Each mechanical arm is driven by pneumatics, with an adjustable gripping force (50–500N) and a positioning accuracy of ±0.2mm.

20–25 Sets/Hour

IBC ton barrel frame assembly line

As the core assembly link of the production line, it adopts a roller conveyor design, breaking down the frame assembly into multiple stations (such as mesh splicing, lock installation, chassis connection, etc.), with each station equipped with special tooling fixtures and auxiliary equipment. The frames pass through each station in sequence on the assembly line, completing the assembly from individual components to a complete frame. The speed of the assembly line is adjustable (0.5–1m/min), and it can assemble 20–25 sets of frames per hour. Its advantages lie in realizing modular assembly, where each station focuses on a single process, improving assembly accuracy and efficiency. Moreover, it is equipped with a station fault alarm system. When a problem occurs at a certain station, the assembly line automatically pauses to prevent unqualified products from flowing into the next link.

100% Accuracy

Automatic Frame Sub-station Machine

It is used to divert the assembled frames according to the needs of subsequent processes. For example, some frames are sent to the inner liner framing station, and some are sent to the inspection station. The equipment identifies the specifications and status of the frames through photoelectric sensors, and then the servo motor-driven diversion mechanism guides the frames to different conveying channels (3–5 diversion channels can be set), with a diversion speed of 30–35 sets per hour. Its advantages are that the diversion accuracy reaches 100%, avoiding the problems of wrong division and mixed division during manual diversion; and it can flexibly adjust the diversion priority according to the production capacity of the production line. When a subsequent station is busy, it automatically guides the frames to the idle station to balance the load of each process.

8–10 Min Cool

Inner liner shaping and cooling line

Its advantages lie in good shaping effect, with the inner liner's dimensional error ≤±1%, and high cooling efficiency. It only takes 8–10 minutes for the inner liner to cool down from the forming temperature (about 180°C) to room temperature, which significantly shortens the inner liner forming cycle. At the same time, there are no scratches during the cooling process, ensuring the appearance quality of the inner liner.

99.9% Quality Rate
