This ear curling machine is essential for the automotive leaf spring industry, capable of efficiently processing flat curling/wrapping, center curling/wrapping, and bracket ear production.
The machine offers exceptional processing versatility, handling plate thicknesses up to 25mm and widths up to 120mm, while maintaining a tight inner diameter tolerance of 0.3mm across a range of Φ25—Φ130mm.
Utilizing a one-time downward curling formation process, the equipment achieves a production rate of 3–5 heads per minute and is engineered for continuous 24/7 operation across three daily shifts with a total power rating of 30KW.
Equipped with a Siemens PLC and a touch-screen interface, the system supports automated parameter input and comprehensive data collection, integrating premium components such as AirTAC pneumatics and Huade hydraulic valves for superior operational stability.
