2D Wire Bending Machine: An Efficient Tool Reshaping the Production Pattern of the Hanging Basket Industry

In the field of hanging basket production, from small storage baskets for household use to large display baskets for supermarkets, there are strict requirements for product structural accuracy, production efficiency, and material adaptability. With its targeted technical design and comprehensive performance advantages, the 2D Wire Bending Machine has become a key equipment for hanging basket enterprises to break through production bottlenecks and enhance core competitiveness, injecting new momentum into efficient production in the industry.

In terms of industry adaptability, the 2D Wire Bending Machine is highly aligned with the production needs of hanging baskets. Most hanging baskets take iron as the core material, with wire diameters concentrated in the range of 2-6mm. This equipment not only accurately covers this material and wire diameter standard but also breaks through the limitations of wire shapes—it can flexibly process round wires, flat wires, and square wires, and is suitable for wires of any material. This feature is of great significance for hanging basket production: whether using round wires to make lightweight and transparent household hanging baskets, or square wires/flat wires to strengthen the load-bearing framework of heavy-duty supermarket hanging baskets, the equipment can adapt stably. There is no need for frequent mold replacement or adjustment of core parameters, which greatly reduces the cost and time required for switching between multiple product styles.

In terms of production efficiency and accuracy, the 2D Wire Bending Machine demonstrates advantages far exceeding traditional equipment. Its marked production speed is 8-10 pieces per minute, but when taking a 200*200mm square frame (a common basic structure of hanging baskets) as a sample, the actual efficiency can be increased to 20-25 pieces per minute. This speed is fully capable of meeting the mass production needs of hanging baskets, especially during peak order periods such as e-commerce promotions and home furnishing peak seasons, which can significantly shorten the delivery cycle. While improving efficiency, there is no compromise in accuracy: both wire feeding accuracy and bending accuracy reach ±0.5mm, which is crucial for the structural stability of hanging baskets. Whether it is the bending angle of the basket frame, the connection size between the handle and the basket body, or the spacing control of the bottom grid, precise processing accuracy can avoid assembly difficulties or load-bearing risks caused by dimensional deviations, ensuring that each batch of hanging baskets meets quality standards and reducing rework and material waste.

The hardware configuration of the equipment is the core support for efficient and stable operation. In terms of the power system, the 2D Wire Bending Machine is equipped with domestic Oree servo motors, with a total power of approximately 5.8KW—including a 2.3KW wire feeding servo, a 1.5KW bending servo, a 1.0KW cutter servo, and a 1.0KW lifting servo. The power distribution accurately matches the entire "wire feeding - bending - cutting - forming" process of hanging basket production. The powerful wire feeding servo enables a maximum wire feeding speed of 90m/min; when combined with 18 sets of straightening wheels (made of national standard Cr12, precision-processed with SKD11/51, and having a hardness of 58-62°), it can fully straighten iron wires, preventing wire bending from affecting forming accuracy. The 3 sets of wire feeding wheels are also made of national standard Cr12; after precision polishing and heat treatment, their hardness reaches 58°, and their wear-resistant property greatly extends the service life of vulnerable parts and reduces maintenance costs. Relying on the 1.0KW cutter servo and high-hardness materials, the cutter system can quickly cut 2-6mm iron wires, resulting in a smooth and burr-free cutting surface that requires no subsequent grinding, further improving production efficiency.

The intelligent and flexible design makes the 2D Wire Bending Machine more suitable for the production needs of hanging baskets with diverse styles. The equipment supports 10,000 sets of data storage, and 300 actions form a set of programs. This means enterprises can pre-enter the production parameters of hanging baskets of different specifications (such as round, square, and multi-layered ones); when switching styles, they only need to call the corresponding program without re-programming and debugging. Its bending action control is extremely flexible: the inner mold can move up and down, the outer mold can move up and down, and it can also achieve 360° clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. Combined with up to 300 action settings, it can form various complex shapes required for hanging baskets—from the arc transition of the basket body to the bending angle of the handle, all can be accurately achieved. In addition, the equipment is equipped with a Chinese-English bilingual system (with upload and download functions), a dual-operation control panel (touch screen + buttons), and a 32-bit high-performance processor, making it easy to operate and highly stable. Both domestic production teams and enterprises with overseas cooperation needs can quickly get started with it. The addition of the CAD module supports direct import of design drawings, shortening the cycle from product design to production implementation and helping enterprises quickly respond to market demands for new products. The input voltage is three-phase 380V + ground wire, which is compatible with the power supply environment of most industrial production sites. The mechanical actions are accurately controlled by a microcomputer program, realizing integrated operations of automatic feeding, automatic material return, straightening and cutting, and bending forming. This reduces manual intervention, lowers labor costs, and avoids human operation errors. The pneumatic system adopts a simple configuration of 1 air cylinder and 1 solenoid valve, featuring low failure rate and easy maintenance, ensuring continuous and stable operation of the equipment.

For hanging basket production enterprises, the 2D Wire Bending Machine is not only a production equipment but also an "accelerator" for optimizing production processes and enhancing product competitiveness. With its efficient production speed, precise processing quality, flexible style adaptability, and stable operation performance, it solves the pain points of low efficiency, poor accuracy, and difficulty in style switching in traditional production. While controlling costs, it helps enterprises quickly seize market share. As the hanging basket industry continues to raise requirements for product quality and delivery efficiency, the 2D Wire Bending Machine will surely become the core production equipment for more enterprises, driving the industry toward higher quality and greater efficiency.
