The side beams of a vehicle are important load-bearing components of the vehicle frame, and they often need to be designed as straight sections or variable sections according to the structure of the vehicle model. This poses different requirements for the forming machines.
Straight-section side beams:
The process is relatively stable;
The pass arrangement is regular, and the error is controllable;
They are suitable for long-term production of large quantities and single vehicle models.
Variable-section side beams:
The process is more difficult because the width and height keep changing;
The forming machine needs to have the function of automatic expansion and reconfiguration of molds, otherwise frequent mold changes will seriously slow down production;
The mold accuracy must be high, otherwise wrinkles or cracks are likely to occur in the transition section.
What should the customers pay the most attention to?
Whether the equipment supports quick switching between straight and variable sections;
How to ensure the straightness and dimensional consistency of the transition section during the forming process;
Whether the modular molds are convenient for maintenance.
