Super Austenitic Steel Bending Parts for Textile machinery

Custom bending parts are essential components in textile machinery. They are used to shape, guide, and transport fabrics throughout manufacturing. The quality and accuracy of these parts directly impact the efficiency and productivity of textile production. Therefore, it's critical to choose the right material and fabrication process for these parts. In this project case, we share our experience of fabricating custom-made bending parts using super austenitic steel for textile machinery.

Recently, we completed a batch of custom-made bending parts for textile machinery. These parts were made of 904L super austenitic stainless steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and good ductility. The thickness of the bending parts was 16mm, and the fabrication process involved cutting, beveling, and bending. Our customer had a high accuracy requirement, and we used advanced machinery to ensure the quality of the parts.

Fabrication Process

The fabrication process of these bending parts involved several steps, including cutting, beveling, bending, and inspection.

  1. Cutting: We used a Tanaka 6000W laser cutting machine to cut the stainless steel sheets into the required size and shape. Laser cutting is a precise and efficient process that produces clean edges and reduces material waste.
  2. Beveling: The next step was beveling, where we used a Shayang edge milling machine to prepare the edges of the stainless steel sheets for welding. Beveling ensures a smooth transition between the bending area and the unaffected area of the sheet, which is essential for accurate welding.
  3. Bending: We used a Huangduan 2000T Press Brake to bend the stainless steel sheets into the required shape. Press brake bending is a widely used method for sheet metal fabrication that provides high accuracy and repeatability.
  4. Inspection: After the bending process, we conducted a rigorous inspection to ensure the quality of the parts. We checked the dimensions, angles, and surface quality of each part to meet our customer's requirements.

Benefits of Metal Fabrication for Textile Machinery

The use of metal fabrication in textile machinery offers several benefits, including:

  • Durability: Metal parts are stronger and more durable than plastic or rubber parts. They can withstand the harsh conditions of textile production, including high temperatures, moisture, and chemical exposure.
  • Customization: Metal fabrication allows for custom designs and shapes that meet specific requirements. Customized parts can improve the efficiency and productivity of textile machinery.
  • Precision: Metal fabrication offers high precision and accuracy, which is essential for textile machinery. Accurate parts ensure smooth operation, reduce downtime and improve overall performance.
