In a significant achievement, Openex recently accomplished the successful completion of the first batch of high-strength steel telescopic boom processing orders for an esteemed aerial work truck manufacturer. This accomplishment highlights the commitment to precision and quality in the fabrication of critical structural components.
Materials and Fabrication Process
The materials used in this project encompassed two types of high-strength structural steel, namely Q960 and BS700MCK2. These materials are chosen for their exceptional strength and durability, making them ideal for use in telescopic booms that play a pivotal role in the functionality and safety of aerial work trucks.
The fabrication process of the telescopic boom is a multi-step procedure that involves leveling, cutting, bending, and welding. Each of these steps is critical in ensuring that the finished product meets stringent precision requirements. Aerial work trucks rely on the integrity and precision of these booms for the safe and efficient execution of their tasks.
Meeting Precision Requirements
One of the primary challenges in this project was to meet the strict precision requirements set forth for the telescopic boom. These requirements included:
- Straightness: The boom needed to be impeccably straight to ensure safe and accurate operation.
- Diagonal: Precise diagonal measurements were crucial for the stability of the boom during use.
To achieve these precision standards, our team of dedicated technicians engaged in extensive discussions to develop an effective processing plan. This plan leveraged the performance advantages of our cutting-edge equipment, including leveling machines, laser cutting tools, and a 2000-ton bending machine.
The Role of Equipment
- Leveling Machines: These machines played a crucial role in ensuring that the raw materials were perfectly flat before the fabrication process began. This step was foundational in achieving the desired straightness and diagonal measurements.
- Laser Cutting: Our laser cutting technology enabled high-quality control of cutting straightness, ensuring that each component was cut with precision and accuracy.
- 2000T Bending Machine: The bending process is a critical step in creating the telescopic boom’s shape. Our 2000-ton bending machine allowed for precise control of bending angles, contributing to the overall straightness and dimensional accuracy of the boom.
Quality Control
Quality control was integral to the success of this project. Our technicians meticulously monitored and controlled various parameters during the fabrication process. Straightness error was closely scrutinized, with a tolerance of only ±1mm permitted. Additionally, the height difference was kept under 1.5mm, ensuring the uniformity of the finished product.
Special Tooling Platform
To further enhance precision during the welding process, our technicians developed a set of special tooling platforms. These platforms facilitated the precise alignment of components, ensuring that the telescopic boom’s straightness and dimensional accuracy were maintained throughout the welding process.
Customer Satisfaction
The first batch of products manufactured through this rigorous process was met with high praise from our valued customers. The aerial work truck manufacturer recognized the exceptional quality and precision that went into the fabrication of these telescopic booms. This accomplishment demonstrates our unwavering commitment to delivering products that not only meet but exceed customer expectations.
Conclusion
The successful completion of the first batch of high-strength steel telescopic boom processing orders is a testament to Openex’s dedication to precision and quality in fabrication.
