Introduction

A specialized straight-line forming system for automotive front panels. The forming platform is propelled by hydraulic units. Dual-side reversal platform cylinders allow the upper mold to pivot up to 90°, while the tooling engagement is controlled through a servo‑motor‑driven locking mechanism. The lower mold features vacuum suction for secure panel hold and accurate forming.

Working & Design

• Straight‑line hydraulic travel: Ensures linear, stable vertical motion of the forming platens.

• Reversal mold capability: Driven by dual cylinders, the upper mold reverses up to 90° to facilitate easy loading/unloading.

• Servo‑motor locking: A closed‑loop servo system offers precision mold locking and unlock cycles.

• Vacuum work-holding: Below-the-mold vacuum suction maintains panel position and integrity during forming.

The automated production sequence includes multiple synchronized steps:

1. Recirculating chain drive continually moves trolleys.

2. Air exhausting clears fixture cavities before mould closing.

3. Fixture tilting, unlocking, and automatic opening prepare for loading.

4. Manual tasks: unloading formed parts, cleaning, applying release agent, and loading new panels.

5. Automatic phases: injection of the panel, mould closing, air connection, positioning fixture, locking fixture, and curing cycle.

6. Recycle: after curing, cycle resets and trolley advances to next station.

This stepwise automation supports both high efficiency and precision production.

Key Features:

• Servo / Converter motor-driven chain system: Offers high precision, torque, and speed control—ideal for synchronized forming lines.

• Multi‑station elliptical layout: Maximizes throughput with continuous trolley progression.

• Dual heating methods: Electric and steam options ensure flexible thermal control.

• Automatic fixture actions: Bolstered with tilting, unlocking, opening, locking, and curing to minimize manual intervention.

• Integrated manual steps: Essential human operations (cleaning, loading, release agent application) seamlessly blend with automated cycles.

• High-volume suitability: Designed to support intensive production and quick cycle times.

Advantages

• Continuous, high-efficiency production: Recirculating trolley and chain drive facilitate smooth, nonstop operation.

• Precision-controlled heating: Supports consistent panel quality through uniform temperature regulation.

• Automated fixture handling: Reduces cycle time, enhances repeatability, and lowers labor strain.

• Flexibility: Includes manual interfaces to accommodate diverse part types and production needs.

• Load-capable and synchronised drive system: Servo motors deliver robust torque, rapid acceleration, and reliable indexing .

Applications

• Automotive front-panel and exterior sheet-metal panel production (e.g., bonnet skins).

• Medium to high-volume automotive production lines.

• Environments needing precise thermal control and mix of automated/manual processing.

• Retrofit or integration into existing forming plants.

1. Selection: The servo-driven disc rotates to bring the targeted station into processing position.

2. Positioning: Vehicle-type fixture blocks ensure alignment and precise placement of parts.

3. Processing: Once locked, operations like welding, bending, or forming are performed.

4. Indexing: Post-process, the disc indexes to the next station, enabling cyclic or flexible operations.

This sequence allows efficient, repeatable handling of multiple vehicle types with minimal manual changeover.

Key Features & Advantages

• High flexibility: The disc-based layout supports quick switching and easy integration of new vehicle types by adding blocks—ideal for multi-model production.
