I. Industry Pain Points: Efficiency and Quality Bottlenecks in Traditional Processes
In fields such as concrete machinery and chemical equipment, mixing rod rings serve as core transmission components, with their production processes long facing two major challenges:
-
Low Manual Processing Efficiency
: The traditional manual bending + argon arc welding model yields a single-operator daily capacity of only 500-800 pieces, with poor ring diameter consistency (errors exceeding ±2mm), struggling to meet mass production demands.
-
Unstable Welding Quality
: Manual welding prone to issues like false soldering and insufficient penetration, with a defect rate as high as 5%-10%, increasing rework rates in subsequent assembly and driving hidden costs to 15%-20%.
Industry Urgency
: An automated device integrating high-precision shaping and reliable welding is needed to solve the dilemma of "double low efficiency and quality."

IV. Future Trends: (Intelligence) and Flexibility Extensions
As mixing equipment evolves toward larger scales and customization, circle forming and butt welding integrated machines are upgrading in two directions:
