What Is Spot Welding Machine?

Recently, wire - formed storage baskets have gained great popularity in the market and are experiencing a sales boom. If you want to achieve the automated production of such products, a wire bending machine is undoubtedly an ideal choice. However, wire bending machines are divided into two types: 3D and 2D. What exactly are the differences between them? If you are also considering this issue, let us, a professional manufacturer of wire bending machines, analyze it in detail for you.

I. Differences in the Shapes of Processed Products

The processing of a 2D wire bending machine is limited to a single plane, and it can only produce simple flat - type single products. All bending actions are completed within this plane, and it is incapable of handling products with requirements for three - dimensional structures.

In sharp contrast, the 3D wire bending machine can perform well in three - dimensional space, achieving multi - dimensional, multi - angular, and multi - faceted bending and forming. Whether it is a three - dimensional product with a complex structure or a flat product, the 3D wire bending machine can handle it easily, and its application range is much wider.

II. Different Flexibilities of Bending Functions

The functions of a 2D wire bending machine are relatively limited. In terms of bending, it generally only has methods such as outer rotation and inner - die rotation. Even with the help of specific tooling, it is still very difficult to process relatively complex two - dimensional products.

The 3D wire bending machine has extremely powerful and flexible functions. It can complete various complex bending actions through multiple means such as the rotation of the rotating head axis and the lifting of the operating platform. What's more remarkable is that when using a 3D wire bending machine, there is no need to open additional molds. Just input the product data and quantity on the display, and the product processing can be automatically completed, which greatly improves production efficiency. 

III. Different Equipment Prices

In terms of price, the gap between the two is quite obvious. The price of a 2D wire bending machine is relatively affordable, generally ranging from 10,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan. Due to its advanced technology and powerful functions, the 3D wire bending machine usually has a higher price, roughly around 200,000 - 300,000 yuan. 

IV. Distinctive Control Systems

Most 2D wire bending machines adopt a control system that connects a PLC with a human - machine touch - screen. This system is easy to operate and get started with, and it can meet the basic production requirements for flat bending.

The 3D wire bending machine is equipped with a more advanced control system. Common ones include computer control systems and imported control cards. These systems not only have automatic imaging detection and alarm functions but also can achieve more complex motion control and have higher processing accuracy.

Working principles

• Bending machines: Their working principles usually rely on mechanical transmission components or hydraulic systems to generate powerful pressure, which acts on the workpiece placed between the molds, causing the workpiece to undergo plastic deformation according to the shape of the mold, thus achieving the bending effect. For example, for a common hydraulic bending machine, the hydraulic pump provides power to drive the piston movement of the hydraulic cylinder, and then drives the upper die to apply pressure downward on materials such as plates located on the lower die, making them bend to the set angle.
• Folding machines: Generally, through a series of mechanical structures and transmission devices, they drive folding tools or folding components to perform folding operations on materials with relatively gentle and regular movements. It is more like simulating the action of manual paper folding, folding materials in an orderly manner according to the preset creases. They are mostly suitable for folding relatively soft materials such as paper, leather, and thin soft plastic sheets, and often complete the folding process through methods such as roller rotation and mechanical arm driving.

Application ranges

• Bending machines: They are mainly applied in the field of metal processing, such as the bending processing of various metal plates, pipes, and wires. For example, in the machinery manufacturing industry, they are used to bend metal plates for making machine shells, or in the construction industry, they are used to bend metal structural parts such as steel beams to meet the needs of different structural construction. They focus on processing materials with higher hardness that require greater bending force.
• Folding machines: They play a more important role in packaging, printing, leather products and some light industry fields. For example, in a carton production factory, folding machines are used to fold corrugated cardboard into the prototype of a carton according to the designed shape; in a leather products factory, leather is folded into a specific shape for making leather products such as wallets and handbags, focusing on folding materials with relatively soft textures and thin thicknesses into shapes.

Structural characteristics

• Bending machines: The overall structure is relatively solid and heavy, and often equipped with a powerful power system. Whether it is a hydraulic type or a mechanical type, it needs to have a fuselage frame that can withstand large pressure, high-precision molds and stable and reliable transmission components. Because it has to deal with the huge reaction force generated when metal materials are bent, its structure is more inclined to high strength and high rigidity.
• Folding machines: The structure is relatively delicate and flexible. Usually, there are multiple rollers that can be accurately adjusted, folding knife holders and mechanical arms that can flexibly control the movement trajectory and other components. The design purpose is to be able to accurately and gently handle soft materials and achieve diversified folding styles, so the overall structure pays more attention to the combination of flexibility and precision.

Processing precision

• Bending machines: When bending metal materials, although they can also meet relatively high precision requirements, due to the characteristics of metal materials themselves and the complexity of the bending operation, their precision is mainly reflected in the approximate accuracy of angles and dimensions, allowing a certain error range. For example, in the bending of some metal structural parts used in construction, an angle error within a few degrees is considered qualified.
• Folding machines: For the folding of soft materials, especially when paper is used in fine fields such as printing and packaging, extremely high precision is required. The positions of creases, folding angles and so on all need to be accurate to millimeters or even smaller units to ensure the appearance and performance of the final product.

In the highly competitive metal wire processing industry nowadays, precision and quality are undoubtedly the keys for enterprises to gain a foothold in the market. And our meticulously crafted material straightening machine, with its outstanding performance, is empowering your production.
