The machine tool housing is an external structural part used to protect the core components of the machine tool and improve operational safety. It is usually formed by sheet metal processing. It covers subcategories such as external protective covers, sheet metal shells, and equipment housings.
Core Functions
Safety Protection
- Isolate high-speed running parts (such as spindles and guide rails) to prevent operators from contacting dangerous areas.
- Block splashing chips, coolants and dust to reduce production environmental hazards.
Equipment Protection
- Extend the life of the machine tool: reduce the corrosion and wear of precision parts by external pollutants (such as metal debris and oil stains).
Environmental protection and efficiency
- Integrate chip removal ports and coolant recovery channels to optimize the workshop environment.
Layout and Structure
Modular Design: The split structure (door panel, top cover, side panel) is easy to install and maintain, and is suitable for different machine models.
Human-Machine Interaction Optimization
- The observation window is made of explosion-proof glass or transparent PC material, taking into account both safety and visibility.
- The layout of the control panel and the inspection port is ergonomic, reducing operator fatigue.
Internal Wiring Management: Preset cable troughs and fixing buckles ensure that the electrical lines are neat and avoid interference with moving parts.
Design Features
Material Selection: Mainstream materials: cold-rolled steel plate (SPCC), galvanized plate (SECC), 304 stainless steel (corrosion-resistant scenario).
Processing Technology
- The CNC bending accuracy reaches ±0.1mm to ensure assembly consistency.
- Welding uses full welding or argon arc welding to ensure structural strength and sealing.
Compatibility Design: Reserved heat dissipation holes and hydraulic pipeline interfaces to adapt to a variety of machine tool configurations.
Surface Treatment
Spray Coating: Epoxy resin powder coating, wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, RAL standard color numbers are optional.
Electrophoresis/Baking Paint: Suitable for industrial environments with high anti-rust requirements.
Stainless Steel Polishing: Brushed or mirrored finish to enhance the appearance (commonly used in medical and food equipment).
Quality Assurance
Internal Inspection Process
● Full Process Inspection: set key control points from cutting, bending, welding to spraying, implement process self-inspection and mutual inspection to ensure processing consistency
● Material Verification: provide raw material warranty (such as cold-rolled steel SPCC, stainless steel 304 material certificate), and conduct hardness and thickness sampling of key components
Process Control Standards
● Dimension Accuracy: key installation hole tolerance ≤±0.15mm, bending angle error ≤±1°, adapted to mainstream machine tool assembly requirements.
● Sealing Test: kerosene penetration test to ensure no leakage.
After-Sales Traceability Mechanism
● Batch management is adopted to retain process parameters and inspection records to support rapid traceability and improvement of quality problems
Terminal Application Areas
- CNC Machine Tools: external protection of machining centers, lathes, and milling machines.
- Special Equipment: stone cutting machines, injection molding machines, and laser engraving machine shells.
- Automated Production Lines: industrial robot workstations, dust covers for testing equipment.
