3D Rotating Head Forming Machine: An Efficient and Precise New Option for Bicycle Cup Holder Production
2025-08-26
In the field of bicycle accessory manufacturing, bicycle cup holders are components that combine practicality and decorativeness. Their production efficiency and processing precision directly affect an enterprise’s market competitiveness. Traditional bicycle cup holder processing mostly relies on manual bending or simple equipment, which not only makes it difficult to achieve precise forming of complex 3D shapes but also has problems such as slow production speed and poor product consistency. Especially for the processing of 3-8mm iron wire materials, insufficient equipment power and low control precision often lead to unstable cup holder structures. However, the 3D rotating head forming machine, custom-developed for the bicycle cup holder industry, completely breaks the limitations of traditional processing through multi-axis coordinated drive, high-performance core configuration, and an intelligent control system. It has thus become a core piece of equipment for bicycle accessory enterprises to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Hardware Configuration: An Industry Benchmark for Efficient Bicycle Cup Holder Processing
In terms of hardware configuration, this 3D rotating head forming machine stands as an industry benchmark, providing strong support for the efficient processing of bicycle cup holders.
The equipment is equipped with 5 sets of control axes, and its core power system adopts motors from internationally renowned brands: the 2.7KW rotating arm motor, 4.5KW wire-feeding motor, 2.0KW angle-bending motor, 1.0KW lifting motor, and 1.0KW cutter motor all use Japan’s Sanyo Denki motors. These motors deliver stable and powerful power output, easily meeting the complex forming requirements of 3-8mm iron wire. For reducers, the machine uses Germany’s Neugart and Taiwan’s Chia Sheng Ya Chi brands, ensuring the synchronization and smoothness of each axis’s operation and avoiding processing errors caused by power transmission deviations.
In terms of processing capacity, the equipment covers a wire diameter range of Ф3-8mm and supports a maximum processing length of 2500mm. It is compatible with iron wire as well as aluminum, copper, and other materials of the same specification. Whether it is the circular main body, support bracket, or fixed buckle of a bicycle cup holder, all can be precisely formed in one go. Its maximum wire-feeding speed reaches up to 90 meters per minute; combined with flexible rotating arm and angle-bending movements, the production speed for standard bicycle cup holders is stably maintained at 8-10 pieces per minute—representing an efficiency improvement of over 200% compared to traditional equipment, which can easily handle bulk order demands.

Precision Control: A Core Advantage Meeting High Consistency Requirements
Precision control is the core advantage of this 3D rotating head forming machine, perfectly matching the high dimensional consistency requirements of bicycle cup holders.
The equipment adopts a high-precision synchronous control method, with a control precision of 0.01 units and a processing error accurately controlled within ±0.5mm. This ensures that the hole diameter, spacing, and bending angle of each cup holder fully comply with design standards, avoiding assembly difficulties caused by dimensional deviations.
Meanwhile, the machine is equipped with a handwheel and inching debugging function. When debugging molds for new-specification cup holders, operators can adjust parameters in real time and observe the forming effect without repeatedly disassembling the mold—greatly shortening debugging time. For program editing, tabular programming is adopted, supporting teach-in programming and direct axis coordinate input. This method is simple and easy to learn, allowing new employees to master operations after short-term training. The type, maximum speed, gear ratio, and direction of each axis can be freely set via parameters; the system also supports parameter backup and recovery, preventing production interruptions caused by program loss.
Intelligent and Humanized Design: Reducing Operating Costs and Operation Threshold
The intelligent and humanized design of the machine further reduces enterprises’ operating costs and operation thresholds.
-
Intelligent remote control: The equipment is equipped with a computer operating system and can connect to the Internet for remote control and operation. Even when not on the production site, managers can monitor the equipment’s operating status in real time and adjust processing parameters. The human-machine interface displays production efficiency and output in real time; when the output reaches the specified value, the machine can automatically stop, eliminating the need for manual monitoring and reducing labor costs.
-
Flexible layout and supporting facilities: In terms of equipment layout and supporting components, the main machine has dimensions of 2500mm×1700mm×1800mm and is matched with an automatic wire-feeding rack of 1300mm×1400mm×1100mm. The wire-feeding rack has a load capacity of approximately 2 tons, adapts to wire reels with a diameter of Ф1200mm, and needs to be kept at a distance of more than 2000mm from the main machine. Its compact structure and flexible layout allow easy integration into existing bicycle accessory production lines. The wire rack motor has a power of 1.5KW and uses the three-phase 380V industrial standard voltage, requiring no additional modification to the power supply system. The total weight of the equipment is about 500Kg, enabling convenient installation and movement.
Durability and After-Sales Support: Ensuring Enterprise Peace of Mind
In terms of durability and after-sales support, this 3D rotating head forming machine also provides reassurance to enterprises.
Core components are all selected from high-quality international brands and have undergone strict aging tests. Under normal usage conditions, the service life can reach more than 10 years, allowing the machine to stably undertake high-intensity production tasks for a long time. The manufacturer provides comprehensive after-sales support: from equipment installation and commissioning to daily maintenance, a professional team follows up throughout the process to ensure the machine operates continuously and efficiently.
Beyond bicycle cup holders, this 3D rotating head forming machine can also be extended to wire forming processing in fields such as auto and motorcycle parts, kitchen and bathroom hardware, daily-use hardware, and the lighting industry—for products including car cup holders, kitchen hooks, and lighting brackets. For bicycle accessory enterprises, this 3D rotating head forming machine is not only an "accelerator" for improving production efficiency but also a "guardian" for ensuring product quality. With its core advantages of high efficiency, precision, and intelligence, it helps enterprises seize opportunities in the fierce market competition.
