Customer Profile
A professional metal chair frame manufacturer in South Korea, producing office chairs and leisure metal-framed seating. They process carbon steel round tubes for chair frames.
Customer’s Challenge & Requirement
The customer’s chair frame design requires two different bending radii on one single tube part, and the large-radius bends need push bending function.
- Their old tube bender only supports fixed single-radius rotary draw bending. They must split the part into two separate machining steps and change moulds manually, leading to long changeover time.
- Manual mould switching causes inconsistent bending radius, poor surface smoothness on large arc bends, and unstable repeat accuracy for mass production.
- The chair frame needs smooth continuous curves. Without push bending, the tube will deform and the arc will be uneven, affecting welding and final assembly.
- Frequent manual adjustment increases scrap rate and limits production output.
Solution from JIANGSU CLAYTON MACHINERY GROUP
We recommended the DW38CNC4A2S 4-axis fully automatic CNC tube bender, equipped with push bending function and double stack tooling.
- Double stack mould design supports two different bending radii in one program. No manual die change required for the two-radius chair frame parts.
- Built-in servo push bending function: the machine synchronously pushes the tube during bending, achieving smooth large-radius curved arcs, maintaining tube roundness and eliminating surface wrinkles or flattening.
- CNC servo control system can store multiple chair frame bending programs. Operators can call different product programs with one click for quick model switching.
- High-precision angle control ±0.1°, stable repeatability for batch production of chair steel tubes.
Benefits Achieved
- Eliminated manual die change for two-radius bending, cutting changeover time by over 70%.
- Push bending delivers smooth and uniform large-radius arcs, tube cross-section keeps round, no collapse or wrinkling. The chair frame welding fit is greatly improved.
- Consistent bending accuracy across all batches, scrap rate reduced significantly.
- One machine completes all bends for the chair frame in one clamping, raising production efficiency and reducing labor cost.
- Flexible for new chair model development, easy to program new bending parameters.
