In the supermarket shelf display system, hooks, as the key carrier connecting commodities and shelves, their production efficiency, precision and safety directly affect supermarket operation efficiency and consumer experience. The emergence of
2D wire bending machine + chamfering precisely meets the production needs of supermarket hooks (mainly made of iron). With its fully automated operation, high-precision forming and flexible adaptability, it has become the core equipment for supermarket hook manufacturers to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
In terms of basic adaptability, this equipment is highly matched with the production needs of supermarket hooks. Most supermarket hooks are made of 08 iron wire with a diameter ranging from 3-8mm. The equipment is not only optimized for iron wires but also compatible with various wire forms such as round wires, flat wires and square wires. Whether it is a conventional straight rod hook, a curved hanging rod or a special hook with a buckle, precise forming can be achieved by adjusting the wire form, eliminating the need for frequent equipment replacement and reducing production complexity.
In terms of production efficiency, the equipment's performance is a benchmark in the industry. For standardized products like supermarket hooks, the regular production speed can reach 8-10 pieces per minute. Taking a 200*200mm square frame (a common basic structure of hooks) as a sample, the efficiency can be further increased to 12-15 pieces per minute, far exceeding the traditional production mode of manual bending plus separate chamfering. This high efficiency comes from a powerful power and automation system:
- It adopts 4-axis drive with domestic Oree servo motors, with a total power of about 7.8kw. Among them, the 4.0kw wire feeding servo can achieve a maximum feeding speed of 37m/min, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted wire supply;
- The 1.8kw bending servo drives the bending mechanism to operate at about 300 rpm, and with the inner and outer molds that can rotate 360° clockwise and counterclockwise (supporting downward/upward movement), it quickly completes the forming of the hook's curvature and angle;
- The 1.0kw cutter servo and 1.0kw auxiliary servo simultaneously complete wire cutting and chamfering, realizing the full-process automation of "feeding - straightening - cutting - chamfering - bending - returning", completely eliminating the efficiency bottleneck of manual operation and the gap between processes.
Precision and safety are the core quality requirements for supermarket hooks, and this equipment excels in both aspects. The bending precision and wire feeding precision are stably maintained at ±0.5mm, which can accurately control the hook's rod length, curvature and opening size, ensuring that each batch of products has uniform specifications and fits the standardized shelf holes in supermarkets. Most importantly, the integrated chamfering function of the equipment can remove burrs and sharp edges after wire cutting, avoiding scratches to staff or damage to product packaging during transportation, installation and use of the hooks, thus greatly improving product safety. This high precision and safety come from dual guarantees: on the one hand, mechanical actions are precisely controlled by pre-set microcomputer programs, and parameters such as bending speed and chamfering depth can be adjusted in real time to avoid random errors caused by manual operation; on the other hand, the 32-bit high-performance control module paired with Yaqi servo system can quickly respond to instructions and correct action deviations, ensuring that every process is accurately controllable.
Operational convenience and equipment durability further reduce the production threshold and costs for enterprises. The equipment is equipped with a dual control mode of touch screen + buttons, supports Chinese/English bilingual system, and has a built-in data upload and download function. Even novice operators can quickly master basic operations within 30 minutes, significantly reducing enterprise training costs. In terms of data storage, the equipment can save 4000 sets of data (with 300 actions as one set). Parameters of common specifications of supermarket hooks (such as 10cm rod length, 15cm rod length, 5cm hook opening, etc.) can be pre-stored. When switching products, there is no need to reprogram, and only preset programs need to be called, increasing the production change efficiency by more than 50%. At the same time, the equipment uses high-quality components (such as a stable pneumatic system, including 1 cylinder and 1 solenoid valve), which can have a service life of more than 10 years under normal use. Moreover, the manufacturer provides comprehensive after-sales support, effectively reducing the later maintenance costs of the equipment.
In addition, the equipment's flexible forming capability can help enterprises expand their product categories. Through the combination of up to 300 action settings, in addition to conventional supermarket hooks, it can also produce derivative products such as hook-type shelf dividers, multi-layer hooks, and functional hooks with label slots, meeting supermarkets' needs for personalized display tools and helping enterprises open up new profit growth points in the fierce market competition. Whether it is mass production of conventional hooks or small-batch customization of special products, the 2D wire bending machine + chamfering can always perform efficiently, precisely and safely, becoming the core competitiveness support for supermarket hook manufacturers.
