

4. Energy efficient

The power consumption of 4.5 kw main motor is 75% less than that of traditional separate equipment.

Unprecedented competitiveness

1. The integration of Furinon

Three independent machines (flattening machine, cutting machine, roller and welding machine) were eliminated, which reduced the factory area by 5.2 meters.

2. Reduce labor costs.

Automated material handling reduces manual labor from 5 operators per shift to 1 supervisor.

3. Rapid Changeover

Adjusting the cylinder diameter by handwheel mechanism takes less than 3 minutes-no tools are needed.

4. guarantee zero rework

The automatic quality control ensures that the dimensional accuracy of more than 10,000 units reaches 99.2%.
