As snack storage baskets evolve from "simple containers" to "home decor items", the market demands increasingly stringent standards for their "diverse shapes, rounded edges, load-bearing durability". In the production chain of iron snack storage baskets, the ability to efficiently and accurately transform wire into formed frames directly determines product competitiveness. The 2D frame bending and butt welding integrated machine, with its robust performance parameters and flexible production capabilities, serves as the core link between raw materials and high-quality storage baskets, reconciling "rapid mass production" with "exquisite shaping".

Efficient Mass Production: Speed to Support Large-Scale Demand
Snack storage baskets have scattered yet substantial market demands—home living rooms for classified storage, office desks for organization, and supermarkets for display—all requiring quick restocks of various specifications. The 2D frame bending and butt welding integrated machine provides a solid foundation for large-scale production with a speed of 8-10 pieces per minute (based on 200*200 square frames). This efficiency stems from the precise collaboration of its entire power system.
Its core power comes from a 7.3kW domestic Inovance servo motor set:
- A 3.8kW wire-feeding motor drives wires at a stable speed of up to 25m/min.
- A 1.5kW bending motor, paired with a maximum bending speed of 100 rpm, achieves flexible rotation within ±180°.
- Complemented by a 1.0kW cutting motor and a 1.0kW servo lifting motor, the entire process—feeding, straightening, bending, cutting, and welding—is fully automated.
Compared to traditional equipment requiring manual intervention for straightening and alignment, this system reduces idle time by 60%, ensuring stable delivery even for daily orders of thousands of units.
Crucially, efficiency does not come at the cost of stability. The 1100KG machine, with an integrated steel structure, controls vibration during high-speed operation to within 0.3mm. Three sets of wire-feeding wheels, made of national standard Cr12, undergo precision polishing and heat treatment to reach 58HRC hardness. Even when continuously processing 8mm thick iron wires, they avoid slipping or wear, maintaining consistent wire-feeding accuracy.

Precision Shaping: Balancing Aesthetics and Functionality
The competitiveness of snack storage baskets lies in details: the neatness of square basket corners, the smoothness of circular basket curves, and the uniformity of multi-layer spacing. These details depend on the equipment’s extreme precision control. With ±0.5mm bending and wire-feeding accuracy, the 2D frame bending and butt welding integrated machine ensures each basket is as consistent as a "copy-paste" product.
This precision arises from the combination of "hardware + software":
- Hardware: 28 straightening wheels, made of national standard Cr12 and precision-machined with SKD11/51 to 62HRC, straighten bent iron wires to a flatness of ≤0.2mm, laying the groundwork for subsequent forming. Custom bending dies, with outer dies rotating 360° clockwise/counterclockwise and inner dies moving up/down, paired with 100 rpm bending speed, enable one-step forming of both 15cm mini baskets and 40cm large storage baskets.
- Software: Equipped with a 32-bit high-performance PLC, the machine supports 4000 sets of data storage, each containing 300 actions. Enterprises can pre-enter forming programs for dozens of basket types—square, circular, oval, with handles, multi-layered. Switching production from a 30cm living room square basket to a 20cm office circular basket takes only 3 minutes by calling preset parameters, no mold replacement needed, reducing downtime and ensuring consistency across specifications.
Material Adaptability: Flexible Switching from "Single Wire" to "Diverse Designs"
Snack storage basket designs are increasingly diverse: flat wires for minimalism, square wires for enhanced load-bearing, round wires for a retro look... The 2D frame bending and butt welding integrated machine’s "all-material compatibility" eliminates the need for equipment replacement for different wires, significantly reducing product line expansion costs.
Capable of handling 3-8mm iron wires—round, flat, or square—the machine adjusts clamping force via surface-adaptive gripping devices to avoid scratching. For 8mm thick wires, the servo system automatically increases output torque to 125 Nm to prevent bending deformation; for 3mm thin wires, it reduces clamping force to avoid damage. This "intelligent adaptation" allows enterprises to flexibly adjust designs, such as launching thickened load-bearing baskets in autumn/winter and lightweight breathable hollow baskets in spring/summer, quickly responding to market demands.
The welding process is equally adaptable. A 63KW welding transformer, paired with 2 sets of robotic clamps, achieves "penetration welding" for iron wires, with weld tensile strength exceeding 95% of the base material, preventing detachment even when baskets are hung full of snacks. For multi-layer welded baskets, the machine programs welding intervals to ensure layer height errors ≤0.5mm, enhancing structural stability and aesthetics.
Smart and User-Friendly: Making Production "Simple Enough for Anyone"
For many small and medium-sized snack storage basket enterprises, "technical barriers" hinder capacity expansion. The 2D frame bending and butt welding integrated machine simplifies complex production with "foolproof operation":
- A dual button + touchscreen system supports Chinese/English, enabling workers to master basic operations after 1 hour of training.
- Built-in upload/download functions allow saving programs to a USB drive for direct import during shifts or equipment changes, avoiding repeated debugging.
- Linked control of 9 cylinders and 5 solenoid valves automates feeding, retracting, straightening, cutting, and forming, ensuring ≥99% pass rates even for new operators.
This user-friendliness extends to "customization". For example, to create "special-shaped handles" for viral snack baskets, enterprises can combine 300 actions: rotate the outer die 45°, raise the inner die 10mm, and coordinate with precise cutting to form functional, aesthetic handles in one step. The machine acts as a "versatile craftsman", meeting both standardized mass production and small-batch customization needs, allowing enterprises to freely switch between "mass market" and "niche demands".
From supermarket shelves to home dining tables, every appearance of a snack storage basket is a "silent test" of production equipment. The 2D frame bending and butt welding integrated machine, with its efficiency, precision, and flexibility, transforms iron wires into functional, attractive storage tools through mechanical precision. For enterprises, it is not just a production device but a "key" to the market—enabling mass production to capture the mainstream market and fine processing to enter the high-end segment. As the snack storage basket industry shifts from "functional satisfaction" to "quality competition", this core equipment is redefining production value.
