The hollow rod end processing production line is engineered for the end-forming of hollow stabilizer bar tubing in automotive suspension systems, integrating end-section induction heating, hot forming (flattening / necking), riveting and press-fitting, and die-box assembly into a fully automated workflow from heating through finished assembly.
The end-section induction heating unit employs medium-frequency induction technology to deliver precise, localized heating exclusively to the rod ends, with fast ramp-up speed and accurate temperature control. This prevents thermal impact on the unheated tube body, ensures thorough softening of the end zone for smooth forming, and minimizes surface oxidation and decarburization.
Induction coils are custom-designed to match the specific outer diameter, wall thickness, and end geometry of each hollow rod specification, concentrating heat uniformly in the target zone and providing a stable, consistent thermal foundation for subsequent hot-forming operations such as flattening, swaging, and bending.
The riveting press and die-box press stations serve as the critical downstream assembly operations, performing precision press-fitting of the formed stabilizer bar ends with rubber bushings and end fittings to achieve tight dimensional tolerances and reliable joint integrity that meet automotive chassis assembly requirements.
The line incorporates digital phase-lock technology for automatic frequency tracking, operates without high-voltage hazards, and runs continuously for 24 hours with stable reliability. Energy consumption is reduced by approximately 60% compared to conventional heating methods and 20% compared to thyristor-based equipment, delivering strong overall cost efficiency.
Developed and manufactured by Wuxi Microenergy CNC Technology Co., Ltd., with extensive expertise in automotive suspension components, the line is exported to Southeast Asia, South America, Africa, and Eastern Europe, backed by comprehensive after-sales support and customizable turnkey engineering solutions.
