Chassis frame welding process with magnetic grippers

In recent years, automotive manufacturers have attached great importance to welding automation, the development of robotics, and dexterous intelligent equipment. Especially in chassis frame welding, it requires more accuracy.  HVR magnetic grippers will give you the answer.How to improve efficiency with magnetic grippers?

What is the chassis frame?

The chassis frame is the substrate of the micro-car and is part of the chassis of the vehicle. It is made of steel to build a platform to mount the engine, seat, and various components, assemblies, and load carriages, thus forming the vehicle’s overall shape.

The current welding method adopted for the chassis frame is:

At the first stage in the process, The base plate is fixed by the chassis frame welding device.

The second step involves the base plate being welded by staff holding welding clamps and grasping the required position. Due to the width of the base plate, welding is divided into 2 parts, single side welding requires one staff, but double side welding needs two teams. They need more workers to weld, resulting in higher labor costs. And because of the size of the base plate, the welding clamp arm is too long, and the welding joints are often off and overlapping, resulting in poor welding quality. Above all, how to reduce the labor costs and how to improve the welding quality is the problems.

Robots with HVR magnetic grippers move smoothly, do long and repetitive work, and position accurately. They can replaces repetitive, monotonous, and heavy manual labor. On the one hand, they improve working conditions, product quality, and productivity. On the other hand, they reduce material consumption.

High production efficiency: The automatic loading and unloading robot replaces manual operation and controls the production tempo well, avoiding the impact on the production tempo due to manual factors and significantly improving production efficiency.

Improved product quality: The welding robot trajectory accuracy is ±0.1mm, repeated with the same action. When the welding bias is more significant than the radius of the welding wire, there is a risk of poor welding. HVR grippers can deliver the workpiece to the welding bed accurately. They significantly improved the product quality and reduced material waste.

Safer working conditions: They will keep working in the event of a power failure. There is no need to worry that the workpiece will fall.

With the development of the automotive industry, magnetic grippers will undoubtedly help the welding process a lot. Come and try HVR magnetic grippers! Contact us now!
